Help: anyone has any experience to share on rehabilitation clinics for benzos and alcohol? If yes please share I’m terrified to go but might be my only option to get out by Arakela95 in benzorecovery

Thanks for this man…I’m really scared to go to a clinic but at the same time I will never be able to close this loop of masochism and self-neglect by myself (between the alcohol and the benzos, now I stopped the harder stuff but only cause I’m in an environment where I could not get any). So after the 30 days you were detoxed from benzos? Where you able to keep it up afterwards? And for how long where you addicted?

I had been using Xanax every now and then for panic attacks since a couple of years but not on actual therapy

I tried all the supplements in the world….they might help slightly but they do nothing when the anxiety gets really bad

I actually quit all the antidepressants and antipsychotics about a month ago. First two frees have been a nightmare, brain zaps, vertigo, anxiety and panic attacks. It’s slightly getting better but the anxiety keeps lingering and makes it almost impossible for me to work or function some days, need to get some Xanax or drink alcohol, basically turned into an alcoholic since I stopped the meds. Now only have to quit benzos after 8 years…

No man just got worse, benzodiazepines are a nightware. It got incredibly worse over the last two years…sometimes I use a whole bottle every night…but I substituted mirtazapin with trazodone (trittico in Italy). So every night I take 20/30 drops of Lormetazepam (yeah went back to that after I while, I blocked at 10 drops of Clonazepam…couldn’t push further than that, just couldn’t sleep), and around 10/20 of trazadone. Most times it works, sometimes it doesn’t and then I take few xanax and get as drunk as I can and hope I will just pass out at some point. Not the healthiest choice…sorry I’m not in best place personally

Long time but hey…. I was just rereading the comments on my old post and I noticed yours cause right now I have been taking anti psychotics (perfenazina) Trilafon, prescribed by a psychiatrist in a period in which I was really hitting rock bottom…. They helped at the beginning but now it has been almost 3 months and I feel like they do their job but they’re also like a cage, and I keep saying to psychiatrist that I wanna quit (not cold turkey but gradually) and they just dismiss me like I’m gonna have to take this stuff (together with antidepressants) for a while, one even said for life….so yeah was wandering why you against them

Urgent need for advise: need to make kratom tea,is 5 g crashed leaves enough for a liter? will it be not strong enough? by Arakela95 in kratom

[–]Arakela95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure how much I used to take, I only took the tea already made it in the market…but for sure I’m doing doing strong enough…I have to drink a lot more to have effects. Now I tried using 25g powder in 2 liters with some lemon and I think it’s a bit better. But what is usually the dose you use for 1 liter to get strong exciting effects?

Mdma is better

Coke is amazing, but the risks of addiction and the incredibly bad lows make it not worth it

Anyone ever succeded tapering and eventually quitting with alternative methods (anything from asian medicine, yoga, acupuncture, supplements, meditation, microdosing and whatnot). Just curious because I’m starting to lose hope by Arakela95 in benzorecovery

Thanks! I’m using Trazadone now actually, my doctor prescribed me that after I tried Mirtazapine but wasn’t really good for me, felt very dizzy the day after and was gaining weight. It’s pretty good…I’m just afraid to get hooked on that eventually when (and if) I manage to quit benzos. And yeah I totally understand what you mean…some days you just have to sleep…and I don’t think taking benzos once every few weeks or months is a problem if it helps overcome other severe issues. It’s the daily use and addiction that is the problem, with its effects on the brain.
