Stay on Klonopin and kick the booze first. Then re-examine how you feel, quitting Alcohol will have many unforeseen benefits. So, stay on Klonopin, quit drinking today and in a couple weeks see how you are feeling before you go changing your meds.

Personally I have never found quitting the juice to be difficult, and I've gone from drinking nearly a liter of hard alcohol a day (for a year or more) to drinking nothing within a week several times. But I've known many alcoholics who, for the life of them cannot stop drinking. So obviously you can only do the best that you can. But quitting alcohol should be your #1 priority before you mess with your meds anymore. Alcohol really screws with your mind, so get off of that before you do anything else.

 

That's what I have been doing, I've really been cutting back. I used to binge almost every night, and I cut back to drinking socially or only on nights where I don't work the next day, and I've noticed my anxiety decrease a lot at work and stuff. Usually when I'm about 4-5 days sober, my klonopin need lessens quite a bit.

I do have a lot of underlying depression and anxiety issues that I know I need to face, so I'm preparing for it. I've made my life a mess, but I can get out of it. I've been looking so long in drugs and alcohol to find something that makes me happy 24/7. That's where my mindset went wrong and I fell off the cliff.

Now it's time to climb back up, the right way. And know that my medicines now can help, but only if I allow them too, and if I make changes.

Phew, sorry, I needed to get that out. Been down these past few hours thinking about things. Needed to vent.

 

sounds like you're doing well - on a good path, thinking good. Best of luck.

 

I also drink alcohol, but only ice cold.

 

Most I drank was 37 beers in one sitting. I used to binge drink a lot the dt made me super functional. However i never got into the bottle that much.

I've been drinking hard liqurer lately I made the bottle last over 10 days by drinking caps basically I turned it short halflife into something long. No disturbances in sleep or hangover just the benefits. It gives me abit of inspiration tiny bits of alcohol.

 

Most I drank was 37 beers in one sitting.

How huge were those beers?

If I drank 37 beers in a row I'd not even be able to stop pissing. I'd have to drink and piss at the same time.

 

355ml 5% alc

I brought a box of boxer which was 4 12ers in a box.

 

In which time did you drink the 37 beers?

 

About one evening.

 

It gross man that like drinking 37 cans of pop. It probably better to drink hard.

 

Vodka has always been my alcohol of choice, probably due to my Russian ancestry. Fill a water bottle full of it and sip it all through the work day, no one is the wiser.

 

Always was a beer girl myself; never wanted to abuse the harder stuff because I knew things could get really ugly (not that they weren't when I was just abusing beer). But at my worst point, I could probably drink 6 12 ounce beers in less than 2 hours. Then I'd keep going... till I passed out basically.

 

Stay on the klonopin otherwise bump it up I would say. Alcohol is far worse for your body. Get off that first. I never been an alcoholic so I can't give you the best advice for you but I heard about baclofen for addictive drug problems. Looks interesting. Remeron is good for sleep. Good to hear you are doing better. You are on the right way. You deserve the best... (we know)

 

Well, I am mad at myself. Last night I caved in after being in a depressed mood, and drank a lot, by myself. I forgot to take my mirtazapine and passed out... woke up this morning feeling like a train wreck :/. Ugh.

 

^^^ sorry to hear it. Don't worry though, it happens to everyone, you'll get there and be totally stoked when you do. nurse your hangover and get well soon. You're doing good and it's worthwhile.
