Hi everyone

Recommended Posts

So my first experience with xanax was probably when i was 20ish? Or a lil younger maybe(yes). Now here i am coming down from like a big ass binge that went on way too long now i feel like absolute shit. I can't sleep at night I'm becoming sleep deprived I'm starting to think idk if I'll ever be able to sleep with out a 2 mg bar. I was pretty much self diagnosing myself before that tho for like 4 mg every night sometimes half a a bar in the morning to sleep some more. Also mind you i have a small drinking problem so that's hard too and no one irl really knows what I'm going thru. I came along this message board looks interesting. I could use some help pls. Love y'all be safe goodnight :+)

Hi Veryrare111 :hug: Welcome to Benzobuddies! 

 

I am sorry you are struggling with insomnia, how long have you been taking benzodiazepines?  If you are looking for taper advice and have been on benzos more than a few weeks, a gradual taper of 5-10% every 10-14 days is generally recommended.  Alcohol and benzo's  is a lethal mix, be careful.

 

I am going leave a link to the Ashton Manual, a great source of information about these types of medications and how to withdraw.  “Professor Ashtons Manual”

 

Feel free to post to any of the dedicated boards.  We have a wonderful community of people here.  Our members have been through all aspects of benzodiazepine use and withdrawal and are more than willing to share their experiences.

 

Here are a few links to information on tapering and withdrawal support:

 

General Taper Plans 

 

Withdrawal and Recovery 

 

If you would be so kind as to add a signature (history of meds/doses etc) it will help members give you relevant advice this link will show you how to”Create a signature”

 

Welcome  aboard

Magrita
