Benzos INSTANT benzo crossover and in TROUBLE

[katy1954]

katy1954 - Thanks for providing more info about your medication and diagnosis history, that is helpful. I agree with Chromophobia. As he said in more detail, it seems likely that some of your problems are/were caused by the drugs you've been taking, some are caused by stopping/changing drugs, and some are due to other health conditions. I also think it's a good idea as he said to try to mention some of the possibilites Chromophobia brought up to your doctor. I also still really recommend that if your doctor is not giving you adequate help that you try to find a new doctor accepting patients, through the link I posted above.

You didn't answer about if you are still seeing your psychiatrist?

In answer to your question: Opioids include opiates and synthetic opiate-like drugs, which bind to opioid receptors in the brain and body. For example morphine is the most well-known opioid drug (others include codeine, hydrocodone, oxycodone, hydromorphone, and so on). Buprenorphine is an opioid, I believe you mentioned you were on the buprenorphine patch before?

Thank you I am back and more messed up than ever,my sisters corraled me into a hospital detox for 7days -
-for 3 days they gave me high dose of ativan like 6mgs(just dumped the clonazepam)
-then loaded me with 300mgs lyrica and stopped all ativan
-I went nuts after the 4thday had toleave,
-now left to stabalize on one benzo on my own
-and the nueropathy in my feet went over the top so I kept the 75mgs of lyrica 2 times a day on board.
-but am totally destabalized and drs said didnt care which benzo I took
-I am too old for this crap and my sisters abandoned me anyway
-I have been trying to stabalize on clonazepam at home but I cannot sleep well and my brain has no idea what its getting
-took ativan in am as well today and feel horrible
-drs gave me seroquel,trazodone,everything and still I went insane
-on discharge got no advice as to what ot take
-I am sorry to be a pain but I lost my family and my sanity in 7days and the hospt dr just said GO -
-I couldnt handle the detox
-now i need to stabalize and I am having a rough time.
-depressed,dissapointed everyone and alone,and back on LYRICA
-no sleep and disoriented.
-this is just too much
-and yes seeing same shrink but he gloated that I couldnt do it.
-I am trying to stabalize on clonazepam because the ativan gave me issues with interdose
-but clon makes me depressed and doesnt seem to
-I feel horrible about the whole thing-family doesnt understand benzo addiction
-and I am older ,got a kidney inf from hospital-so sick
-I have never felt so lost in my life
-I know you guys think i am a pain but have you got any ideas on how to stabalize?
-go back to just ativan? it doesnt seem to last long when I take it now
-or just go back to the mental ward?
thank you
K

I don't understand...clonazepam is much of a stronger and longer acting benzo...lorazepam (ativan) for me works best for panic attacks sublingually cos it just knocks you out for a short period of time. I really don't know why you don't enjoy rivotril as much.
