Hi
so I have a friend who has been taking clonazepam for her anxiety for over a year now. She started taking one pill a day and then got bumped up to three .5mg pills a day. After time she has developed a tolerance and now needs to take 6 pills a day. This is tough however because her doctor only prescribes her enough for 3 a day. Without them she gets terrible withdrawal symptoms sigh as vertigo and headaches as well as back pain. I don't know what to do because she depends on them so much and won't tell her doctor but can't do with out them. Currently she tries to take three a day but some days she takes 6 and other days takes 1 to make up for the taking to much the previous day. I really don't know what to do or how she can get off of them because her anxiety. Please help me out with some advice!
 
Well I am rxd xanax 60 1mg a month and valium 10mg 60 a.month be careful if she or he or.you are abusing them dont do it on a daily basis and if the person truly is taking them for medical reason then person needs to talk to the doctor tell them its not strong enough it just does not seem to work anymore im starting to feel the need to take more benzo addiction is life threatening
 
And truly truly no matter you feel you need more only take the dailly amount prescribed otherwise that tolerance will continue to build up and you will be fucked im not going to lie I meen I do have anxiety issues but not nearly that bad for the amount im prescribed so I do abuse them just not on a daily basis so if thats what person is doing just be careful pleasenor go see psychiatrist they are more in the field in mental help and would help with anxiety panick attack and mental issues alot more then a family doctor
 
^exactly if she is using them for a legitimate medical condition you wouldnt do that what shes doing is abusing them ny not following the instructions
 
This is a situation I can relate too. I have my own opinions about benzos....but klonopin in general is scary!! Make sure she does a taper first off. I was taking doses close to ur friend and when my script was shut off I suffered though a seizure and literally a month + of hell. Extreme disassociation nausea pain. And once I came off of it I realize what a complete daze I was in. I was horrified and embarrassed by many things I had done. Please make sure ur friend does a safe a medically supervised taper. Most responsible Dr will not let u go cold turkey off benzos.
 
She's afraid that if she tells her doctor he will put her in rehab or something because her tolerance keeps building and her withdrawal is getting worse. Plus she is scared she can't do without the drugs and so she doesn't want to taper off
 
she miight not wanna taper off but what she really doesnt want is to run out/get cut off/lose script or some other bs and have to deal with probably the worst withdrawal symptoms of any class of drug. that dose is either gonna keep goin up or have to start comin down. might as well do it now
