Ok, I was a chronic weed smoker for 8+ years. I quit smoking about 2 months ago. I know smoking Cannabis gives you the 'munchies'...
It was very hard for me to quit smoking, for minor cannabis w/d symptoms that I couldn't live with that included, insomnia (couldn't sleep), loss of appetite (Couldn't eat), minor aches and pain, moderate anxiety and depression. Smoking for that long DID give me a BAD withdrawal as I mentioned.
If I cant eat or sleep, how would I live?...
When I got addicted to BENZO's, about 4 months before I quit smoking. I was seeing that I didn't need weed while I was on Benzo's.
I'm also on 80mg of Methadone daily. But I guess the Methadone wasn't enough to mask BOTH hardcore OPIATE W/D and Cannabis W/D. Methadone saved my life from opiates, to sum up the methadone.
As I kept taking Benzos with my methadone everyday, I had less and less desire to smoke weed as I wanted to quit smoking anyways.
Ok, like I stated above, its been 2 months now without smoking.
Now, I'm currently tapering off of Benzo's. I was abusing Xanax and Valium for 6+ months. I was taking Xanax way more than the Valium, I actually went on to Valium to try and taper myself off of benzos. Boy was that a wreck, my tolerance went sky high after I used Valium. Seperately, I would use 8-10mg of Xanax daily, or 100mg of Valium Daily. Together, I would use 4mg of Xanax, and 50-60mg of Valium, daily. So I obviously needed help.
I made an appt. with my Doctor and told him what was going on. He said boy, those are high doses. He RX'd me KLONOPIN 1mg Pills, and 0.5mg pills. I got the generic version, so it's Clonazepam.
He told me Clonazepam and Xanax are equivalent in strength. But the Clonazepam has a much longer half life. Which he's 100% spot on.
He told me start on 7.5mg of Clonazepam weekly, and go down 1/2mg every week.
I've been doing just that.
But back on topic. Methadone and Clonazepam seem to go amazing together. I mean, amazing like, holy shit I feel AMAZING type of amazing. lol
But the problem is, I was gaining weight on my methadone alone, because I would eat lots of sweets, cookies, candy bars, cakes, donutes, etc.
Now that I have Clonazepam on top of that, I've been eating 2x the sweets, and gained A LOT more LB's.
Before I started methadone. I was a skinny little boy weighing at 150LB's. After a year on 'done, I got up to 190LB's. After another 6 months, I went up to 197LB's.
I've been taking Clonazepam for lets say 2 months now, and I'm gaining A LOT more weight....from 197LB's to 216LB's in less than 2 months!!!!!!!!!!!
and this is WITHOUT weed.
Does this happen to a lot of you guys, or is it rare, or is it common, or whats going on. I'm a guy, and I look like im fucking PREGNANT (LMAO)...or we can call it an ugly BEER BELLY.
I can't STOP taking my MEDS. Because if I DO, I'll go into SEVERE opiate/benzo w/d and possibly DIE.
Any suggestions from you BL's?
Anything will be helpful,
thank you very much,
