Benzos Can Two Weeks of Iintermittent Abuse Cause Withdrawls?

[Roachmon95]

over the past two weeks i've stupidly and foolishly abused clonazepam to the point of taking 7mg in one day. My use has been intermittent, but I've probably taking around 20mg in the last two weeks. Before this my tolerance wasn't high at all, I just took 1mg as needed for panic attacks. I also combined my doses with alcohol a handful of times (again stupidly and foolishly). My last use was tuesday night. I blacked out and woke up in the morning with spilt alcohol and food on my floor. That morning my problem with abusing drugs hit me, and im ready to quit this shit. Since thursday afternoon I've been experiencing debilitating depression, and it hasn't let up much since then. My question is, could I be experiencing benzo withdrawl with this amount of use for such a short time? and if so how long will this shit last? I'm damn near suicidal the depression is so bad.......I can't stand it. I'm so pissed at myself for being irresponsible and screwing my tolerance up to a drug that I truly need for anxiety. Does anybody have any suggestions for the depression and staying clean in general? and possibly getting my tolerance down to where my prescribed dose is effective for anxiety? I'm freaking done, I can't take it anymore.

Severely depends on your past use, but yes

Jeez, sounds like you should drop this drug if shit stays this bad. I have a problem with Clons and alcohol too, more than any other drug, and usually I get blacked out and swallow the whole bottle. I had to quit and look into other ways of dealing with life. Good luck Roachmon

The feelings of the next morning could have been stronger due to the alcohol as well.
I don´t think you will undergo a severe withdraw though. It does not seem to me that you have taken that much neither for that long.
It´s gonna be uncomfortable and odd, psychologically speaking.
It´s the perfect opportunity to leave this behind you.
It could have been a lot worse, IMO.
Good luck!

I think most of us at some point or another have troubles with blacking out with benzos...alcohol just makes it 10x worse

Two weeks even at therapeutical doses could cause WD. Benzos do suck unless you have control over them and use sparingly. Otherwise it is just bad news.

Which I want to do. The work great for anxiety and panic attacks. I just don't now how bad this little charade screwed up my tolerance and I'm worried that the next time one hits it's not gonna work.
