Slicey Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 A while ago, it could have been 2-3 weeks ago, I took 8mg as opposed to my regular 2mg. I was in a highly self destructive mood, and also popped some other stuff and cut my legs up. Anyway, how would this once-off 'spike' in my dosage affect me? I've since had some problems associated with klonopin withdrawal, but I'm not sure if it is linked. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it was too much, but you woke up the next day. And it has been several weeks. It is often difficult to withdraw from a Benzo. Took me 2 months to withdraw from Xanax. I think the problem is that you took such a high dose, self harming, and then you 'popped some other stuff' and then you cut up your legs!! That is not good. That is a problem. Are you in therapy? Have you tried DBT? What event or stress led to you harming yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notfred Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 As with bpladybug it is about the why you popped those pills and self harmed, not the extra Xanax dose. nf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slicey Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 I'm in therapy and have had med adjustments since. I hit a particularly low point when I was already depressed and ceased caring about my existance/health/life. I've had trouble with abusing over-the-counter meds. I took 6 allergex along with the klonopin. I'm in therapy, have told my psychiatrist, psychologist and family about the cutting. Only told my brother about the meds. I'm getting help, and I'm considering booking myself in at the loony bin if I worsen and pose a risk to harming / suicide. Not sure what caused me to dip so badly.
