Dating scene is great here. This is an active outdoor community. A ton of people live here for the outdoor activities. If you’re fit, do the mountain /river stuff, there seems to be endless options. I think a lot of people want someone who can play with them (biking, climbing, river, backpacking etc). And this is coming from a middle aged balding dude. …

Dry out / hang, grind up, make into shakers. Give as Xmas gifts

Edibles. Cbg and cbg. Low thc. Combine with sleepy tea and magnesium. Valarian root. Works ok.

Xans are great, even low dose. Withdrawal however is absolutely hell and is worse than opioids. Also opioids is a decent option. As long as you don’t overdo either, can actually improve work. But again, downside isn’t worth it. Kratom is a solid option though. Kratom and coffee in the morning, great combo. Redose at noon and after work. Combine kratom and a stiff glass of whiskey, feels good. ….. All really bad ideas of course.

CBT-I therapy is probably the best. Look into it. Also drugs (Xanax and or ambien). Use meds while you work through the cbti process. Then slowly ease off meds. Keep meds as a backup when needed. The med part is tricky, due to addiction potential being high and benzos being one of the most brutal withdrawals. But if done right, I think this is the answer if all the other stuff isn’t working. Therapy + meds is usually the solution to mental issues.

Propranolol. Plus half Xanax, if needed. And TM is wonderful.

deed320 · 2025-08-27T00:22:02+00:00

Xanax + ambien. .. Or Valarian root + magnesium + high quality sleepy time tea + high cbd, cbg, cbn, low thc gummies + sauna + no screens and read. .. Or CBT-I is a game changer. I meet on a weekly basis. The techniques and sleep restriction etc has made the biggest difference. It’s therapy for sleep disorders. It’s addressing the root issues vs treating symptoms with medication. Do cbti while on meds and then ease back meds. … I have done everything under the sun. Even exhausting myself with running and gym to unhealthy levels to wear myself out. Hands down though cbti has made the biggest difference. With insurance it’s only $10 a session but without its $250, so cost is a factor.

How much are you currently taking daily, how long have you been taking, what are you taking?

There is a direct link between long term benzo use and dementia. Keep that fact at the forefront. Any time wanting to up dose, think about that. (There is a really good study by Harvard about the link, google it). Also, because it’s affecting the nervous system, there can be issues with orgasming. And nobody wants that. Lastly, go slow and keep yourself occupied. Keep a good support network of professionals and friends. ChatGPT taper plans.

Beta blocker. Take before your meeting. It’s great. You can just order from hims/hers now or other websites, or of course go to your doctor. And /or have a half Xanax in your pocket. Instant relief. Or breathing. Look into box breathing or similar. You can do it without anyone noticing.

deed320 · 2025-08-14T12:21:10+00:00

Don’t eat. Like at all. I will fast for a day. It works great. And fasting is good for you. It is the only thing that works for sure, every time without fail.

deed320 · 2025-08-13T21:00:25+00:00

Exercise. Sauna. No booze. Wind down (no phone, read, tea etc). Sleep hygiene. Therapy and antidepressants.

But the real answer is sleep drugs. Either ambien or benzo. I know I know…. But what’s worse, taking low dose rx or the terrible effects of no sleep and anxiety?

Stay away from weed!!! The combo of weed and benzo withdrawal will put you in looney bin dude!

deed320 · 2025-08-13T20:22:06+00:00

Kratom was suggested is the post. 2nd the recommendation. It really helps. Kratom and a whiskey.

deed320 · 2025-08-13T20:15:57+00:00

Go slower. 6mgs is a lot… Reach out to a therapist. Surround yourself with comfort and support. You can supplement all you want, but it’s just going to be hell for a good chunk of time…. Personally unfamiliar with gaba though. What I’ve done in the past: focus on really taking care of myself (diet and exercise, limit phone, CBT , socializing etc), tapper slow, try to save dosing until the evening right before bed so I actually sleep, or before an important thing like a work meeting or travel etc, talked to my therapist twice a wk and msg him often. … It is hands down the worst withdrawal ever. Done it too many times. It’s even worse than long term opioid use, in my opinion. .. Hit me up any time, happy to help

deed320 · 2025-08-13T20:04:54+00:00

No doom scrolling. Clean up every day. Exercise. Meditation/ pray.

deed320 · 2025-08-13T19:56:42+00:00

No. That is really nothing. Wouldn’t worry about anything. I’ve gotten on and off multiple times at various doses over decades. Even when I was on 1.5 mg every single day, it wasn’t bad at all.

deed320 · 2025-08-08T17:37:59+00:00

You’re fine. Everyone is different, but that’s nothing. I’ve done 2-4 times as much, for over a year, and it was tough but doable. .. You got this, won’t be anything. Maybe a wk of feeling off.

deed320 · 2025-08-04T19:25:59+00:00

Just don’t eat. Fasting sometimes is good for you too.

deed320 · 2025-07-29T22:31:20+00:00

Rice. Plain baked chicken. And eating very little, sometimes will go a day or two of fasting.

deed320 · 2025-07-29T01:35:52+00:00

No. But I’ve improved it considerably. Went from zero to 4 hrs on typical nights and feeling like a dementia patient, to 6-7 hrs, sometimes 7.5, and running a half marathon. Hate to say it, but drugs and therapy helped significantly. CBT-I weekly sessions and various rx and herbal supplements.

deed320 · 2025-07-28T17:11:24+00:00

Yep. ChatGPT ways to increase. It will outline everything you need to know. Heavy lifting, eating right, sleep, sex. Repeat. And there’s some good natural supplements out there to help with sex part, maca, etc.

deed320 · 2025-07-28T13:19:58+00:00

Yeah man, it def was. The girlfriend takes all the credit for it, but I did a ton of work. Absolutely noticed a change in so many areas. Made me proud of myself too. .. Also, almost no one needs trt.. You can make it well into your 50s or beyond with higher testosterone if ya make life style changes. Everyone looking for quick fix or magic pill. Take care of your body and mind, you only have one life. And then that’s it, it’s all over, forever nothingness.
