Great to see you back with a new video. I'd appreciate your thoughts on giving up alcohol especially during your benzo taper. I'm in a similar position with zopiclone.
I would recommend tackling the alcohol first. One of the biggest mistakes I made when i first tried quitting benzos was to carry on drinking, but it makes withdrawal symptoms (inc from nonbenzos such as zopiclone & ambien) worse. I look forward to hearing how you get on. Good luck.
@@aphenex It's something I'd really like to get a handle on. I think I'll go down the naltrexone route to reduce cravings. It's not that I'm craving booze I think it's a part of a wider anxiety disorder/plus ASD and alcohol is a way of coping albeit badly. As you said, when you're in the midst of dependency it's hard to see what's actually going on or whether I'm inducing depression/panic from the medication/booze. Congrats on your sobriety. I hope to achieve that too someday. Shall stay tuned for more content. I've had trouble getting any mushrooms since brexit. I'm considering getting a grow your own kit. I know it's a little difficult to talk about this.....
