Pretty self explanitory; I want to join the Navy but am currently ineligibility because of my anxiety/insomnia medication. I was told that I need 6 months off with no psychiatic counseling/monitoring. I want to enlist in 7 months if possible, leaving me with a month to taper off 5-8 mg of clonazepam and 1050 mg of Carisiprodal. I need to do this in order to fix my life. Please help with tapering suggestions, non-drug alternatives, and information about extended half-life benzos to switch to during my rapid taper.
If anyone could help I would be greatly greatly indebted and thankful.
 
Chlordiazepoxide or Clorazepate would be among the best options for the [short term] taper. Following discontinuation, eat a healthy diet and exercise. And if you need it, try a GABA supplement. Also, herbal remedies such as Valerian and Kava can be helpful for any persisting acute anxiety. You might also try meditation; I've found it can really be a useful technique for relaxation/anxiety relief.
 
So Diazepam would not be ideal? That seems to be the consus treatment for benI tapering as far as I can tell, but it's never been effective in equivalent doses.
Yes meditation and excercise are already on the agenda, you can't be a search and rescue swimmer or combat medic without the mental and physical fortitude. Thanks for the valerian and kava suggestion, that had never occured to me. One of my greatest fears other than siezure and severe withdraw are my eligibility. If anyone with a knowledge of medical waivers or military enlistment could contribute it would be awesome. I need to know the probabilty of actually withdrawing and succesfully being accepted in the the navy.
 
lbh its never going to be easy tapering from that much in that short of a time, the most u can probably do is 1mg a week and then CT it from then on but its gonna feel shitty
just gotta eat very healthy (there are threads on this), also books/video games are a good way to pass the time (providing its not too hellish)
