Relatively short term Lexotan use + Alcohol abuse + subsequent CT - 14 months ou

[[Al...]]

Hello there,

 

I'd like to introduce myself, I was on Lexotan (Bromazepam) for about 2 months for anxiety and was abusing alcohol prior to that for about 1 year.. I followed that with a CT withdrawal which was a rollercoaster ride for about 13 months, after which I started to feel myself again. Emboldended by my progress, I made the mistake in having one pint of beer one night, and felt extremely odd and not the typical intoxicating effect you would normally get. This was followed by a severe set-back which I am in the midst of right now for the past 1 month, a significant flare up of old symptoms, as though I turned back time to about 6 months ago. I'd like to hear more about others' experiences and thoughts on their journeys, and am willing to provide support of required.

 

Thanks all

 

Alan

Hi Alan, welcom to BenzoBuddies

 

Some people have a problem with alcohol, especially after withdrawal from benzos. Alcohol acts on the same receptors so it goes to reason that you might feel a setback. I'm sorry you flared up again, hopefully things will return to normal soon. I'm sure you find a lot of feedback on this subject. Make yourself at home and let us know if you have any questions.
