I need benzo?

I need benzo?

I have been on many ssris including paxil and on it i felt so relieved but for some reason doctor had to put me off it because i had mania on it and now i am now on 70mg prozac and lamotregine and olanzepine but i still feel anxious and whenever i tell doctor he tells me it’s normal to have certain levels of anxiety because it serves a purpose but i can’t tell a debilitating anxiety from normal one
What are downsides?

Requesting advice on how to explain this to my dr

Hi everybody. So I’ve been prescribed Klonopin for over 10 years. I moved to a new state last year and was switched from 60 pills a month to 15 and it was hell for months. Now I’ve been slowly brought up to 25 a month (all 1 mg btw). Obviously I feel I was at my best when I was getting the 60 pills and able to take 2 mg a day, I’ve realized this won’t be attainable in my current state and I don’t want to switch doctors and risk my dose being lowered any more. My doctor upped me to 25 per month about 4 months ago but I really feel like I would do better with at least 30 per month. My doc has already upped my dose 2 times since I started with her so I’m afraid if I ask a 3rd time she might cut me off. She also told me that benzos “don’t work if you take them daily”. Personally I’m not really sure what the difference is between 25-30 a month lol. Sometimes she lets me pick up my script a couple days early but I would still feel better knowing I have one every day. Any thoughts or advice on this?

Propanolol

Was prescribed it alongside my Clonazepam. Had doc take me off of it cuz it really didn’t do shit. I got bad social anxiety and clonaz is such a blessing it’s significantly calms me down makes me less fidgety etc. anyone have success with Propanolol?

If this is the shit keeping me alive for now, then so be it

I started self medicating with benzos two some years ago. I never did it to get high, just to be able to have a presence in the world and in my own head that was bearable. The anxiety and stress of life was too not to be lived in, and the mess going on with my head didn't allow me to breathe. Diazepam helped with that. By no means was I in a good place, but at least I was in a place.

Life took it turns, I just got back from rehab for opiates a few weeks backs, relapsed, got somehow back on my feet, suddenly got offered a pretty well paying fucking job for my degree and age in this part of the country, but life, man, it keeps choking me. So I started using benzos again. Not to get high, just to get by. And my plan is to continue doing so until it's time to let go. I can't function with the copious amount of stress, shame and anxiety going on in my day to day life. I'd rather shoot myself to the ground.

I don't take these pills because I want too, I do it because I have to. Because I have to be a functional new employee at the office on Monday. Because I want to answer my friends instead of laying under my blanket crippled by anxiety. To have the guts to call my mom and tell her things are fucked instead of just putting my phone on 'do not disturb' for days on end.

If it has to be with benzodiazepines, then so fucking be it

Anxiety and depression took control of my life

Hey, as in the title. Don't want to suffer, don't want to be sad all the time, but don't wanna get addicted to my benzo either. Trying to find the right balance in taking my as-needed prescribed pills. Such a dilemma i have.

My tolerance is huge

Hey guys so the other day I took 40mg of Klonopins, did some breathwork and felt anxious instead lol.

I am addicted to Xanax, I take it daily, around 4-12mg, it dependa on the day, but a lot of people have recommended I switch to Klonopin, when I take it I feel a lot more, awake.

Xanax creates intense mindless for me, but at the same time my body is used to huge ammounts of both so I don't know how to start a protocol or something to just go on with my life.

Today was another sad day, took 14mg Xanax, 6mg Klonopin, and I still feel anxious, not really, but I still feel the BINDS, so the only thing I feel is emptiness and guilt, funnily my coordination, writing, and pretty much every bodily function I seem to have improves when I take somewhat high doses.

I just want help, but cannot get a doctor, am I doomed to die because of this addiction? I cold turkeyed 3 years ago of 420mg daily Xanax and 240mg Klonopin (seriously, not kidding, not pressies, i'm not from first world), and I endured three months of hell, got back onto Xanax, realized I had BINDS, got into a taper plan on my own with Valium, succeded, sobered up for 6 months, relapsed last year on november, and ever since, I am just fucking lost.

What the fuck do I do? I am truly getting sicker and sicker everyday, I cannot do anything by myself and honestly sometimes it feels as if I've already died and this is my purgatory.

I know I won't die if I just quit but, my brain hurts, I used to be such a smart boy. How I wish things didn't get this far.

I suffer tremendously both on and off the pills, what do I do?

Do I go the route of addiction, or do I go the route of slow recovery whilst being humilliated in a city that's basically New Yorks 90s, unable to speak, unable to fuck, shaking all the time, DPDR, stomach ache.

Fuck, I'm just tired, hopefully this Klonopin does some shit.

I just want the pain to stop and be at peace for once in my life

Took 1mg kpin w no tolerance feeling really good, had a beer, would it be a waste to dose another .5 ?

Yo!!!
Took 1mg clonazepam about an hiur and a half ago and in feeling it oretty good now and its a lot of fun, im having a smoke and just about finished a beer. Would another .5 be anything meaningful and would another 1mg just knock me out?

opioids?

i’d assume there’s a lot of overlap in benzos and opioid users. i love both of course, but never done them together. but i have 7-oh after being off all opioids for a month so my tolerance is low (fuck yeah) and i’m getting 35 2mg farmaprams on friday, i know it’s a pretty dangerous combo with traditional opiates but ofc 7-oh is only a partial agonist but id still assume there’s some risk combining 7-oh and xanax. i was thinking of doing my regular dose of 7-oh and a calm luh 0.5mg? or should i do half my dose and 0.5mg. let me know gang. peace out

UK bros: I've searched all over WEDINOS and this subreddit but haven't seen these ksalols even once!

Just picked up some ksalols from a reputable supplier. The problem is that I have searched every single page on wedinos and searched this subreddit too and haven't seen these ones at all!

They're white, with the number 2 on one side and 2 lines going through the other side, effectively allowing them to be split into quarters.

Has anybody had experience with these ones? I'm in the London area.

I took half of one but don't feel shit yet, although recently brom has nuked my tolerance so it may be that.

Clonazepam beginner dosage?

I’m not new to benzos entirely but haven’t used them frequently in years

I’ve taken .25mg / .5mg of Xanax maybe twice this year and that’s all the benzos. In getting some kpin and was curious how dosage compares- 0.5mg xan is usually good to get me real chill and calm but j wanna dip my toe a bit deeper with benzos and was wondering if 1mg is too much for my first time with the drug?
