So I tried to post before but due to my noobness I'm unsure if it was received/seen by anyone. So please feel free move this to the correct forum as I cannot post in Other Drugs due to the prefix problem
Anyhow, to the point.
3-4 months on Klonazepam (4-2mg daily) and from another doc Xanax (1-2mg daily) and intermittent valium (10-20mg) & ativan (1mg).
I'm a British Professional working out in a conservative country with minimal knowledge of addiction & tapering (The Gulf, Middle East).
I got down to 1-1.5mg daily from K-pins ( little rough, this roughness led me to eat two boxes (0.5mg Xanax - 30mg over this weekend).
Pretty sure this will effect my taper, but to what extent?
PS I know it is stupid to binge on a taper, but a small albeit important note; I am a recovering addict 3 years clean of; heroin (IV 2g+ daily, coke 4-8g daily (IV, snorted, speed balled), crack 2-3 £10 a day, benzos (100mg+ a day valium and or 60-120mg a day Temazepam) and most of the time (when no H) I was consistently on 50-100mg a day sevredol (IS morphine) and 200mg (the big green ones) MS Contin a day (SR morphine).
Most of the time more but thats about the long and short of it.
Problem and weird thing is, I was never physically dependent on benzos, perhaps due to street quality (UK) or inconsistency due to my preference in Opiates and Coke...
I want to switch from my 1.5 (it's supoosed to be 1mg) a day K-pins taper to valium.
Any advice on my relapse binge and my switching to valium to taper? What about Lyrica, for the latter stages?
NOTE: I am a high position Commercial Cost Controller (construction, World Cup) working a high pressure high risk job.
Sure you can understand my concerns over being in a shit state while having to perform in this Industry.
Sorry about the long post lads (and ladies!), I just need your help and advice.
Thanks in advance, looking forward to your input.
Stay strong ??
