Hello all, there's some background here:
3-4 years alprazolam prescripted 2-3 mg/day
middling to strong alcohol use throughout (4-6 units per day?)
( I should say at this point I quit alcohol for up to a year at a time without issue, alprazolam helped in the extreme, though the alcohol free period didn'tlast)
switched by psycho-doc to clonazepam 2 mg per day 1-2 years
Never felt/got physically addicted to either benzo
I felt major anxiety needs not met by clonazepam...........damn, discovered etizolam, and alcohol came back woo hooo......
I began to use etizolam/alcohol to alleviate anxiety symptoms (I.E. to feel like a"normal human being")
Ended up with a 6-8 mg/day etizolam habit w/4-6 units booze..........began to experience classic "intra-dose withdrawls" (ex IV H user kicked 3 times, it felt quite familiar w/o the gastrointestinal nightmare.)
at this time my routine was 2 mg etiz morning, 2-4 etiz mid-day, 600mg phenibut, always at 4pm, several cocktails and 2-4 mg etiz at night. Damn I slept well.....
Knew it could never last, and began an exit strategy. I had piles of clonazepam for a taper. I began to follow ashton xanax chart subbing 1 mg clonaz, for 10 mg diaz and 2 mg clonaz for 20 mg diaz.
My problem is I feel I'm getting in deeper rather than out! Where am I going wrong? I'm ready to trim these clonaz down to crumbs but I feel more addicted than before.......any help from someone with experience would be much appreciated. when crippling anxiety hits at around 4pm.....I still use booze. NOTHING else helps :/ (I know booze is a nighmare fix) Ciao and peace to all
