my come down nightmare and using xanax. NEED HELP HERE.....

Speak for yourself, 100mg is enough to get a buzz.. .5 in a night is a decent amount

.5 is a lunacy amount. It was approx .5 that got him where he is now.

At that kind of dose its debatable how much beyond 300mg or so your really gonna feel. The brain only has so much serotonin to give.

Its certainly in the realms of dangerous, neurotoxic and totally foolish.
 
Aight so just posting back in. I've realized when I made this post my time one was all off. Right now I'm at about 8 weeks. The terrible anxiety has phased off a bit. But the part that I find most disturbing is the fact that the things I once got so excited over Dont stimulate me anymore. I literally can't get an excited happy feeling about things anymore. Anyone can explain this? Its not like depression because there are a few things I love doing and used to get so happy for regardless of my feelings. I just have a hard time seeing my excitability just come back so easily. Is it really a chemical thing that's taking this long to restore. I can't image just my anxiety is the answer. Because I remember when my anxiety was its worse(week 1) I could still get excited over music.I would use music to distract me. Now I Dont feel it. Even my sex drive went. Odd thing. There have been times I felt like I should have cried and that ball in my throat feeling didn't exist. If I'm depressed wouldt sadness and crying come so easy? Does the serotonin or what ever network get worse as a few weeks go on? Or is my additional anxiety keep pushing away other feelings. Its just the weirdest thing in the world to just not feel emotions when I would get sooo happy over the smallest things. Never had depression or anxiety issues in the past
 
I going through the same comedown right now, at about 11 weeks. The anxiety/depression comes and goes but seems to be much better than before, I get the odd dr/dp but its rare and I can deal with it.

I feel almost back to normal other than the head pressure/tingling/headaches. Has anyone else felt this type of pain, and has been the main part of their comedown? This has been the worst part of the comedown, and if this pain subsides (which it has a few times for a short period of time), I would feel great.

Do you guys feel this is anxiety related, or have any tips to deal with this as painkillers do absolutely nothing, and I hate taking pills. Your help is greatly appreciated!
 
They gave me gabapentin for sleep. Doesn't seem to be helping though.
 
Swim just took 40mg of Percocet and 3.5 mg of Xanax with about I would say a gram of Molly. I also had a few drinks that day. I do not remember a damn thing I drove to pick up my wife and I guess I was talking crazy with her. When I drove home I missed my turn and went and drove to on coming traffic at this time my wife slap the shit out of me and I have her the wheel. This is going to be something she will never forget. And all of which I wrote is what she told me because I don't remember a damn thing . So scary I could have killed someone or myself. Do not mess with Xanax it will turn you into a zombie.

id rather go and do some strenuous exercise instead of ingesting more drugs just to sleep. who knows getting out from behind the computer to get some sun and fresh air might help distract you from your self imposed living hell. :)

decent advice, ridiculously condescending tone...

let's not make too many assumptions about people and the extent to which they are creating their own nightmares. you are not a professional in any sense of the word and shouldn't make judgements based on a few posts about adverse reactions. If you want someone to follow your advice, deliver it in a way that will ENCOURAGE them to follow it. If you really feel the need to keep reminding people that they are ALL doing this to themselves, why not start a new post or use the new megathread so you can address everyone in this situation. If you make your point politely, who knows, some good discussion may just ensue :)

anyway, I agree that drugs should be a last resort and never a long term solution. if you have done everything you can to improve sleep without involving drugs, then it may be an idea to temporarily use a sleep drug to get some much needed rest during recovery (which will likely improve/ relieve symptoms in itself).
 
Ive tried working out. it does not help me stay asleep.
 
The worst thing for not sleeping is thinking about not sleeping. I ve had some mild bouts of insomnia.....not full on insomnia but nights with only an hour or two sleep and it soon takes its toll.


I found a couple of self hypnosis tracks on a very big torrent site (no prize for guessing which site).

The Paul Mckenna one worked a bit. It has definitely helped long term and is worth a go. I know how bad not sleeping is. Its torture. As soon as bed time arrives you start thinking about sleeping, when in actual fact....people who sleep soundly dont actually think about sleeping....they just do!

you might find a self hypnosis tracks by a person who has a the same/similar accent will be better. I tried to listen to an australian one and i just found his voice irritating as fuck.


saying all that I still wake every night and struggle to get back to sleep....its daylight here at about 03:45 at the moment which does not help.

Keep your chin up <3
 
Pmz - dude, seriously consider seeing a therapist. I know that therapy can be expensive and there is a bit of a stigma against it. However, for me, it was worth every dollar I spent.

You sound like a tough dude but I can tell you are really struggling. Get some help, I promise it will put you on the path towards feeling better.

By far the most beneficial thing I did for my recovery was getting CBT and talking it out with an expert.
 
Your right man, I plan on seeing someone. Ive always thought I was a tough person, never though have I felt so weak and thats what I am struggling the most with. The fact that I cant feel my natural excitement for everything is what is freaking me out the most.

Not sure if I posted this yet, but I might be exploring this program in Utah, http://adults.snwp.com/ Ive always been in love with the outdoors and living out there for 2 months might bring my old self back. Plus it will force me to be away from the computer and my 4 walls at home. Might be the kick in the ass I need.
