Hi Dan, I'm new here. So sorry to hear about your dad. I've been on Alprazolam 1.5 mg for 8 years. I was my mother's caregiver (dementia) and was prescribed it for sleep. Mom passed in 2019 right before the pandemic. Now I want to get off this crap. I've done a little research and the one thing I know about tapering is to go slow. I keep putting it off and know I have to start somewhere. I don't want to switch to a longer half-life Benzo like Valium ala the Ashton Method. I also drink a little beer on the weekends. I'm sure that's not helping.
@philosophicalfishing
Жыл бұрын
Hi, and welcome! Yes, the Ashton manual is the standard most people seem to use to taper. Also, a compounding pharmacist who is benzo-wise would be a great thing to have in your corner. Slow and steady also seems to be the best way to come off of them. Going fast like I did is absolutely brutal. Not recommended.

My first one was “ Ways to increase Serotonin.” It’s just 3 minutes. Most we already know/do but the “goal” of increasing serotonin is to arrive at Santosha, or “ contentment.” Not grasping/craving or expecting the high-highs of the fleeting feeling of happiness. But, making the concious decision to be okay-enough and grateful. With what Is. The “ Is-ness” of our day to day. To being able to cultivate joy already. Not…” when.” When I am completely off benzos, when I get into that school, when I meet my Person, when I get that job, when I lose or gain 20 pounds. Tomorrow. Nah, brother. We always have choice. To feel joy, to feel okay Anyway. Especially when we are in the throes or in the After of this journey. I’m sorry you had an emotionally challenging last week. You’re allowing and accepting, B. And practicing your flow-me too! With our golf and yoga. 😌 You said you are “recovering yourself more quickly.” That is huge progress. Benzos are known to cause impulsivity. I am practicing that as well. Catching myself ( awareness) before my monkey Mind sweeps me away into The Unhelpful! 😅 Feeling the feeling, but not being onvercome by the emotion.

@@eleecesanders7342 I hit tolerance on Xanax my junior year in college and I freaked out! I didn’t know what was happening except that I was always panicking and on the verge of a nervous breakdown. That’s when my doctor upped my dose and the rest was history. At least you know what’s happening and that continuing to up your dose is not the way to go. I’m sorry you’re struggling right now. I know how terrifying it is.

@@marjorie6343 Hello, Marjorie. Thank you for asking. 💖 My spirits are good and my mind and heart feel strong and hopeful. It’s recovering my Sleep that continues to challenge me. :-/ Not an unusual issue, as you know. I try to be gentle and patient w/the process and myself. Practicing meeting the moment and staying deeply grateful is helpful when I miss sleep so much I could cry. Sometimes I do cry, then I take a deep breath and say “Thank You.” We are Healing. 💖
