This is my first thread/post on this site, and I?m sure his has been discussed before, but please bear with me.
Quick history- I?ve been addicted to subs (bupe) for approximately a year (anywhere from 4-6 8mg strips per week). Daily, I would take anywhere from 2 to 8mg (it all just depended how much I had to get me through the week). I was never prescribed, but had a dealer. My last doses were about 2mg per day for 2-3 days before I decided to quit cold turkey. I?m now on day 7 of detox. My physical withdrawal symptoms were probably worst days 2-4, but I feel decent today. I?ve been exercising twice daily since day 3 (was very difficult to drag myself to do this at first) and started making fruit/veggie smoothies and taking amino acids and a multivitamin each day. I?ve also been pounding water and was able to start eating at day 3.
Anyway. at day 2 of detox, I came upon 10 1mg clonazepam from a buddy. I?ve read that they really help with the insomnia associated with opiate withdrawal. I?ve taken clonazepam rarely in the past and didn?t really care for them, but I have been taking a 1mg pill each night for the past 4 or 5 days just so I can get past the RLS/insomnia and get at least 4-5 hours of sleep. I?ll tell you, it?s really helping. Side note: I don?t take them AT ALL during the day. This is where I become concerned. How long do you think I can take this nightly dose of clonazepam before I become dependent on it? I?ve read in some places on the internet you shouldn?t go more than a week or 2 on them, other places have said only a few days. I just don?t want to get addicted to benzos. I?ve read about the absolute HELL that is benzo withdrawal. They are helping me sleep though, so it?s REALLY helping me through withdrawal. Any advice would be appreciated!
