Had 8 months off Klonopin....PAWS was just too bad, reinstated to 1.5mg Ativan....body stabilized, sorta, mind never did. Tried tapering Ativan, no luck, switched to Valium....Made major cut down to 5mg....Not stable, but tolerating, cut down to 2.5....I have been hovering around this site for awhile now as benzobuddies sweet loving nature and anti medication bs literally makes me wanna rip someones face off.....
Obviously I have gotten down to a pretty low dose for a couple weeks now, I've tried to stop, but I think there is bad kindling present...Stepped into the gates of hell (benzo peeps know whats up) The question is, what adjuctive meds can I use to either soften the blow or put me in such a state that I really don't care I'm in acute...I've been looking into trileptal and very seriously considering it.
My most awful symptoms aside from the crushing depression and derealization acid effect is the burning skin, nerve pain and rigid twisting spasm twitching muscles ALL over my body....I already have clonodine and hydroxyzine. Any other options would be greatly appreciated, especially if they can be backed by experience. Trying to put together a rational cocktail for the looming agony that awaits. Not against narcotics, but availability could be an issue depending on substance.
Keep in mind I'm so raw at this point after 8 months of agony from a horrific ct, I swear I'm suffering PTSD from the experience as well as in a SEVERE depression at the moment, I really need all the support I can get to skate through this. I know its unavoidable, but I need to make it as comfortable as possible...All options on the table. Lets hear it. And if you are gonna say taper or give me a link to some Ashton shit, play in traffic.
