Been on benzos (Xanax and then Bromazolam) for 8 years. Looking to Taper off - advice?
So when I was in college, I started taking xanax back when it was real xanax and it was a party thing, not every day but often. And then after a year it became nearly every day, going in and out of phases of heavy use. I've sobered up a few times, the longest being 7 months. But I just can't seem to shake it. Black market Xanax has been bromazolam which i've been taking for 2-3 years, but finally have a bottle of perscrption Alprazolam bars. I don't get one every month, but currently have 90. I have been taking 3 mg of bromazolam for 3 years, but have taken 3 and 4 month breaks a couple times. But if I had xanax it would be 2-4mg almost daily. the past two weeks I've gone between 0.5mg-4 mg.
I need help getting a structure down, and any helpful experiences and anything like gabapentin or something to mitigate WD? Just looking for advice, please don't go off I know it was stupid taking bromazolam.
