wow benzo withdrawals SUCK

and i'm not even going cold turkey or even close to it for that matter. but damn i feel super tense and i keep overthinking everything and my mind is producing all these super irrational fears/paranoias it's ridiculous. and, i kind of feel like i'm acting weird and saying innappropriate things sometimes, OR MAYBE THAT'S JUST A FUCKING DELUSION TOO 
all i know is is that i'm done drinking (never even liked the shit, yes i had some good experiences getting drunk but it's a thing of the past now) and as soon as i'm off the klonopin completely (shouldn't have even taken it in the first place, but it's hard when you're coming off of a long alcohol binge and your crazy doctor just throws 'em in your face) i'm done taking benzos completely. honestly never even liked how they felt and something bad always happens everytime i take them, or at the least i just become dull and stupid for awhile, which is a complete waste of time
BUT OTHERWISE, i feel great. things are looking up. i honestly haven't had this positive of a mindset in a long time now. so i'm sorry if no one cares, guess i just felt like ranting.
i love you all though

i've said it before, but get some good kava extract capsules. it's the strongest muscle relaxer i've ever had. there is absolutely no tolerance or addiction/withdrawl whatsoever, and i'm one of those who gets withdrawl from ganja. i take 30 capsules of pharma kava every night. it's a little pricey, $25 for 60, but alot less than all of my other ex drug habits. kava is king!

could you please recommend me a brand or link/pm me something? i' m more than down
i'm sitting here thinking about taking .125mg more clonazepam when i get home as i'm having a tough time adjusting to .25mg (i was on it for 4 days last week, jumped down from .5 to .25mg and was fine for 4 days but then i had to take .5mg one day again. then .25 the next day, then .375 the next, now i've been on .25mg for 3-4 days again and it's getting difficult)
fuck that though, i'm just going to stay at .25 i think.. at least i think that would be best

yeah, take it easy tapering off of the benzos. the kava i use is called pharma kava from herb pharm. pure land ethnobotanicals online also sells good stuff. now brand also sells some decent stuff. i'm sure you could get pharma kava online, but i live in oregon and it's pretty common in grocery stores here. i used to use kava powder shipped from hawaii, but it's horrible to have to drink a giant glass of mud and that alone can cause nausea. go with the capsules.

thanks man
and wow fuck benzos. this shit is ridiculous
too bad my doctor doesn't know anything about diazepam and was actually arrogant enough to claim that clonazepam is easier to taper off of which is definitely not what every resource on the web says.
oh. well.

whatever you do, don't get on phenazepam. i bought a bunch last winter and had black outs pretty regularly. i would get out of bed to pee, and i would fall over and slam into walls. i eventually confronted a cop in a parking lot because of a tiny fender bump when i thought it was out of my system, and couldn't walk the line properly. they tested my urine and gave me a dui for thc/lorazepam. weird that they didn't find or list the phenazepam. after being off of it for awhile, i found that i had placed items/paperwork in odd places all around my house. it took quite awhile to figure out everything i did. feels great but fucks your life up.

When I went through alcohol withdrawals I walked to a mental hospital and almost checked myself in so they could Thorazine my ass 
.....I still got a bottle of benzos from my alcohol withdrawals that I wont touch. Dont even wanna imagine what that shit would be like

Good luck to you man. I honestly don't think I could ever give up Benzo's, I've been on them so long now, it's just normal for me. I'm kind of "Instatutionalized" on them. But meh.
I hope that you kick the withdrawls soon, and don't have to deal with them for much longer. I hear the withdraw is pretty shitty.
But once you're off, and feelin' normal it will be fun
Good luck again
