“My mind is completely blank. No spontaneous thoughts whatsoever. Also no feelings…. Profound anhedonia, brutal depression…. Living with a blank mind like I am just a pair of eyes”
Cause
r/benzorecovery first-person OP u/Afraid-Country4116 (post 1v6fvix): cold-turkey quit 14 years of 2mg Klonopin (prison-forced) plus catastrophic chronic stress → blank mind / no spontaneous thoughts + also no feelings + profound anhedonia. Unused benzo-CT author (≠ wordpress-klonopin 82 / katz 146 / lorazepam 101).
Duration
~3 months at posting (bedbound since nervous-system crash)
Recovery notes
Asks if blank mind goes away; still profound cognitive impairment, photophobia, anhedonia, depression at ~3mo off; no recovery claimed.
