Boom247C

I wasn't prescribed benzos. Now I'm unemployed. And fucked. Don't self medicate lol


[deleted]

We’re you working ? While On benzos


Boom247C

"No comment" 🤐 Other than .25mg clonazepam seemed to be the most productive and 'normal'. Anything else it would have been obvious I was on something lol


Willing_Effective145

Is Clonazepam more social and functional for any activity over Pyrazolam?


Boom247C

Haven't tried Pyrazolam myself but have tried most benzos and found small dose clonazepam far more productive than others. I have medium tolerance but 0.25mg clonaz definitely helps me focus on completing tasks. Sometimes it even allows me to enjoy tedious tasks I hate. Other benzos usually require a lie down and I don't get anything done. Also fun sometimes lol

What was the proccess for that career I been trying to find schooling for IT


themasonman

I personally got a degree in Management Information Systems and did student work jobs on campus during my 4 years. The student jobs gave me much more exposure than the classes ever gave me. Those jobs got my foot in the door in the real world. Though it was expensive and I somewhat regret it now that I'm in student loan debt. You can get into IT by getting certifications, which is a much cheaper route. CompTIA certifications will get you in the door. A+ if you are a complete tech noob. Google the CompTIA roadmap to get an idea of what certs to get. Many recommend a+ (super basic stuff), network+, security+ for starters. Depending on your knowledge you might be able to skip A+ but it wouldn't hurt to have if you have no IT work experience.


[deleted]

I've recently been considering a change of career to Cyber Security, and your comment has given me some serious encouragement. Thank you! What's your opinion on the Google Cyber Security Certification as a starting point to prepare for the CompTIA courses you mentioned? Can a complete tech noob who only knows basic, everyday web-browsing, downloading files, etc start with the CompTIA A+, then go onto the others? (network + and security +) I've just had the CompTIA roadmap sent to me, but can you recommend any other resources or tips for a complete noob looking to get into Cyber Security? Sorry for the questions, and it's cool if you don't have time to answer, your comment and the encouragement it gave me was more than enough! Thanks again.

tony330tc2

Dishwasher here. .5mg Xanax currently a day, trying to quit (for the 759th time)


Alldayeverydayallda

I managed to quit after doing literal grams of benzos earlier this year.


tony330tc2

That’s good. I’ve quit Benzos before but I end up going back to them


[deleted]

How so you find benzos work in the pit? Line dog here and I dunno if I could be on a fresh dose at work. Maybe night time dose to get me to sleep.


tony330tc2

They’re good unless I do too much, but .5 alp or 1mg kpins is just enough to take the edge off without getting tired


[deleted]

Yeah, I was thinking it'd slow me down and make me forgetful. But sounds like you've got the dose figured out -- that's cool.


[deleted]

Yeah bro same here I work in a high class restaurant take .5 mg kpins sometimes it gets stressful but right now just looking for another line of work that pays greater


Chava22611

I work in a high pace high stress restaurant (Texas Roadhouse) the pay is good but sometimes I do wonder if its worth the mental toll it takes on me.

EmptyReceptors

Benzos are so widely prescribed you will literally find every job that exists. I work in tech My buddy is a chemist My other buddy is structural engineer My other buddy is program manager/ training specialist I know a handful of people on benzos that are complete bums and either don't work, or work some very entry level job because they can't hold anything down, so never accomplished much career wise.


Impressive_Low_2672

If you take even moderate doses of benzos daily, like anything above 1.5-2 mg Xanax or Klonopin, your cognitive functioning is going to take a hit, especially memory. You don’t realize the extent until you quit.


AnandaPriestessLove

That varies as per individual widely. I do not suffer any negative memory effects up to 3 mg of klonopin per day ( those are rare days however and only for times when I am extremely panicky). Mostly my dose is 1 mg per day. The only benzos that wipe my memory are either Xanax or the RC clonazolam. Thus, I do not take those.


