Oh yeah clonazepam did definitely work. But I don't want to take benzos for life. I've read too many bad stories about benzos' WD.
I took pregabalin for a few weeks and tolerance builds up too quickly (it's worse than tramadol, in that sense). Anxiolysis was no longer working within days of taking it.
Also I gained a kind of chronic tolerance, today I can take 1 gram and I don't feel anything.
I think it was 50 grams per day for that period (3 months?). Thing is, I had already taken sertraline (2011) before and I felt it worked better that time. I asked the doctor to change my AD but he sent me to hell.
True, but by "clean" I meant the recreational use of any drug (coca, marijuana, tramadol, codeine, benzos, whatever). What are you self-medicating with, buddy?
