Excessive anxiety.

reply

reply

were you weened off it or just cold turkey?

reply

Cold turkey man.

I've had to cheat several times because I thought I was gonna die.

reply

is there no program you can enter?

reply

Sober there , sober here, what difference does it make.

reply

so are you getting withdrawal symptoms?

reply

Yes, I listed them for you 20 minutes ago.

I'm unpleasant to be with. That's #1.

reply

so there's nothing to alleviate these symptoms?

reply

No, there isn't. I'm still smoking weed, that helps and benadryl. I went to urgent care a few days ago when I was very bad. They turned me away and refused to treat me cause I'm an addict and they don't give drugs to addicts. There is only the ER. I don't want to do that. Did you Google klonopin withdrawal? It's scary, you can die.

reply

In Canada it's called Clonazepam. I know a couple of people who take this for restless legs syndrome. 0.5 mg.

reply

It's highly addictive. They wont prescribe it to me anymore. Trying to war on drug it.
If it's just. 5 a day they should be ok, but I'm not a dr. So now all the reasons I started taking it are magnified.

reply

Think I'm on the other side of this thing now. Dont feel like I'm dying anymore.

reply

That’s really great

reply

Symptoms back with a vengeance.
Twitching, tons of anxiety, chest pains.

reply

any better?

reply

🙁 I'm miserable

reply

I wish everyone the best with their addictions. I have never gotten drunk or high. Growing up, I saw the destruction caused by substance abuse.
