I tend to wait till things get really bad until I take one, which is my own fault. Maybe now's just a time in my life where I really need it and should take it as I'm supposed to. For some reason I sometimes feel bad for relying on it.
I'm doing other things to help in addition to the medication, such as watching nature documentaries which relax me, listening to music, journaling, and other techniques to help me cope.
Thank you for your replies, I really appreciate your kindness and concern  I hope you're doing well  |
It's always a pleasure to interact with you!
I totally understand not wanting to use any more clonazepam that I can get away with. i had used it for years, mostly .5mg. too. i'd had years, or "seasons" in my life when i'd really needed to take it, or take it more often. I was always reticent to take it, but had to get over that. During the times I'd truly needed it, my life was better for having allowed myself the relief at the time.
i truly admire your efforts to develop other ways to cope!
In time, you will become increasingly proficient with this!
it's really all about whatever works for you!
I wish you did not have to deal with anxiety/panic at all, of course!
I'm all for whatever works for you!
i am glad you are a part of this PC family!
