interestingly enough jumping down to 15mg of said benzos keeps me stable,and anxiety free for the most part of the day,nitrazepam does have some negative groggy effects in the morning ,but found that im able to cope on such dosage and plan on further dropping to 10mgs daily on said benzos.
Any advice or experiences will being on weaker benzos for couple months decrease tolerance,since have xanax and clonazepam which i stockpiled and dont want to get back to any on until i can be fine on dosage that is lesser then 2mgs per day.
Since i know i wont be able to kick them any time soon and WDs are unpleasant, but still thinking rationally dont want to spiral where i need to have at least 3-4mgs on daily basis to function properly.
Now someone reading might say why dont i stick with whatever i take now and minimum amounts,its basically i have summer off and keep all the stressful situations where i have anxiety to minimum also switching off coffee and eating healthy thus while still feel WDs but they are manageable on small amounts when not doing much.
Any inputs appreciated.
When you are switching benzos, which I have many many times, you are right about coffee. But you also need to avoid cigarettes (slows down healing and a stimulant), alcohol/sugar.. anything that will speed up your body in any way.
From my experience it is much easier to switch or taper if you avoid these things.
And don't try to beat it faster than you're comfortable with, you will end up in the ER and not even know how you got there. Good luck, God bless.. it's a long journey.
