About 2 years ago, weed started chronic quite bad anxiety, i was just dealing with it and stopped weed hoping it would go away but it didnt for a long time, Ive abused every drug under the sun but benzos are the only ones that have caused me problems, first discovered valium which helped amazingly and just used it for only up to a week at a time on occasionals, never had WDs really, had a rough time coming off xanax afterabout 10 days use but that was over fairly quick, well about 2 months ago i using diaz, occinoally xanax and temazepam, not daily (few times a week, but i got into doing stupid doses as it just wasnt effecting me as much now, i felt quite bad so went to the docs and got put on 20mg a day valium (which alone was giving me slight WD's due to the drop in dose) the tapering was bad, made me very deppressed and anxious and felt to shit to go out, i just dont feel like i can handle that for 2-3 months or so, im currently on 7mg xanax and feeling a bit relaxed and wobbly but not sleepy, its hell tbh,im getting rid of most of the xanax in the house maybe apart from a few for emergency purposes.
Thing is it seems the docs here in the UK dont know too much about benzo wd/tapering, i told them my doses but was put down to 20mg dropping 2mg every week or 2 but thats a long drawn out process i cant really take since i will be in constant mild-modereate withdrawal because of my tolerance, should i go to a proper drugs clinic and see what they say?
Ive been told using lyrica is a much more pleasent way of coming off benzos from speaking to people, its anti seizure plus takes away some of the withdrawal symptoms, could just ditching the benzos and using 250-300mg lyrica twice a day for just a week or 2 help me get over the worst of it? I have a drugs councelor that i speak to and im going to haave to explain the situation to her, will minor use of opiates help too? Anything to just get off it painless'ly and quickest and possible, GBL has been helping, some days ive just not taken any benzos and done gbl and been symptom free, its just the constant redosing and that carrys nasty withdrrrwals on its own but they only last a few days, not the weeks of mental hell with benzos.
Firstly i think im going to get rid of the xanax because doses that high are just asking for hell, and might just use gbl for a few days then go from there, but im really really worried about this and would appriciate any advive. thanks
