Day 9 off Klonopin Taper - Something I Forgot to Mention

[[Al...]]

So I also forgot to mention, whilst talking about my negative side-effects of minor anxiety yesterday, I also wanted to mention that I smoke cigarettes and drink caffeine, both of which are stimulants that interact with adrenaline to some degree.  This is what is probably bringing on these light negative effects.  I'm working on quitting smoking, b/c, IME (Quit for 33 days recently and went back to it they are hard to quit), it made a big difference.

Still, the positives far outweigh the negatives rn, as I felt GABA for the first time in a long time the other day.  Gonna keep on pushing forward.

I'm drinking buckets of coffee and really like the effect i get. I will quit smoking this year.

I read some positive stuff about caffeine and the brain. But there are so many theories. If it works it works

I'm considering quitting smoking too but it's hard to not smoke when your anxious a lot. Has anyone quit and found it had Signifficant benefits?
