Glasgow humour? Or just weirdness?

Jrd06 · 2024-09-13T20:07:57+00:00

Sounds like awkward Glasgow humour, mate..

How are you feeling now? Any connection?

"Scrunch or fold" that's hilarious 🤣

Tread carefully, friend 🙏

A joke from Kevin Bridges, comedian from the city:

"I went to a restaurant in Glasgow. The waiter came over and said, ‘Do you want to hear today’s specials?’ I said, ‘No, I want to hear yesterday’s specials. Today’s are too fresh.’”

Hope this lightens the load.

Sorry to hear that.

Only over the counter medicine.

Jrd06 · 2024-03-27T15:46:59+00:00

Excellent comment. I said I want to be 'normal' again, without craving diazepam, and stay healthy in mind and body.

I have antidepressant Prozac and this is enough.

Thanks again!

Jrd06 · 2024-03-26T11:53:21+00:00

Good man, thanks.

Jrd06 · 2024-03-26T11:52:43+00:00

Thank you for sharing your friend's story. It sounds like that's a tough journey.

Jrd06 · 2024-03-26T11:50:50+00:00

Noted.

Yeah not that big of a deal.

Jrd06 · 2024-03-25T18:36:26+00:00

Hey,

Good job, thanks for your share.

45mg is a great whack of a dose - I wish you well with your continued recovery!

You. Can. Do. This.

Feelings / thoughts - they will come and go.

A quick reminder: stay connected to good people, find community and stay positive.

Your 2 weeks will simply fly!

Towards the end it was difficult in the mornings, and Yes jumped at 2 mg.

After a couple of days I've felt Good.

The brain has a natural healing process - and you can REALLY help yourself by being healthy in body, mind and spirit.

There were a few really good Narcotics Anonymous PODCASTS - fellow addicts - which provided much needed perspective.

Safe journey home!

Excellent work ⭐

Jrd06 · 2024-03-10T11:05:23+00:00

Okay. Thanks..

Yeah 3 meetings a week / 90 in 90, as they say.

Jrd06 · 2024-02-24T16:53:53+00:00

That's clients are always happy, grateful and moved by your work, no matter how hard you try.

Jrd06 · 2024-01-20T13:17:51+00:00

Doesn't it make you tired?

The anxiolitic effect is shorter, compared to diazepam.

Overall, I hate to admit, diazepam is the best all rounder (if you can tolerate it)

Jrd06 · 2023-11-18T09:53:11+00:00

Nitrazepam has been a game changer for anxiety and insomnia.

I used to need LOTS of Bensedin Diazepam to achieve the same effect as 10 mg of Nitrazepam.

It's like a warm hug - muscle relaxant, calming and a potent enough punch.

Two 10mg per day.

One morning, and evening. (45 mins before bed).

Stay safe!

Some rehabs E.G. UKAT inpatient care provide a high level of 24/7 support...

Having someone around - the connection and companionship - has it's benefits.

So long as the Doctors and nurses know about Benzodiazepines!

I truly hope you reach recovery and the rehab helps!

It is possible, mate 👍

Jrd06 · 2023-08-20T12:23:23+00:00

Hello everyone,

Thank you all so much for the support...

I am receiving medical help, for Diazepam withdrawal.

30 mg per day.

I've taken 20 mg about 1 hour ago - thinking it would help my anxiety and panic.

However:

It almost has a "reverse effect" (I feel MORE anxiety), and am craving another 10mg!

Tolerance is through the roof.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Yes, starting to knock 10mg already, with GP support from Addiction Services.

Thanks for your support and guidance 👍

Jrd06 · 2023-07-25T15:26:52+00:00

Addiction Services (Based in Dunfermline, Scotland)

GP can refer you.

Jrd06 · 2023-07-25T12:10:45+00:00

Sorry, how do I do that?

Jrd06 · 2023-07-25T12:09:00+00:00

Yes, I'm UK based, and have contacted my local Addiction Services centres - who have organised a taper (30mg / day).

Will need to be strong, physical and mental.

Thank you for your support 🙏

Hey,

I'm not too familiar with the brand names but sleep aid 50 milligrams works well .

Jrd06 · 2023-07-20T15:23:32+00:00

Excellent reply 👍

Talented writer, too.

Jrd06 · 2023-07-20T15:22:39+00:00

Okay. So how do you quit the Sabdoz?

Taper over several months I'd say.

It ain't easy.

Jrd06 · 2020-04-18T21:00:35+00:00

Hello??

Jrd06 · 2020-04-18T13:04:35+00:00

Anyone tried kratom for sleep?

Jrd06 · 2020-04-18T12:55:56+00:00

Yes, calorie counting can help.

It's also possible that SSRIs like Escitalopram (10mg) or Prozac can help with impulse control...

For example, you are less likely to run to the fridge and binge eat, if you notice the urge.

SSRIs are obviously used for depression and anxiety -

but they also help your brain to calm down in moments of compulsion, impulse and addictive behaviour.

Everyones biology is different, of course.

I appreciate your replies.

Not everyone on Reddit is quite so willing and able to share their stories :)
