I have been taking Clomethiazole for 28 days at 3500-4000mg per day as the only replacement for my benzo habit because I could not acquire more benzos. It worked wonderfully for that but I can't get more of either so I am really in a tough spot. I've tried going to hospital, walk in clinic to get benzos and have striked out each time only getting 4 pills of Lorazepam (1mg). My etizolam habit was 20mg per day up until a month ago when I started the Clomethiazole to replace it.
I did a quick taper over about 7 days, and reduced to about 400mg Clomethiazole for the first 3 days, then 100mg for 2 days, then about 80mg for he last 2 days.
I have been on benzos from age 18-29 at high level (16mg lorazepam scripted) until a dr cut me off for suffering a nervous breakdown after a massive problem with my gf and ending up on the street!!!! She assumed it was benzo wd when I wasn't even off of them! So I found Etizolam on my own after 6 months of hell and protracted WD....
I cannot tell if I'm in protracted wd from benzos because I've been on Etizolam for the last year at high levels 20mg/day and only stopped 29 days ago after switching to clomethiazole....
I have a pill of ativan I can take for the next 3 days but I know it won't help that much with Clomethiazole WD and to be honest I've gone into massive psychotic reactions assaulting cops and suffering seizures etc when I stopped Etizolam before...I'm quit worried and have no idea what I should be looking out for until it's serious enough I go to a hospital...
I'm basically just feeling agitated, restless, nervous, anxious...Muscle twitches (i get those without benzos), mouth clamping (a twitch where my mouth snaps shut then opens quickly, basically a mouth twitch) I also get those in benzo wd, even months later...
I'm not having tremors in my hands or anything, I am feeling pretty crappy psychologically and am mostly worried about seizures, hostility, psychotic reactions to lack of barbs/benzos. I don't want to wake up in the psych ward strapped to the bed being told I assaulted police again. I do not want my gf to watch me have another seizure and break my teeth out of my mouth again....I also don't want to be labeled an "i told you so" from that a-hole dr who cut me off of lorazepam in the first place causing me to seek stuff elsewhere. I don't want to prove her case and be labeled my entire life because I CANNOT function without benzos....It just isn't something I'm willing to do due to the major anxiety, hostility, agitation I will feel for 6+ months. I need to be able to work, be calm, be able to be nice to my girlfriend not yell at her..not fight with her....
Please tell me what I should look out for and when I should consider going to the emergency room.....Did I taper the clomethiazole at a rate decent enough not to WD from it? I've never had WD from clomethiazole before even after 14-15 days at 4000-5000mg per day.
Thank you so much for your help, I am grateful for it.....
