I dont want anymore PILLS!
    #14053827 - 03/02/11 10:33 AM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Ugh.. So the doctor prescribed me Klonopine for one month. It was because I couldnt sleep and I was having an extremely hard time dealing with my ex girl leaving me. The pills worked. I sleep now and I think less about my ex and when I do think about her its less intense.

The doctor said its a mood disorder. He suggested I stay on Klonopine for 12 months - 2 years. In my head I was like FUCK THAT!I was normal once. Nothing affected me and I didnt need pills to live.

Well im near the end of my first prescription and I dont know if they are wearing off or what but this morning I woke up and had strong thoughts about my ex. Gah. Fuck that bitch. Its bad enough I cant be a man about it, but I cant even be a boy about it.

I have a date sunday. I am going running with this girl. Shes cute as hell, successful, funny, and we both love fitness. I think I am just one lonely motherfucker. I miss cuddling up next to my girl and the way we would hold hands all night. Shit like that. Maybe if I get in good with another girl those feelings for my ex will die.

I want to ween myself of these pills but im afraid to. Before I was taking them I was a mess. Crying, suicidal, dark, dark, dark, lonliness. I dont want to go back there. I want to feel normal like I do now but without pills.

I dont know what to do.

Hanging out with another girl would definitely take your mind off your ex.  Also, keep in mind Benzodiazepines [Klonopin, Xanax, Valium.. etc] build up a tolerance and quitting taking them won't be easy or fun but WILL be worth it once you are free from the pills.

The trick with weening off benzo's is to do it gradually and safely.  You don't have an unsafe tolerance yet because you haven't been taking them for long enough but you will have a mental tolerance and a mental addiction built up to the effects.

I think you are handling this great.  See how it goes with this new girl and take it slow.  Stay active and eat well.  Little things like that WILL help you feel better and make it easier to not feel like shit.

That's my advice at least.  All the best to you.

This. :thumbup:

Are you taking a higher-range dose? If you don't want the medication, it's not helping you, you should definitely express this to your doctor, maybe ask about any other possible options.

If you don't want to be maintained on such a medication it's fortunate that you are having second-thoughts so early into the treatment rather than years later after becoming dependent on a higher dose.

Good luck!

I am only taking 1 mg every night before bed time. It does help, I just dont want to use it. I like to be drug free if I can. Maybe I will ween myself off and see what happens.

That sounds strange. What kind of mood disorder is that? And klonopin for mood-disorders? Never heard of that one before.

My advice would be to not take the benzos for more then a month (2 years?? WTF???) unless you absolutely need them of course. Those things have the worst WD of any drug out there, it leaves you pretty fucked up for a long time after you quit them if you get a good habit going. But don't get shroomery advice...go and stomp the dr. door down and demand explanations...:crankey:, or better yet, ask politely :hehehe:.

As for the girl troubles: Night Club, Booze, Random Slut/ repeat as needed.

Lol at the doctor calling feeling bad after a break up a mood disorder. Wow... So when everyone's parents die and they are sad about it, it is a disorder and they should get mind numbing pills to forget about it instead of dealing with it emotionally? Sounds like great medical advice. :facepalm:

The doctors explanation was as such. "You should be very sad since you lost your girlfriend, but you shouldnt continue to be sad for prolonged periods of time." I know its not for the doctor to determine how long a person should be sad or shouldnt but then again it had been since August and I was still broken heart broken soul.

Owls, I know that. But when I ended up with a 16 guage shotgun in my mouth I decided it was time to try something else. I accept responsibility for my actions and I am simply here to read up on oppinions and experience.

Nova. I was thinking similar things. I am supposed to be sad. I just dont know about being as bad as I was. The truth is that she was the first girl I ever let in. Before that I just fucked women. Since I took that leap and let one in and then got dumped on, I have been really uncomfortable.

I think I am going to get off the meds and see what happens. Today I have an appointment and I am going to ask the Doc. to ween me down. I figure my date on Sunday will help. I have been talking to this girl alot and she is pretty amazing. I think about her, but I still find myself thinking about my ex.

One of my major problems is that I was 100% addicted sexualy to my ex. I have had pussy since her and its not changed a thing. I hope someday I can shake her off my mind. I want to.

UPDATE:

Well I went to the doctor. I am weening off. I will be off in two weeks. I like my doctor alot. He sits in the patient room with me and talks to me about women. He tells me about his past troubles and we shoot the breeze. Good shit.:thumbup:

yeh, i've been suicidal before too. imagine how suicidal you  might feel a few years from now once you're trying to get off the benzos..

you could always try meditation/yoga, or whatever else intrigues you

i love you

Owls is getting sane again, very good advice actually, if you're really having problems and really need some sort of pill to get trough them then a low-dose ssri might do the trick nicely, they're not as bad as people make them out out be...
