Recovery...DO NOT QUIT COLD TURKEY
Weening yourself off
This one is the only drug that I would make mandatory to not quit cold turkey, especially with high levels of
abuse. Not only will you be accompanied by vast amounts of physical pain, mental anguish, and anxiety attacks through the roof, but if done improperly,or by someone in moderate to poor health, the withdrawal of benzodiazepines can be fatal. Here's my way of treating benzodiazepine addiction, without having to pay for a costly rehabilitation clinic.
1. Tapering the dosage-Be sure to lower the dose slowly, dropping it by ten percent each week, taking breaks on the weekends, and supplementing it with some type of opiate or muscle relaxer (preferably codeine or cyclobenzaprine.)...just be sure not to trade one addiction for another.
2. Supplements to swap off- Add in plenty of L-tyrosine (3 grams a day), piracetam (2400mg a day) 5-htp, and double up on multivitamins. Also, drink a ton of gatorade, and try to eat a lot during the withdrawal, you're body is going to need it.
3. Smoke weed during the withdrawal- Yes, you read that correctly, because let's face it, marijuana will help you to get your mind off of the benzodiazepines. Smoking weed may help with some symptoms of withdrawal, and is a much better go to when you have a craving that valium or xanax. I recommend smoking weed on the weekends to help with the days you go without your meds.
4. nootropics to help with Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome- Once you get through the initial four weeks, it's time to get your brain back in shape. Throw some phenylpiracetam, Adrafanil, and my personal favorite, noopept into your recovery regimen. If you use these in conjunction with rigorous studying, you'll be surprised at how fast your brain will recover, and at how little you will want to go back to using. Check out my "nootropics" category, for more details on this.
is going to be a hellish journey, and I am confident that if you can make it through the first four weeks of withdrawal, then you can beat your addiction to it in the long run. Make sure after addiction, to add in some type of exercise program, it will create endorphins and give you that natural anxiolytic effect that you craved for so long from benzos. If you're having trouble doing it at home, or feel any symptoms not readily known to you before you took the drug, be sure to talk to a doctor for further advice. You are in my prayers for detoxing from this drug fellas, so good luck, you're definitely going to need it.
