So I abused clonazolam, alprazolam and etizolam mainly for two years. Had a few half arsed attempts at abstinence which lasted a week or two a most before I finally did a rapid taper with diclazepam. Got the expected acute withdrawal, but the parasthesia and fasciculations remained. I quit everything and went clean living for two years, no drugs, no alcohol, no supplements, and a very strict almost obsessive diet that avoided aggrivating my PAWS symptoms. After two years I caved and went on amitryptaline which pretty much cleared up my unpleasant nerve sensations.
I have essentially came to the conclusion that some of the nerves in my peripheral nervous system became so used to being sedated that their baseline threshold for excitability was lowered and when I tapered off they remained hyperexcitable for some reason. I don't have any psychological symptoms of PAWS, I had some in acute withdrawal but they disipated afterwards.
I will never drink alcohol again, I drink heineken zeros now no problem but I can't even tolerate 0.5% abv. I reintroduced cannabis with no adverse effects and it helped a little with some other sports related injury pain so I kept using it. I gave kratom a try with no issue but then when I tried codeine it aggrivated my PAWS. I tried ketamine it was fine maybe some slight weirdness of nerves on the comedown which could be accounted for by the rebound glutamate. Did some dxm and dph which was mostly fine two with some weirdness on comedown same as the ketamine.
I have essentially barred myself from doing any stimulants other than extended release caffeine (newcaff), and no sedatives either. I think most opoids would aggrivate my PAWS considering I couldn't tolerate codeine even in small doses, but for some reason kratom was fine. I want more kratom but my country has banned it and I saw a seizure in the news of 2 kg which the idiots evaluated to be worth 60k in street value, so I might go for the alternative like Mytrogyna Javinica and Hirsuta. I am open to most dissasosiatives and psychedics.
Is there anyone out there that has had a similar experience and can tell me which substances they have been able to tolerate? Better yet is there anything that you have found beneficial for your PAWS?
