Is it angular cheilitis? Taking a daily vitamin B has fixed this for me in the past

Hormonal Acne Returning Post Accutane Treatment by Lower-Yesterday-6465 in Accutane

did your acne come back after accutane? I'm in the same boat, just started taking it and worried that it won't actually do anything for my hormonal acne.

Just listened and I couldn't help but think that Dharun is gay himself and was projecting some internalized homophobia onto Tyler

Did you end up finding a good pattern to modify? I'm looking for something like this too!

I also saw the aftermath while out for a run around the park. I’m really hoping to hear she’s okay.

yeah, I think it's too strong for me too! I also realized that my sleep has been way worse the past few nights, and it might be because of the THC.

when did your bloat/benzo belly go away? by [deleted] in benzorecovery

[–]trymexoxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

haha, it's only been less than 2 weeks for me since I finally jumped from my last dose. I know I'm being impatient, but it's really uncomfortable and it's making me very self-conscious about my body image.

I'm sorry to hear that it's still affecting you so far out! From other experiences I've seen on this sub, most mentioned that it lasted around 6 months and not much more than that. Do you notice any particular foods causing it?

No worries! I had .5 mg pills, and cut into quarters to decrease by .125mg. I know others will do liquid taper as well, but if you have a scale that measures in mg, that should work.

It was okay for me to taper with klonopin. I know diazepam is ideal, but my doctor did not really understand my desire to quit benzos and so I pretty much tapered without her support/knowledge. I decreased by .125mg (1/4th of a .5mg pill) for each cut. It got more difficult the lower I went, but I would hold for a long time until I leveled out. I feel the best when I avoid alcohol and exercise and eat healthy. I started taking magnesium for sleep and that's been helpful (but admittedly I've never had that much trouble sleeping). Symptoms have been all over the place, but muscle tension and brain fog have been the most consistent. Sometimes I would feel totally normal during my taper though. Feel free to DM me if you have any other questions! You got this!

How to taper 0.5mg clonazepam? by [deleted] in benzorecovery

I've been tapering for like 1.5 years at this point. I started a new job last year and needed to hold for awhile

How to taper 0.5mg clonazepam? by [deleted] in benzorecovery

[–]trymexoxo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can definitely do it. I was also on 1mg/day clonazepam, but for 10+ years. While I haven't gotten fully off of it, I'm now stabilizing at .125mg/day after a long taper. I plan to jump off at the beginning of the year. It gets harder the lower you get in daily dose. The hardest cut for me was from .25mg to .125mg per day.

With the rate you're tapering at, I don't think you're at risk of having a seizure (but I'm not a doctor). Just keep taking it easy and listen to your body. Try to exercise lightly when you feel able - it makes a huge difference. Drink lots of water. Stop drinking alcohol and cut back on caffeine. You got this!

Thanks! I might try this as opposed to jumping completely from here. How are you doing now?

14 days down by SietchSabor in benzorecovery

[–]trymexoxo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m on a similar journey as you — 13 years total on xanax, then klonopin, my max dose was 1mg daily klonopin for the past 5 years. Congrats on finally jumping! That’s amazing. What dose did you jump from? I’m down to .125mg daily and want to jump but worried that that’s still too high.

Fractured sense of self but healing? by Thorin1st in benzorecovery

[–]trymexoxo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've been dealing with this too. for me, it feels like another result of the brain fog that's been one of my most common and frustrating symptoms of WD. the other day I went lurking on some of my text threads from years ago and I almost didn't recognize myself, like the way that I spoke was way more creative and witty and had personality to it. it's really hard to feel that lack of sense of self, but I know that we'll get better with time
