Nice to hear another person in my boat managed to wean off that kinda benzo use. I was scripted 120mg diaz, 12mg alpraz and 2mg flunitraz daily but often dosed up to 30mg daily. - Of Alpraz that is.
I managed the 10 day detox, but they wouldn't accept me into rehab and I got shifted into general psych and then I was put in involuntary... Fuck the medical system...
Took me about 3 months of clonazepam and lyrica to taper off.
Hehe I think this often when I try to remember what happened for the last 2-3 years of my life...
I remember being 18, then I woke up one day and I was 21. Weird.
I can relate to this. I started on Clonazepam, ended up on 15mg+ a day, then moved on to Xanax, anywhere from 30-60mg a day. I went into detox and it was a living fucking nightmare. I can't describe the pain/nausea/discomfort i felt. If anyone has seen Trainspotting where he gets locked in the room to rapidly detox thats what i looked like, thrashing around the bed in complete and utter despair.
I was put on 16 valium a day to taper off and that took me 4 months until i was benzo free. I still get Xanax for festivals or big nights, but im extremely careful now how i use them. How doctors can give them out so easily is a joke, all the therapists at the clinic i went to said the patients they dealt with coming off Benzo's (especially Xanax) were far worse than meth or Heroin.
I've got myself off a meth addiction quite easily, but when i tried with Xanax i had no chance. If anyone reading this can relate, cut your dosage now before its too late.
