Just to name a few benzodiazepine class anxiolytics: Valium (Diazepam), Xanax (Alprazolam), Restoril (Temazepam), Klonopin (Clonazepam), Ativan (Lorazepam).
After a death in the family 10 years ago I asked my Dr. for Valium. She gave me Xanax. Took a couple, didn't feel one bit better so I gave the other 28 away. I don't know what the attraction is to that shit. Didn't feel better, no buzz, WTF? Was I supposed to take more? Weed seems more reliable.Just to name a few benzodiazepine class anxiolytics: Valium (Diazepam), Xanax (Alprazolam), Restoril (Temazepam), Klonopin (Clonazepam), Ativan (Lorazepam).
Ouch!All the ones I listed, I have been personally prescribed in the past.
Edibles might be for you. They have more of a body effect and will give you more time under the curve than smoking. Sorry about the COPD.I'm on a mixture of Quetiapine / Mirtazapine / Citalopram following a break down 2 years ago.
Smoking helps me manage my aniexty and stress throughout the day more than any other drug I've tried.
Unfortunately I've also got COPD - I guess as a result of 35+ years smoking/toking - another huge pile of medication to go with that. And tbh, good grass helps - I guess it's muscle relaxation that comes along with a good smoke.
I didn't encourage her to take Xanax, her shrink did. No way would I recommend that to anyone. Her job stresses the shit out of her, and that is one thing I did recommend, to quit the Xanax and find something that works for your health (Tai Chi ?) not against it. Anyway, in 3 weeks she has a long vacation coming up, and I agreed to put down the glass, and she will will put down the pipe for 1 month, or at least cut down to 2 grams a day. And yea, something that you do long enough that you love, like smoking one every day (hour?) is an addiction, whether it it be toking, or pulling your pud. Try stopping, and let me know how it goes for you.Xanax is way more addictive, destructive, and counterproductive than weed, and is one medication that has a withdraw that can kill you. So you encouraging your wife to do that was a huge mistake. And no, you can't get addicted to weed, at least not more than you can get addicted to a behavior.
I never said that I told her to take Xanax, her doctor prescribed it, not me.Shit, she might even convulse. So your argument that you don't want her to be an addict is invalid. You are contributing to her being an addict.
You are ok with it, though.
What the fuck are you talking about, my "coming to terms" about my wife's smoking habit's. I made a comment, and all I have been hearing from you is that it is my problem, not her's or her doctors. What, are you a psychoanalyst, defining my problems? And no, you actually are not that cool, Rudolph.It doesn't make sense that you're ok with a more dangerous substance just because it's at a doctor's discretion. Move to a medical marijuana state, if all that's stopping you from coming to terms with her use is what a doctor believes.
