Well, have to take an LoA from work…
So I’ve been battling this stupid addiction for a few months now. Started as a brief break from anxiety, but my access to them was a problem after the first dose.
I’ve been in recovery for over 5 years. Basically just weed…but also been on subs for a few years during this time. I actually have not too much against subs as they really helped my mental health, but more importantly my ability to function as a professional. I do wanna get off them at some point, but it wasn’t on my list of things to do anytime soon.
So I been using .5mg clonazipam daily for probably 6 weeks, and progressive use from 1x a week to daily the 6 weeks prior. My anxiety kept me trapped with impulsive dosing. Again, the access is what got me. Fiancé had them for years, and only now did I find myself stuck in it. I’m reminded I’m a true addict…
Anyways, been trying to taper and decrease, but stuck at .25-.5 fluctuating. Gonna take a leave of absence from work as a 1099 contractor so no fmla or assistance…but I have no choice. It’s Jew using benzos and get in a worse spot, or take a two week hit. Easy decision when I really think about it…never done anything like this so feel guilty, but it is what it is..
