I didnt even think about withdrawal. I havent been using the benzos i've had available therapeutically. Ive been using lorazepam, bromazepam and alprazolam. I'll use "Xanax equivalent" to describe my use though. A couple nights (maybe 5 or so) I used up to 3-3.5mg. But the average is probably around 0.75mg per night. Some nights I didnt use any, some nights I used small amounts of alpazolam (like .25-.5mg xanax) or lorazepam (like 1-2mg) with opiates. Which I am around day 4/5 of very mild Withdrawal of (Mild codeine/Tram use ~ 500mg currently clean). Given the aforementioned and the possibility of a benzp withdrawal/rebound i've been taking 2.5mg lorazepam nightly (last few days), i'm not feeling amazing but not horrific either. Should I CT? I was thinking a quick-taper would be in order; say drop to 1.25mg lorazepam tonight (maybe + 0.25mg xanax or 1.5mg bromazepam) for a couple days then jump off and use 0.25 xanax as needed until clear). Around mid-year I did a similar thing and just jumped off without a taper.
Thoughts/advice/input?
Meds I have available;
-Hydroxyzine 25mg (taking 50mg nightly atm, going to up it to 100mg with drop in benzo)
-Quetiapine 200mg (taken nightly as part of treatment) which I can up.
-small amount of diphenhydramine and doxylamine.
-Bromazepam 6mg bars & 0.5mg Xanax tabs.
-only 7.5mg of lorazepam left.
I can use/vary any of the above.
I have a long international flight in under 3 weeks
