Clonazepam vs Alprazolam

[bluecoral]

@mysterious503

At one point I was unable to source alp, so I took clonis instead. Personally I do not like them.

I was taking 2-5 mgs a day (to match my alp dosage)
Those clonitril are tasty   

I would often my self lost and my short term memory was almost zero. I would loose my keys or my wallet and forget where I put things. I lowered my dose and found I was functional but it didnt help my anxiety as much as alp. Just kind of chilled me out all day.  

Alos I found great relief with Diazepam. It has a long half life like Clon but I found it not to have the negative side effect i experienced with Clon

I guess this is kind of the opposite of your plan. but I thought id share regardless.
Hope you find the relief your looking for alp helps me a lot.

I really appreciate the input. I've tried a few different benzos to relieve my anxiety. I've tried diazepam which did work well but other than using iop's I have very little access to them. I also tried midazolam which I think may have just been too strong for me. I was a zombie. I take a small amount of clon with a small amount of lorazapam and it seems to provide the relief I need. However I do find the effects starting to wane. I fear going up in dose because I do not want to be a zombie. I need to remember "things". Lol. I know a lot of people on here really like alp so I'm very curious about people that have used both, so your input was great.

I was on a script of x@n@x for 5 years, 8mg a day.  Moved and can't find a doc that will give me either of the prescriptions I was on so, here i am.

Wow that is a very high dose. Did you find it easy to function on this dose? My benzos are mainly for the work I'm in as it is a very high stress, high anxiety job. Sometimes I wonder if it's the job or the company. Kinda off topic lol. But yeah, I'm very curious how well you did on this Rx.

Have you ever tried gabapentin or gababalin for anxiety relief??  Gabapentin works wonders for my anxiety and depression without a lot of the negative side effects associated with B3nzos! Gababalin is its a more potent chem that works the same way on your nervous system as gabapentin.

They work on your central nervous system like a benz0 or antihistamine but in a much different way. I had not heard of this med being prescribed for anything but nerve pain until a friend told me it had helped his anxiety. After some research i tried it and found it a better and healthier alternative for me.


I posted this days before but the mods deleted a lot of my stuff. 

Hope you find relief, just know for most there isnt a magic pill for anxiety
Cognitive behavioral therapy helps a lot of people so you might want to give that a try. Assuming you have access to an affordable therapist

Goodluck

P.S.

What line of work are you in if you dont mind me asking??

Sorry guys, been off for the past few days, traveling and family time, its what the holidays are all about, hope everyone had a great time with theirs!!!   And to Larry the answer to your question is, i am a commercial construction superintendent.  Lots of people and money on the jobs that i am in charge of.  If anyone has a question i am the one they come to and i need to know the answers, on the spot, so it is definitely stressful. 

As far as the dosage i am a big guy as well, who does powerlifting, so i would think my size might have something to do with the amount of med needed to work well for me?!  Kind of a question as much as an answer...
