Need Help - What Meds From My "Arsenal", If Any, Can Help With Benzo WD?

Before I say anything, I must say I was on klonopin about 6 years ago. Took 2mgs once a night for 8 months straight. One day I just stopped seeing my doctor and what's weird I don't remember going through any withdrawals at all (seriously, I don't even remember losing sleep over it).

Long story short, I was off benzos for 4 years, then started taking 1.5mg xanax and 7.5mg valium a day. I've been on this dose for about 1 1/2 years now.

This past week I dropped straight to 1mg xanax and roughly 3.5-4mg of valium. I couldn't sleep the first night, was a bit dizzy & anxious but quickly adjusted. I'm also on suboxone and trazadone so I think thats helping (dr prescribes sub and traz, not the X&V).

This is what I have left -

20 - 5mg, valium
48 - 1mg, xanax

I'm going to run out of valium first, probably in 3-4 weeks.
Xanax I will have for about 6-8 weeks.

My question is this. I have additional meds around the house and I'm curious if any can help?

20 soma (350mg)
21 zyprexa (2.5mg)
3 gms of ketamine
2 gms of MDMA
lots of high grade weed
unlimited trazadone
unlimited suboxone


Then some random BP medicines

inderal
atenolol
cozaar
dyazide

In a few days I plan on doing another "half jump". Since I have unlimited access to trazadone and suboxone, I figure I can raise both to counter any anxiety or sleep problems.
My plan is to taper down to less than 2.5mg of valium within the next 3 weeks and stop.

Then ride it out on xanax (which I know is not ideal but I have more xanax than valium), drop down to less than .25mg then stop roughly 6 weeks from now.

Does this sound safe? And can soma, zyprexa or any of the other meds I have help reduce the risk of seizures? I don't personally give a shit about anxiety or insomnia. Since I'm on a LOW dose of both sub and traz, if I double/triple/quadruple my doses it will help a lot. And I know zyprexa can also help with sleep. I'm just concerned about seizures since I live alone and work from home.

Any advice you folks have I would greatly appreciate it!

If you can then try and find some extra Valium from somewhere to taper with. Check Benzo.org.uk and also benzobuddies. Both full of good information.

I wish you all the look in the world.
 
nice collection ...
some of those might mask some symptoms but unfortunately you just need a benzo taper. Only benzos fix benzo addiction, and a sloooow steady taper.
Opiates have helped me but I could still feel my skin burning underneath my high. gross huh?
 
I haven't had the privilege of having much experience with k since it is nearly impossible to find, but MXE helps a hell of a lot with opiate/sub withdrawl and I would assume the k would make benzo withdrawl a breeze. That and the somas/subs (great combo) would relax the hell out of you so I would think you should be good for anything, I personally wouldn't think the MDMA would be any good while going through the anxiety of benzo withdrawl, but maybe it's worth a shot if you're depressed. Even without the K, I think what you have there should be able to get you through the worst of it, can't go wrong with weed and if you really need it you have traz for sleep (i don't personally like traz but it probably would help if the soma's don't knock you out).
I wish I had a stash like that for going through any w/d's, you shouldn't even be worried, just try and taper down using the weed, subs and traz for any discomfort before you run out and make sure you save your stash for last.

Oh and to address the seizures... I have a seizure disorder and I have found that weed, subs, somas, and MXE help me not have seizures when I don't have access to benzos (which my doctor refuses to prescribe) so I wouldn't worry about that especially if you taper to a low dose. I'm not sure if normal seizures would be similar to ones caused by benzo withdrawal since I have never gone through it, but I would assume so.
