Hi - tl: I need sig. less benzo on days I dose Vyvanse as prescribed, 30-mg. Any idea why?
I was wondering if anyone else has, or can posit an explanation, why I need less clonazolam on days I take Vyvanse 30-40 mg in the AM?
I require about 1 - 2 mg clonazolam in the AM on days when I don't take my Vyvanse with a baking soda (1T in 6-8 oz H2O), and go back to bed, to awake 1.5 - 2 hours later - a slight bit sweaty but not feeling the need to reach for my C-lam, and that to me is a serious positive to Vyvanse.
On days I dose the Vyvanse as described, I usually end up taking about 0.5 mg C-lam, sometimes none until afternoon. I get up at 9AM regulaly, sleep well in general and ear decently, take Mag citrate 500 to 1000-mg day (that icnludes the mass of the citrate).
Days I dose Vyv + 0.5 mg C-Lam in the AM (both @ 7AM), I have no anxiety all day until about 10, sometimes 12 hours after initial dosing. So, it not only reduces need, it lengthens the duration of time b/w C-lam doses!
This has been a surprise, a great thing. I've cut my C-Lam from 5.5 mg/day to 4.8 rather quickly - three weeks - with only AM anxiousness or a bit of trouble getting to sleeep. As with most benz w/ds (typically) these w/d effects wane in a matter of days.
Sure, tapering a medium duration benzo I must take at least three times a day, I get squirly - if I go more than 10 hrs without C-Lam - except the days when I take a 30-mg dose of Vyvanse.
Please - I'm well aware.... Shit - forgot what I was going to write... (C-Lam causes memory issues at my dose, one of many reasons to get off it despite having an 8 year supply (assuming a 10% loss of material / potency).
Oh yeah... please no lectures on my C-Lam dependece, as you can read I'm lowering it and plan to move to Diclaz/diazepam as soon as an Ashton Taper will be do-able when my stash of diclaz and dizaepam is sufficint to cover my C-Lam dependency. I have a gram of diclaz and about 400 10-mg Valium. Haven't calculated if that's enough to do the taper at two week intervals of drops. I've tapered b/f so I'm going the slow route. I'll make that calc soon...
Bnz withdrawal has generally not been too difficult, but I anticipate this one to be rougher as my dose and duration of use (nearing the year mark) will make it more difficult. Trying to avoid serious kindling.
Thanks! I reaaly would like some good replies, I don't often get many replies to my posts, please if you have anything to concurr, different experiences or knowledge of what might be going on with reduced need for benzos while on Vyvanse (d-amphetamine extended release) chime in!
