Im in a half-half state of remission now,meaning im far far from "NORMAL" but im also not in that dark hole,im getting lots of things done and so on and so fourth one does in this state.
What helped make this possable?Well what i have been waiting on and believed.
First let me explain....
Klonopon.....One of the most effective drugs for anxiety there is,builds up and not only provides a solid backbone,its also listed in some places as an effective mood stablizer.
Drawback??.....well it is terrable on depression,it puts a terrable restraint on gettig better,so it becomes a double edged sword.
now
Xanax.....
Effective,however shorting acting,and less of BACKBONE effect that klonopin has,so it leaves one in a bad REBOUND position.
My belief,well i see both on there own go high up in dosages,
I PERSONALY BELIEVE THESE TWO USED TOGTHER ARE.....
First extremly effective for anxiety and mood stablization.
When used properly,leave much less of a DESIRE or craving for clinical users to want more xanax.
Its almost as if they should have built in togther.
Since using this,which i have before,and sticking to the topic,i have NOT escalted my klonopin or xanax dose,i do not crave either,and i feel a MUCH more theprutic effect.
So in short,i believe the use of BOTH klonopin and xanax are a option docters should look into.I pick these two because xanax is the few benzos that actualy holds a mood lift potential,however the side effects make it a bad choice,while klonopin does the opposite.
I understand the concern of taking two very addicting drugs,however my reasoning is as follows.......First if i go a fair amount of time and dont crave,or see my dose escalting,that is a plus.
Second i have seen plenty of times BOTH used alone in very high doses,lots of time with little success.Last,im tired of worrying about being on a addicting meciation as life passes by,so what,cigaretters r addicting,as many other things,i choose to have a clinical addiction and at least see and live a little bit rather than be house bound,im sick of it and i simply cant take it no more.
*******I speak on this in conjunction with a anti depressant as MOST benzos are used,im not familiar with any use of benzos,either alone or combo,alone in monotherapy,however a post can only say so much*********
