Update for you guys
I've been down to 2mg klonopin and 5-10mg diaz a day for the last few days and am feeling fine- I admittedly did go on a binge last week so might still have some metabolites from then in my system.
I reckon if I can stabilise to 2mg klon and 5mg diaz a day for a week I will be able to wean down by 0.5mg klonopin per week and then stay on the 5mg diaz at night (just knowing I have taken it helps me sleep, with tolerance it probably isn't doing much). From there I might do a tek to dissolve half my remaining diaz in propylene glycol (solubility is about 17mg per ml) and liquid dose down by 0.5-1mg per week (depending how I feel). A good friend of mine is holding the rest of my stash for me.
I have a bit of phenibut available to me which I believe primarily affects to gaba-b so doesn't have much of a cross tolerance. Good friend is keeping this for me in case of crisis. I have been calling my country's alcohol and drug helpline when I am feeling overwhelmed and they have been amazing and non-judgmental every time.
Seriously thinking about having my seizure medication reviewed/increased (keppra). When I was diagnosed as epileptic many years ago I was initially put on klonopin, which started this whole mess (I was an awkward teenager, it improved my confidence so much I thought it was a miracle drug, could finally talk to strangers without clamming up).
Overall going well so far. I feel that I wasn't in as deep as I had initially thought this time around. Baseline mood is good. No spine tingling, mysterious headaches or extreme agitation. Confident I can get through this.
