Hi.
I stopped taking benzos about month ago. I tapered my dose gradually and didn’t experience any real withdrawal symptoms.
I cant sleep more then 4 hours with 8mg of tizanadine. I am very tired but my stomach is keeping me awake. Without any painkillers I cant sleep at all. My doctor knows this and she has prescribed me lots of meds for pain and sleeping. Problem is that I started tapering my meds about 8 months ago and I have only small amount of tramadol still in use.
I feel like it would be giving up if I were to take for example benzos or opiods.
I was addicted to opioids or at least dependant. I had such a huge amount of meds prescribed that I didn’t have to take more then prescribed or get more from streets.
There seems to be no cure for my problems. But I am not losing hope and even if there is no cure I still want to be free from drug addiction.
Should I be happy about the few hours I can sleep? There was a time that I couldn’t sleep for weeks and it almost made me crazy. There seems to be no mental problems from not sleeping well but I am so tired.
I could take zolpidem as I wake up but I am afraid I still have some tolerance issues and I would have to take huge dose. Same goes with temazepam.
What would you do? I think that I won't take anything but I still want to think as I would have something to ease the pain...
Must add that I am aware of the possibility that this might just be minor withdrawal symptom from benzos. I am not afraid of becoming addicted to benzos. I have had my fair share of benzos but at the time I started those I had very bad anxiety which I somewhat got over. Otherwise benzos just dulls my emotions and I don’t like that.
Are there other weed smokers who tapered benzos? I smoked my whole taper and did not experience anxiety at all. Now I feel that even huge dabs don’t feel as it used to. I have now smoked a lot less but still seem to have a huge tolerance.
Any kind words would really be appreciated.
