35 – 40 pounds. I went down to a US size 0 or 2. I have been critized by some and praised by others. I am happy I lost the weight, as I am a dancer and now I am lithe and the muscle cuts that were hidden under fat now show. And where I live women are expected to be skinny. I always think of the line in the book/movie The Devil Wears Prada: you are a size 4? You need to lose weight! Size 0 or 2 is the new size 4!

I lost 20 lbs, went from a size 10 to a size 6, I’ve been off 1 month now and started to get my appetite back and regained about 5lbs. Give it time and things will return to normal

I have lost rom 112 at 5’2″ down to 79 pounds. I eat every 2-3 hours but have developed multiple food sensitivities. My small intestines hurt all the time. If I were a teenager, they would have hospitalized me long ago but no doctors seem very concerned. My body mass index is 14.

For those of us who have lost weight perhaps we can write the next best selling diet book – take benzos for at least a year – go off too rapidly and watch the pounds or kilos just roll right away. We all know it works. I am on diet trying to gain back my lost 10 lbs – and can’t seem to do it – 105 lbs and a size 0 or 2 – I think I look awful – true friends agree others want to know my secret. Perhaps I should tell them?

I lost around 50lbs during taper, I am now 2 months valium free, I want to eat, I am hungry but the acid reflux I have developed during w/d wont allow me to over eat or eat naughty foods.
So I just eat what I can, sometimes I just say oh well today I will eat what I want but that means I have to stay awake all night which is not so good, you see when I lie down all hell breaks loose, acid reflux turns kind of apocalyptic on me!
I hope I will put on the weight it again, I am seeing some improvements, I have feeling 2 months is no where near the time needed for my stomach to recover, I say 6 months inn I should start seeing improvements (I hope)

I lost about 10% of my body weight during the acute w/d phase. The frightening thing was having ZERO appetite. I had to force myself to eat. I used to consume 2500-3000 calories per day but during w/d, trying to choke down 1000 was hell. Eating only seemed to make my w/d symptoms worse. There is no question it was scary and the weight loss was one of my big concerns during this phase.
I still have not fully regained my appetite 6mo after w/d symptoms began but it is better. Strenuous excercise really helps… but there’s really no way to exercise during acute w/d other than to maybe slowly shuffle around the block one time.
Yeah, Kgirl has it right. Benzo w/d is by far the most effective weight loss plan.

Hello,
I had always been very active, I am 6′, I weighed 185-190 lbs (my adult life). I have always eaten A LOT but, like I said I was very active (Gym Rat; Balleys, Golds, Worlds). Started on these medications; first two years……..okay, then I started gaining weight all the way up to 311 lbs (this did nothing for my self esteem add to that no sleep, emotionally I was really messed up). I watched what I ate, exercised, nothing worked (I felt defeated). It was not till my Dr. started tapering me off of medication that the weight just fell off, not just fat, muscle too. In June of last year I weighed 168 lbs. My GP told me I was just getting old…HA! My psychiatrist told me that the medications I was on can affect your metabolism. Sounded better to me. Today I weigh 187 lbs and not fat but, mass, bulk. It hurt to sit I was so bony or stand on my feet due to lack of cushioning.
These medications, who knows how they really affect your body. For me it has been a wild ride in a Cuisinart.
So I guess; gain weight, lose weight, I experienced both but, it evened back out and I still have 20 1/2 mg to go. As for me, who really knows what’s next. Just have to wait and see. I’m thinking the best though……I have to……..we all do.
peace
