first of all, how are ya'll doin? i've been on a little shroomery haiatus for a week or so.
this is my situation.. about 3 weeks ago or so (i'd estimate, my memory is fucked,) i went on a pretty bad alcohol bender. usually drinking anywhere from 7 to 20 drinks a day, but usually more in the range of 14-17ish. so then about a week and a half ago i went into one of my doctors (he's a little crazy and excessive on the meds he gives out, but that's beside the point.) he ended up giving me 10mg clonazepam and antabuse to help taper, and he told me the 10mg clonazepam should last me about 3 days. well i'm not totally new to benzos and i knew immediately that that was WAY more than i needed for my habit. so, being the complete fool i was, i ended up taking all 10mg that first day and went out and had a good 10 shots or so on top of it. i continued drinking pretty heavily daily, as well as taking an average of 1.5-2mg clonazepam daily (once he refilled the script after the 3 days he said the 10mg should last.)
so this is where i'm at now.. i finally quit drinking long enough and took the antabuse this afternoon which will be a daily thing until i feel comfortable without it. and like i said, i've had the klonopin in my system daily for about a week and a half now, generally about 1.5 or 2mg a day aside from the intial massive 10mg dose. i'm getting another script for 1mg a day filled tomorrow, but i'm starting to wonder if i really need that much considering the length of this alcohol/clonazepam "bender." so this is where i need some advice from some of you more experienced on this subject. i honestly don't want to get high anymore, this shit is just making me feel worse, and i want my brain's health back, and as quickly as possible. i want to get off the clonazepam as quickly as possible, without seizing
so, i was thinking tomorrow i might just go without it as long as i can and just see what happens.. i figure there's enough of it floating around in my system at this point already and i realize that the more i take the deeper i'm digging the hole.. i hear clonazepam is one of the safest benzos to come off of seizure wise due to its long half life.. so maybe i can go for as long as possible without taking in more, and then taking the smallest amount possible if i absolutely need to.
thoughts? any advice is greatly appreciated. i seriously just want to get the fuck away from this shit, it's ruining my life. and i know it just gets worse. so please any help/advice/links/encouragement will be greatly appreciated.
i really do love you all. i've learned a lot from my time with this community.. god bless
riiiiiiiiiiiiight. i need to taper and fast, benzos scare me bro. i just want to taper without seizing and get away from these poisonous chemicals. i can stand some bad anxiety i just don't wanna seize!
Do not stop immediately without spares/doctor supervision.
YOU MIGHT SIEZE OUT AND DIE!!!
GABA is no joke. If you want to quit, you can, but you may need to taper so your body does not die. Without that, quitting is a moot point and simply unintentional suicide.
When was your last drink/tab? How much? Quitting alcohol and benzos is very possible, but very worth doing on a taper, or in-patient. I've lost a few friends to alcohol withdrawal and benzo withdrawal and been through it myself, it is very serious, not like an opiate withdrawal with 'discomfort', it is very dangerous if you have been using enough. And combining alcohol and benzos aggravates the situation.
Best of luck to you, but be safe. You don't want seizures/brain damage/ or death. It happens.
