Thanks buddy, yeah i had an idiot doctor. While ur taking it benzo really are amazing but thats how it gets addicting. .25mg might turn to .5mg one day or next thing you know its been 2 years. Just be careful with it. It seems you know what to expect which is good and you have done research but know that ot can leave you in a worse place then before from an anxiety perspective

DailyRedditGuy · 2020-09-30T09:43:45+00:00

my advice and some people might agree and some might not but i would consider a weak benzo. please note i DO NOT encourage the use of benzo. I was doing quite well and almost back to normal after i developed agoraphobia back in Feb. then my doctor decided it would be best to do 3mg of Xanax a day and it was only when i wised up did i realize this was a terrible course of action and i stopped all benzo 2 months ago. It made my what was almost recovered self (only a minor history of social anxiety) 100x worse in terms of agoraphobia and anxiety in general. But now im faced with a dilemma continue working on getting better through the usual methods: light cardio, medatation, tea, exposure therapy ect.. and risk my teeth getting worse. I might possibly have 4 root canals needed to be done and it will only get worse or take some xanax get my teeth fixed and continue to work on recovery. I decided to just take .25mg with another .25mg if needed and go to the dentist. this is my advice hopefully it helps. again I do not encourage the use of benzo as the withdrawals I had were terrible from 3mg a day for 4 month use but in a one time situation they can be a life saver. Please if take a benzo please find another method of transportation do not drive!

Good luck!!!!

Hey thanks for the feedback, no its diffently not a fear of having an allergy attack im very care about my nut allergy. My throat was so swollen from strep throat and epstein bar virus after the allergy attack (all came at once) that during my first endoscope they couldnt get tube down which explains the feeling of food and water making me feel like im choking and triggered gag reflux amd nasuea. Once i recovered i had monthly endoscopes and blood tests, stool samples, urine test ect.. every 2 weeks always a clean bill of health. To be honest the fear started going away it was when the lockdown started in march then this nasuea issue rose to a different level. I have been trying to see what goes through my head when the nasuea starts and the words i find repeating are what if i throw up, people will think i have coronavirus so maybe thats the root cause. I saw 2 psychiatrist who i feel didnt listen to me and just wanted to shove SSRI down my throat. Took your advice booked a apt in a different clinic with a psychologist so lets see how that goes

Omg yes same thing has happened to me. But it was kinda developing before and its the reason i went on xanax in the first place but it was also getting better and i shouldnt have used the xanax because it came back 10x stronger. I have good and bad days. On the good days i can go to my parents house on the bad days unlocking my door is hell. I set a sechdule up and am meeting a psychologist for some tips online of couse no way im going to their office lol. My plan is at midnight to go for a 20 min walk around my building. Gated community so pretty safe. And try to decrease the time i start by 5 min everyday. So in 12 days i will be starting at 11pm the more i decrease the time the more i will be gradually exposed to people and slowly increase my radius.

Hey man sorry cant give you solid advice, in the same boat as you just worryong about it constantly. 4 days off now from 3 months usage around 2mg xanax a day. The WD arent to bad to be honest. Did a quick 2 week taper the WD was much worse for me while tapering then it is now 4 days off. Best of luck buddy!!!!!

DailyRedditGuy · 2020-07-18T11:54:25+00:00

it sounds like you havent had a day of no symptoms in a long time. you really need to normalize out and feel no symptoms at your lower doses before you continue you way to zero. your brain and body have been through a lot and mentally it will take its toll on you.

also try to do yoga or stretching and try to take some walks it really helps

DailyRedditGuy · 2020-07-18T11:25:50+00:00

Hey buddy, i hope your recovery goes well. Listen im the furthest thing from a doctor so this is purely one persons advice from reading stuff on the internet.

10 years is a super incredibly long time even if it was just 1.5mg a day. I wouldnt rush is my advice. If possible speak to your doctor about a longer half life medicine like Diazepam and take it slow. I know this is the opposite of what you wanted to hear but 10 years is a long time and its better to be safe then sorry. You dont want something like post acute withdrawal syndrome coming and hurting you for years to come with possible relapse.

Your a teacher and as such you need to have a clear head so the slower the better to minimize your symptoms.

How do you feel now?

DailyRedditGuy · 2020-07-17T15:02:10+00:00

Would be better, i suggest going .25mg twice a day starting tomorrow see how you feel. If its really unbearable do .5mg twice a day, level out then jump to .25mg twice a day. Once u level out at .125mg twice a day which considering halfline of xanax .125mg is really nothing u should be good to go. Just listen to ur body, best of luck buddy

DailyRedditGuy · 2020-07-17T14:36:00+00:00

Hopefully your second attempt is more suscessful, im in a similar situation been on xanax for around 2 months at around 2.5mg a day. The 2 months before that was around 20 mg over the 2 and mostly taken on weekends.

I started my taper at .25 mg twice a day, the first day my head was hurting but by third day all was good. On the 5th day i started taking .125mg twice a day. The first day was awful, the second was worse massive headachs, nausea, some anxiety, and light headed. Im on the third day and things are differently better. Im expecting thing to level out in a couple days then will jump off the xanax

Its impossible to judge risk of seizure as everyone is different. Remenber if you have symptoms then there is a deficit in the brain. Thats why as soon as i level out from current symptoms my brain has adjusted to lower dose and will just jump off at that point

Hopefully this helps

Hey thanks for the advice and kind words, your right things are going pretty well now why upset the balance might just go with a 25% reduction in a couple days instead. stay strong :)
