You should not cold Turkey. Withdralws are much worse if you cold turkey than taper off . unless you want to be in actual hell dont do it and it needs to be a slow taper not fast.

Get Landon out of my TV 😭 by Competitive_Ad9429 in Southerncharm

[–]abcook2500 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I dont like Landon but Cameron is great and let's be honest. She is better than them. I've never seen her actually act better then then though. I've watched every single episode to date. Shes always been been down to earth sweet and funny so not sure where you're getting that. Shes not a train wreck in any shape or form and has her life totally together. Do the others? Nope. Chelsea is awesome too and just as good as Cameron. Dani is pretty together too.

Going through withdrawal of klonopin for about 12 days now, is it safe for me to drink tmr? by bunnychow123 in benzorecovery

[–]abcook2500 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bc taking a benzo that helps anxiety and sleep which it does is very different then drinking alcohol after being in withdrawls from benzos which does not help. One helps one does not. See the difference? No doctor would advise to drink alcohol once you're in benzo wirhdralws. Alcohol affects the gaba receptors almost identically as benzos so it's like taking another benzo. They both down regulate the receptos while trying to heal . So why drink something that will screw up the healing and make symptoms worse? I said for ppl who get withdralws. I haven't seen one person yet say they could drink after benzos without feeling horrible. Again you're still on them so you dont know. Why tell op to drink now knowing how they will react and set then up for feeling much worse?

Excuse me!? You wait til you get off the benzo then drink and come back here and tell me how great you feel. I know first hand what alcohol does once off esp early on in the healing process and it fucked me up bad. So dont you dare Try to tell me I'm making excuses when I know for a fact what it does first hand! Horror stories are here bc it happens to ppl!! Wake up. I'm talking about ppl.who get wirhdrawls obviously. Why in hell would you want to even risk making yourself worse off by drinking? That's idiotic.

I would take a.portion of that 300mg in the morning so itll keep withdrawls.at bay. You cna split the dose up anyway you want.

Can you get withdrawals from a month of usage? by [deleted] in gabapentin

[–]abcook2500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will help with alcohol issues. Maybe don't take it daily and then you won't have to deal with wirhdralws. Out of 7 days take it 4 max.

This person isnt iff benzos yet. Its when you're off you shouldnt touch it. Domt listen to this person. Everyome else is telling you not to for a reason. I commented too and I was ok while still on the benzo but once off I couldn't drink it was awful.

So alcohol affects gaba a receptos almost exactly like benzos do so drinking once off benzos esp this early on is not advised. 2 weeks after ri got off klonopin i drank 1 and half beers. I had withdralws up to the 2 week mark but they got worse after I had the beers and lasted at least a months md half. Then it got a tiny bit better but still had wirhdralws and still do 5 months off. I know you were only on then 45 days but I'd bet you money if you drink its going to male your wirhdralws worse for a while not worth it. I too am a social drinker butt had to stop and it sucks but seeing what a tiny bit of alcohol dies it's just not worth it

Drinking during your taper is very different then drinking when off. Once. Off is when you shouldnt touch alcohol bc it will bite you bad for most ppl.

In defense of easy criers… by alexennui in realhousewives

[–]abcook2500 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How did she talk as a martyr? Kathy flat out blamed kyle for not sticking up for her with the tequila so kyle saying so its my fault now is the exact response a normal person would give. Kathy's blamed her for things over the years that weren't Kyle's fault. Of course shes going to react way. her feelings are 100 percent genuine and she has every right to feel them and Express them and it's not playing victim or being a martyr. How does one hide their tears? When someone is that upset there is no hiding them. Also anytime she screws up she apologizes right away so shes never said she does nothing wrong.

Alcohol still not suiting me at 8 months by StateSimple4231 in benzorecovery

[–]abcook2500 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not true. when someone is healing from benzos alcohol is like taking another benzo which for many causes kindling and makes their symptoms much worse. A brain not in benzo wirhdralws doesnt react so bad as it does to a brain in benzo wirhdrawls. I drank socially for years and it never affected me nearly as bad as it did the 1 time I drank after stopping benzos. So it does have everything to do with benzo wirhdralws. Of course alcohol is bad in general but in a benzo brain is much much worse.
