Lots of people asked me to be their Benzodiazepine test dummy and kind of document my taper and stuff. Many people seemed nervous trying to quit. Here is the current state. Unfortunately it is not good. > be me > on Benzodiazepines > 14 years > not good > decide to stop > cut by 25% > not too bad > people say be careful > can be hard > no big deal > cut another 25% > hehe 50% reduction > shrimple > day 5 arrives of 50% cut > feel weird > whatever > day 6 feel weirder > day 8 arrives > deep unfathomable depression > feel empty, unable to even malware Holy cannoli, Chat. This will pass, but you have GOT to be prepared when doing big tapers with Klonopin or Benzodiazepines. I know tons of people told me, but the first aggressive 25% cut wasn't bad. My brains GABA thingies are screaming at me and it feels like my soul is being crushed. It is a deep hollow emptiness and wave after wave of anxiety. Here is a silly picture depicting how I currently feel inside. Klonopin is not cool and it is not badass. It fucks you up
