WoW that is too much. at least to me it seems like it. my doc also has swim on sub films.. 8mgs once a day. but not taking it that much. i cut one 8mg film in 4 pieces and dose accordingly. usually just one slice a morning. it keeps the w/d's away and wears off awfully fast tho to where i can slip if i wanted to the same day(usually by night) and get a major buzz. when missing one dose all bets are off and cravings come back and w/d in full force. everyone is different though. I have a extremely fast metabolism. Im about to be 30, still can pass for a high school student. 5'11" 150lbs. its hereditary though. my gpa is 89 years old and looks 50.. not a grey hair on his head. still the same physic as when i was little. he his also 5'11 and around 150. probably weighs less now.. But I can eat 4 huge meals a day. be it good healthy food or junk crap fast food and no weight gain. drugs have always affected me differently then others as well. for my smaller size one would think i would naturally be a lightweight. but its the opposite. I need a truckload of meds to get "high". alcohol again is weird, i cannot seem to get drunk without binge drinking. Hard liquor is like water to me. no burn. one, two, three shots of it is like nothing. hence why i do not drink. it seems pointless. no matter if its vodka, tequila, whisky, beer, wine.. i just don't feel it like others. Its hard to explain. I have been on benzo's since 19 and maybe thats why i cannot feel drunk. currently im up to 2mg of alprazolam 5x a day. you should see the shock on peoples faces when i tell them what my shrink has me on. I get hassled at my pharmacy every month it seems. they dont seem to like that i get 300mgs of xanax a month. they call the doctor every time i get a new script which he writes for 5 refills every time. and god forbid if i go to call a refill in more than 2 days previous to the date of the month before...
im rambling now. im also scripted adderall 30mgs 1time a day. but i do not take that shit everyday kuz it just curbs my appetite and makes me restless at night, even though i take it in the morning. it seems to never leave my system fast enough. but i do take it on days i have to do shit, like shopping, school, or anything that requires motivation. it does help there. and also helps with my anxiety, maybe too well.. ill talk to people i dont know for too long and tell them too much. and yes i took it this morning. hence this overpost.
I'm sorry to hear you're in so much discomfort.
