When u find out your pharmacy gave you the *wrong* script so every time u thought you were taking klonopin u were ACTUALLY just randomly taking a 10mg dose of lexapro

klonopin... save me.. benzodiazepine save me klonopin

[freud1ansl1ps]

the setup for tonight

[angria]

Literally labored breathing on the train as though I just ran for miles. I don’t know why I’m so panicked about my home-state. Last time wasn’t this bad. I don’t know what is going on and my head is scrambled and I want to claw out of my body.

Debating about asking Dr W for klonopin, but I know she’ll never let me. Even all these years later. But this anxiety and panic (over various things) has not decreased for months, no matter what I do. My hair is falling out again, can barely eat, not sleeping. Idk.

Update: Pulled out my playdoh on the train…heart rate is lower at least…

dissapointed by klonopin drops but i wasn't gonna waste any

[beautifult999]

If I take my prescription Klonopin again, it would be kind of like medical marijuana in the sense, yeah, it’s medicine and it’s prescribed to me, but I’m still getting high

I'm losing my mind.

Been suffering from benzo withdrawal for almost 2 months now. I think. I stopped counting.

Starting tapering by 1/8 of a mg on March 1st. I decrease the amount every 2 weeks. I'm not at the point where I'm almost completely off of it. Only a few days left.

So far, I've experienced:

agitation

irritability

increased anxiety

flu-like symptoms for a few days after about 3 weeks of tapering

muscle tension

mild nausea

muscle jerking

restless leg syndrome

probably other things that I'm forgetting

those last 2 symptoms (#9 not included) are the most prevalent right now. The only real reason I'm writing this is because my phone is updating and I don't have anyone to talk to about this. But I NEED to talk about this, even if it's just to myself in journal form. and I'm currently being driven up the wall by the nerves in my right leg. It feels like electricity is shooting around my kneecap and down to my ankle. This is the most uncomfortable I've been since the early withdrawal symptoms.

Early on I found someone via Twitter who has gone through the same thing as me, and I've since adopted her as my "sponsor", for lack of a better term. She's been very helpful. I feel very lucky to have her help me along this journey.

This is the second time I've attempted to taper off klonopin. The first time I failed after 2 weeks. About a year and a half before that, I had experienced pretty bad withdrawal symptoms after running out of meds for 36 or so hours.

I'm tired of these symptoms. They're not nearly as bad as I was expecting, probably due to tapering so slowly. But it's still hell.

As I sit here, super uncomfortable, moving my leg every 30 seconds to feel the least bit more comfortable, I remind myself how easy it would be to just take my previous full dose and have all of this over with. Just go back to normal. Sure, I'd become a slave to this drug again, but I'd have my sanity and my comfort back.

I've been on klonopin for 7-8 years. I didn't want to get off of it. My psychiatrist insisted. I thought about getting a new one. The long-term effects scared me, but so did the withdrawals. Now I'm in limbo. I have been since March 1, 2023. I'm frustrated.

To give up is so tempting.

klonopin is godsend

[freud1ansl1ps]

anyone up for talking i’m high as fuck and lonely

[angria]

Whelp, going to give Propranolol a try. Dr W didn’t mention Klonopin, so I didn’t bother. Hopefully this helps. She wonders if the anxiety will improve now that the summer and all the main stressors are “over.” But also my mind/anxiety is in overdrive, hypervigilant, and this could reset things.

She talked about Vistaril, but as a prn and I don’t think a prn will help since the anxiety is at a constant high. Also brought up another antidepressant/going off the Remeron, but I really don’t want to start a new one. Running out of options after all these years and I don’t really like the remaining ones.

Idk. We’ll see.

So my mother steals 35-40 of my klonopin while I’m in the last semester of school and trying to write a 300 page paper and work an internship. Then goes on to tell me she’s going to kill herself while sending me a picture of a gun. My family has been through a lot with me when I was in my 20’s making mistakes and while I lost my fiance but what the actual fuck am I supposed to even do. I cannot wait to get out of this fucking hell hope and move on with my life.

Hey please don’t stigmatize benzodiazepines (Klonopin, Xanax) as drugs that can only be abused. I actually hate deploying my benzo because it makes me void of emotion and tired, and also feel like a loser for needing it at all. I get that these are party drugs to a lot of folks but please remember they are more than that :/

I hate how much the time travel boost you get from benzos appeals to my adhd sensibilities as finally the time in my outside world matches the rate of my internal clock. It’s like reality has been put on a 1.25x increase in speed. I don’t even find myself drawn to the relaxation (I don’t take enough for euphoria) or lack of body anxiety (though that’s a plus) as much as the satisfaction of just time feeling r̼̯̤̗̲̞̥̈ͭ̃ͨ̆i̞̟̫̺ͭ̒ͭͣg͎͚̥͎͔͕ͥ̿h͚̖̜̍̃͐t̘̟̼̉̈́͐͋͌̊ but also occasionally going super fast isn’t too fun
