I was becoming very psychotic, and it was because I tried going off benzos. I talked to my doctor about it today and he says theres nothing wrong with being on less than a milligram of klonopin…for someone with my condition. He says he wouldn’t say that with such utter certainty to someone if they didn’t have a psychotic illness, but he could say it with utter certainty to someone who has a psychotic illness.
Now I’m pissed at all the people in my drug/alcohol counseling group that always insult me for being on klonopin… Well they got the wrath of my psychosis yesterday so it was kinda payback to them for making me think twice about being on benzos.
Sorry things didn’t work out…I hope life turns around for you soon! These medications can be incredibly difficult to come off of. My PTSD has come back full force at night because I’m cutting back on my benzo so I’m in the struggle with you.
I think all my medications are fine,…and I don’t think weed is bad. When it is legal…I will smoke it. But it’s too much of a hassle, I end up buying an 1/8th–>1/4 ounce and smoking it all in consecutive days and then it starts making me bad.
But if only I could just buy a joint every now and then, I would.
