I appreciate the sentiment, friend.I can relate to the impending catastrophic doom anxiety, I wish I could say something that would help but anxiety has a way to attach itself to something else.
I'm currently in a Benzo taper I've gone from 60mg diazepam to 40mg and currently holding.
I feel like I need a little pick me up, after being sedated for so long. I can handle coffee no problem which is nice. I guess I'm looking for a substance that's not overly stimulating, but quite euphoric it's been years since I felt serotonin![]()
As we know, anxiety is a bitch, but benzos can be a powerful, effective tool. Having an addictive personality made it a challenge for many years regulating my benzo use (prescribed), and to a much lesser extent it still is to this day. That being said, all things considered, I am in a better, healthier place now than I have been in many years (took an 8 year hiatus from daily benzo use with the exception of the occaional bout of etizolam use) and I have xanax to thank for that. The extended release formula is a fantastic medication for me, and I never even knew it existed until I started taking it less than a year ago.
For me, I enjoy the euphoria and parodoxical stimulation and sedation that OPMS black gives me. Adding in coffee obviously brings on the stimulant aspect more and I find it enjoyable. Add in cannabis distillate and nicotine, and for me that's sufficient, these days.
