Hi guys,
I've first had my panic attack when I mixed marujuana and alcohol. Later, I had a panic attack without any drug use. I ended up with a psychiatrist, was put on Clonazepam and Propanolol. Was weened off an year ago and all I have not is Clonazepam 0.25 pills in my wallet... I use them whenever I feel anxious.
I know Clonazepam is very addictive and can screw my life up and I try to avoid it and deal with anxiety as much as I can. Recently I felt a bit panicky often and I took the pills thrice in 2 weeks (didn't have a panic attack).
I visited my doctor and he's advised me to take therapy instead - which I am planning to - by the end of November.
Today, I wanted to see if I can deal with anxiety. So I take this long walk up this really dark alley. This has scared the hell outta me but I managed not to take a pill.
My question is, am I doing this right? Is this how I learn to deal without the pills in my pocket all the time? Or will this lead to further trauma?
Thanks,
D
P.S: I really want to lead a life without clonazepam :|
I feel quite crippled that I have to carry this all the time with me.
