I have been taking benzo's on and off for some years. The first time i knocked it on the head, i was lucky, taking 2mg a night every other day or so for a couple years with the odd break. I had minimal withdrawals apart from insomnia and panic attacks for a week but i was going through some other stuff at the time I've always suffered from anxiety and panic attacks. I didn't suffer any of the other horrific symptoms.
Like the fool i am after a good while i start to take them again with a vengeance after suffering a traumatic event which I've posted about. Diazepam xanax etizolam fluborazepam, other rc benzos before the ban. Basically whatever i could get. My tolerance now is insane for me. I don't take other downers. I take stims and occasionally psychedelics and drink alcohol whilst on other drugs recreationally, its borderline addiction as i get high nearly every weekend but i dont take drugs everyday, i never have apart from benzos and believe me i wish i hadn't.
Back to why I'm here. I was saying about my tolerance, I need 8mg etiz to even feel them.
Maybe it's psychological, I'm not sure because before i could get hold of them again i was only able to get fluborazepam which are very long acting. I feel no recreational effects from these at all. They don't help me sleep. Simply put anxiety at bay for a couple days. It's been well over a week and half since i last had the fluborazepam in a way to test myself but in all honesty i have no idea what I'm doing.
I've got to the point where i want to stop and i can go a good few days without any withdrawals, i manage to sleep. So for the past couple week I've only taken etizolam or fluborazepam once a week before that it was twice and before that it was daily but only at night.
Im wondering if my dependency is more psychological again but i dare not to find out. Sticking at my weekly dose when i begin to feel anxious. For certain reasons i cannot tell my doctor. I've tried cbt to help with my mental state. It didn't help.
I suffer quite bad from a number of things.
Most recently agoraphobia brought on by PTSD.
If i only start to feel like i need to dose around once a week is that good? I'm so worried im not helping myself because i THINK i will go into harsh withdrawals after around a week so i get anxious. Pop a few tablets and get a shit quality of sleep.
Something else I've noticed. I don't sleep as well. Without anything to help me sleep it takes longer but i sleep deeper.
If i was physically addicted could i continue to do what ive been doing or would i be going through physical withdrawal right now? I'm not in denial i know it's a problem but i just wanna know how big.
Im running out of sources so i have to quit. I only wanted what i thought was a magical cure to my mental health problems.
