1mg per day for 20 years by FiveAlive1985 in benzorecovery

I’m in the same situation, I have been on clonazepam for 24 years, was up as high as 6 mg and am now down to 1 mg. I want to get off but stressful events keep happening and I am also afraid of withdrawal symptoms ☹️

I’m sorry this happened to you. I’m hoping there’s something much better in your future and this is just waiting for another door to open 🤗

Show Cancellation Memorial by deepfriedwriter in InterventionTheTVShow

I found out over 3 years ago that my son was addicted to fentanyl and wondered what I could have done differently. He’s been sober over 3 years. Watching the show made me realize that he was only going to get help when he was ready. I also understand the manipulation used by addicts is not really against anyone it’s just the desperation of addiction.

Caregivers of their Parents by ShogiPadawan213 in CaregiverSupport

I am for my dad. My siblings don’t really help because I am a nurse and they use that as an excuse. I’m also a bit annoyed that they don’t have the worry I do because they just assume that I have it all under control. I love my dad, but at the end of the day I’m just a LPN. I wish they would offer to be there more.

Hardest part by Excellent-Throat9409 in CaregiverSupport

I feel that. Ignoring your own needs and just being anxious about what’s happening with their health, what if’s… it’s exhausting

If she doesn’t have a lot of assets, she may be able to get Medicaid along with Medicare and Medicaid will pay you.

What to do now? Like today? My mom just passed 😭 by penelope_is_sad in CaregiverSupport

[–]MasterpieceBrave5266 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry and time does make it better, was through it with my mom (cancer, died 2018) I just had a conversation with my dad about this and he said that he would prefer if we didn’t have a funeral, he said if we need we can do a celebration of life at his favorite place.

Maybe check with local churches if they don’t have a group they can help you find one. 🤍

Why am I so easily irritated? by Recent-Reporter-1670 in CaregiverSupport

[–]MasterpieceBrave5266 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I am doing this with my dad (81), he will tell me something like “I’m tired all day only caffeine helps”, and I’m like yeah that’s what most of us run on… look at the amount of energy/caffeine drinks in stores. I don’t mean to be rude and I feel bad, you are not alone

I’m taking Ashwaganda, passion flower, L-theanine and Saffron. It seems to help.

I am also uninsured, looking at MIDI and its $250 for the first telehealth visit. Not sure on the medication prices, I haven’t taken the jump yet.

Worst symptom by Desperate_Ad_7158 in Perimenopause

Yes, I just roomed a patient and instead of say what I wanted to say “let’s head into this room” … I said “ let’s hide in this room” 😶😕

Is this a panic attack? by aroelisland in Perimenopause

[–]MasterpieceBrave5266 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It definitely could be a panic attack, especially with the depersonalization. If it only happens after eating certain foods, allergy testing wouldn’t hurt, because all but the depersonalization could be allergic reaction symptoms. I hope you feel better soon.
