Well I've decided to kick the booze, the only drug I really have an issue with, as my quality of life has pretty much gone down the tubes. I'm prescribed klonopin, 2mg daily... now, before, when I would drink almost every night (binge), in the mornings to go to work I would have to take 1-1.5mg just to take away the morning anxiety, shakiness. The klonopin was barely effective throughout the day. These past few weeks I've cut down on the alcohol, limiting the amount I drank on nights before work (but still binging on weekends).... but tonight, I'm going sober. Plus, I know I'm gonna have to wean off the kpins soon (been on them about a year), and there won't be a happy ending with that if I'm getting trashed at night.
But I guess what I'm wondering is, now that alcohol will be out of my system for the most part, could my klonopin be more effective in stabilizing my anxiety? I guess only time will tell, but any experiences or feedback is useful.
Plus, I'm used to drinking right now, being sober.... I'm bored. It helps to gain knowledge on forums like these, especially with those who know what I'm going through.
Agh... alcohol, so many things/people I've lost just for a temporary escape on life.
Going sober, on 4/20
