ADDICTION: SUBSTANCE ABUSE COMMUNITY
8 days clean

8 days clean

and the night time-anxiety is constantly haunting me. Already almost triple my average  klonopin intake to 1.75 mg's up from .75 mg and add to that benydryl of about 4~5 capsules a day plus 2 ambiens and it feels like like I'm still going to jump out of skin. Been clean on the tramadol for 8 days but the other incremental drugz being used to ease the WD makes me feel as if I'm going backwards in my process. What am I doing wrong?  This anxiety is still going on after an almost 6 month taper from 600 mg of T all the way down to a .125 mg before going CT.

Hey Vic, congratulations on day 8!! I HATE anxiety! I do not think you are doing anything "wrong", but unfortunately some of us have worse depression or anxiety than others. I'm sorry if you answered this before but is this anxiety new to you or something you have had before you stopped the pills?

I've had a history of anxiety issues, but was always manageable with minimal amounts of Klonopin, typically no more than .75 mg's per day. But now coming off of Tramadol, the anxiety had increased and transitioned into panic attacks where-as the Klonopon is barely helpful, even at much higher dosages.

I suffer from generalized anxiety syndrome, for a quick short term relief when anxiety is bad, hang uside down against a wall, or off the sofa for 5 mins. Sounds stupid but it works.
