How Do You Feel About Benzodiazepines?

TeddyBoi i’m concerned that you’re on 8(???) narcotics in addition to klonopin… please follow medical advice and please tell your doctors ALL medications you’re taking. my mom died from respiratory failure caused by a dilaudid and xanax overdose. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

never combine opioids and benzos. how my mom died.

I do not personally recommend them because they're risky medication for mental disorders.

I can't find a dr who will prescribe alprazolam to me and it's so frustrating because it's what works best for me.

I also get 90 klonopin a month but I feel like .25 mg does absolutely nothing when I am actually anxious to the point of needing it

The clinic I go to has a rule against prescribing them, so you can't get them at all there and I can't find anyone who will prescribe them here. I used to take clonazepam back in 2011 and it actually helped. But now I have to settle for Buspirone.

I'm hypervigilant about medication because I'm predisposed to addiction. (My mother was an alcoholic/addict for 24 yrs) I would ask about adding something to my regimen for anxiety and always got push back, both from my primary and my psychiatrist. I no longer live in that state, so I might be able to finally get something. But I asked for years before finally giving up.

That's odd to me the only reason is if u where prone to medication abuse but I don't wanna assume u or ur back story most of the time if u drink even a little but they won't because the side effects become much greater

I couldn't get a doctor to prescribe me ANYTHING for my anxiety. Not even as a PRN.

For some reason klonopin low doses doesn't do much 20 mg kinda calms me down

I'm on 8 narcotics and controlled substances.

I get 90 klonopin a month.

I wouldn't doubt it the stigma kills me around it to when new people I meet find out that I have to take "hard" drugs to function so many people call what I have to take serious drugs and I don't disagree but when u need them then it's different

Well that could definitely be why you get so many.

Damn but I have had several cases where I have had to been hospitalized for psychosis

Zane, that is literally unheard of around here. I am from Wisconsin. I get 24 a month. They will not budge on it either. 😤

Where are you from I get 180 diazapam for 3 months and I'm from iowa

Well to be honest, I wish my Doctors would be. I have all I can do to get 24 Alprazolam a month. And it is the one and ONLY thing that actually works for me when my anxiety is super bad. I have been dealing with it for 16 years and I know what I am doing with my meds. The Doctors around her will not easily prescribe them.

I've never actually tried any
