Most medical professionals do not appreciate patients self prescribing or changing their medication regimes especially if the suggestion is for increasing the dose of medications like benzo's such as Xanax and diazepam that are strictly speaking intended for short term use of only a few weeks. Don't get me wrong as i don't know why you are taking xanax but benzo's like them and Diazepam are a real life saver if your experiencing real intense extreme anxiety, psychosis or even certain substance abuse withdrawals but getting into the habit of feeling that floaty relaxed high benzo feeling for a long term time period is really digging yourself into a hole that is quite hard to get out of.
If you don't mind me asking Benzo buddy why are you prescribed xanax? Have you been diagnosed with a mental illness or condition by a Psychiatrist ? Are you attending a community mental health clinic and are the meds you mentioned all you are prescribed?
Yeah i have a lot of mental health problems, about to get my SSI.
My diagnosis are: Major Depressive Disorder, Bi-polar 1, Anti-social personality disorder, panic attacks, agrophobia, and very very strong anxiety.
Now the xanax im prescribed is for panic attacks and uncontrollable anxiety attacks.
Now the klonopin im prescribed is for long term anxiety/panic attacks and seziures. I belive im borderline epiletic.
Now for the reason of change, i said 45 2mg bars because i already get 90 1mg foot balls. So i figure up those and only take when really needed.
The phenobarbital i actually really enjoyed when i had it lol, and it is very long lasting! I figured that could help with a lot of my problems.
Then lastly 60mgs of valium is the equivalence of how much klonopin i use. The goal here is eventually wein off everything but ill probaley be on some form of benzodiazepine for life due to my mental health illness.
Now i wasnt just going to go into my docs office and just ask for this shit lmao (even my dumbass knows better than that) I go to counseling for CBT i was going to have my counselor after we discussed these medications if possible write something that it would be in my best intrest to be on these meds instead. Idk i just cant wait to get my SSI with like 2years back pay a great lawyer and litterly the best social security judge. Anymore questions feel free to ask, also suggestions or help im open too. Thank you all!
