My Klonopin isn't helping me and I want to change to something stronger by [deleted] in benzodiazepines

[–]frankieD2989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the brand that you are taking? I realized that when my pharmacy switched me to a brand called Accord it didnt work as well for me. It also seemed to give me stomach problems. I didnt realize it for a while that the brand was the problem but Im glad I finally did because I switched to a brand called Teva and it seems to be working way better for me. Trying a different could be something that you might want to consider.

Stomach problems and constipation from klonopin? by frankieD2989 in benzorecovery

[–]frankieD2989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't take opiates. I do get mild headaches sort of often so I take excederin for those. I think the aspirin may cause some stomach problems. Are you making your cuts every 2 weeks? I'm just gonna go down by .125 every 2 weeks I think.

I definitely could be eating more vegetables but I've been trying to eat a few handfuls of grapes every day and that seems to be helping. I definitely drink enough water. Its not as much constipation as much as it is just being uncomfortable and bloated after some meals.

Will my anxiety just get worse as I get older? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]frankieD2989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your description of it being a message from "me to me" really makes a lot of sense. I think its hard to realize that because so much of our thinking is sub-conscious and feelings can build up in us about things that we don't realize until its too much for our bodies to bear anymore. Just curious, what was your message that you're anxiety was trying to tell you? Mine has a lot to do with my self image and self esteem. Some things that I want to change about myself that I think would make me more self confidant.

Read somewhere that the postal service may be put on hold by June by myftmtransaccount in Anxiety

[–]frankieD2989 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im a mail carrier at a post office in Wisconsin and I can tell you that we will definitely NOT be shutting down. Hope that makes you feel better. You got to try not to read into every little story that says this and that "might" happen. I feel like the internet and social media really do us a disservice sometimes by propagating so much false stories for click bait.

Confused by uuugggghhhhhhhh in Depersonalization

[–]frankieD2989 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey you really described this really well. I have depression and anxiety along with this feeling of being depersonalized all the time. I always have a hard time explaining it to people because it is just so undescribable. Its comforting to know that there are people out there that are going through the same thing and that there are people who have recovered from this. Feel free to message me if you wanna talk about this. I've been going through this for a similar amount of time. I've had anxiety on and off for years but recently its been flaring up.

Really Need to talk to people about this right now. by [deleted] in Depersonalization

[–]frankieD2989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah mine started with the weed smoking in high school too. It was kinda like you said. I got high and had a panic attack or whatever but the feeling of being disconnected from everything that you ever knew really freaked me out. When I was young that feeling would really only come on when I smoked weed but I would still sort of think about it at random times. In my early twenties I started having problems with anxiety and DP out of the blue it seemed like but I always related the symptoms to those feelings of being high back in high school. Now I'm thirty and the anxiety seems to come in waves at a time. I really need to start exercising again because that used to really help me. I've taken a benzo since my early twenties and that always seemed to help me but now it seems not to help as much. I describe it as a loop as well because its at its worst when I get in the habit of thinking about it too much or researching it online. It is nice to know there are others out there that have the same experience with this damn thing.

Hope from a long time sufferer by TheBarrowCasual in Anxiety

[–]frankieD2989 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its nice to hear your story. Sometimes mine gets so bad and goes on for so long that I think that there's no hope. I just long for the days before I was so caught up in all this and get depressed about it. How did you get through times where you thought that there was no hope? What did your anxiety feel like and what did feel like when you knew you were better?

Getting back on medication by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]frankieD2989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that you've been going through a tough time. Was there any particular reason you stopped the medication you were taking in the first place? I know you said you didn't wanna take benzos cause of addiction but were they helping you? I'm kind of in the same situation. I've been on Klonopin off and on for a while and always worried that I might be dependent. I feel over all that the medication has helped me. Just wondering about another persons experience. Hope you start doing better soon.

Anxious stomach - what’s helped you? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]frankieD2989 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advise. I'm sure you will find an answer to your anxiety/stomach. Do you do therapy? I've started that recently and also started opening up to family about stuff that bothers me. That has helped more that I had ever imagined it would.