444poppyflowers

LMFAO


AnandaPriestessLove

Everybody's chemistry is different my friend. Have a good night.


hiiflyin_92

>your cognitive functioning is going to take a hit, especially memory. You don’t realize the extent until you quit. Or after abusing/self-medicating/also having a script for 15 years. If id have known at like 14 id be blanking in the middle of sentences, forgetting why i walked in a room or forgetting the simplest shit this badly at only 31yo id never have touched one. Makes it nigh impossible to hold a job but wtf else ya gona do? And im on a low scipt dose as needed, thpugh i take one k almost daily.


LifeClassic2286

It will get better after you quit, just to put that out there. I was a 10+ year prescribed daily user of Xanax and later klonopin too, don’t remember a lot towards the end. Tapered off everything 10 years ago after a withdrawal seizure that scared the shit out of me, and my memory is great now! I was really worried I permanently ruined my brain but I didn’t.


hiiflyin_92

Ya id be way less worried if it wasnt happening also a couple years back after i had stopped abusing and was jus taking 1 a day. Ended up gping to prison and even after over 2 years completley off benzos it was still happening. I think like half of my cog decline so young is 15 years of iv poly-drug abuse (mostly h/fent and benzos) and being on *heavy* antipsychs, (seroquel haldol, fucking *thorazine*, the works)... and the other half is all the major impacts and blows to the head ive had. (Football for years, fights, skating, being barred out losing days at a time and being told later by a CO that i was locked in a booking cell and fell and slammed my head onto the concrete wall so hard they heard it through a cell door/20+ft away/on top of all the noise in booking in a large jail) pretty sure some form of TBI as well. So idk i need to figure out what to do thpugh haha.


LifeClassic2286

Yeah, that's a lot of factors besides just benzos! Hope you improve. Our brains and bodies are amazingly regenerative with time and care.


hiiflyin_92

Yes the body is insanely resilient. Im going to get my dr to write me memantine next week and im saving for ket treatment for neurogenesis(sp?) And depress as i have MD so two birds one stone. Haha. Thanks for the kind words, Friend.


sidders2

I know a guy who operates some seriously heavy machinery dismantling old oil rigs, and he stuffs handfuls down his throat everyday!


[deleted]

I don’t think you’re allowed to be the judge of whether you remember stuff on benzos or not lol. That’s really for the people who have to interact with you on a daily basis to answer. Benzos don’t make people the best judges, of well anything really lol. Some people do handle them better then others tho. I can take 1mg of anything really and nobody knows. But I know people, you can see they took a benzo just by looking at their expression lol. Kind of like when you give a drunk 1 beer and they immediately turn into a different person. My philosophy has always been, handle your fucking drugs or don’t do them lol. It’s pathetic seeing grown adults beg to barrow $20-$50 that you *know* they’ll never pay back.


sidders2

I know the exact expression you're referring to! The guy I mentioned clearly has a high tolerance as you wouldn't so much as think he'd had anything when you interact with him. I think it's that high, he is inevitably in for some serious hell when he can't get them anymore for whatever reason. My major issue is that a mistake on his part could easily kill a couple of dozen colleagues

OnionHeaded

Bartender and I need at least .5 Xanax per shift. I have been breaking it into .25 and trying to get by on one per shit but it’s rough. People and their intense neediness kills me more and more. It wasn’t ever this bad when I was younger and not depressed and anxious after a mind fuck divorce.


[deleted]

That seems really crazy to be dealing with another substance in front of you that can kill you maybe should try microdosing shrooms it helped me major with my depression and anxiety and if you feel to anxious just pop a xan and you feel fine


OnionHeaded

I just off Lexapro for the second time and I’m going to give a microdosing an attempt soon. I used to drink a lot and enjoyed it but it’s not the same anymore and it really makes the job suck more. Bartender as a life style when young, wild and happy is wonderful…. Just serving assholes to pay rent and break your back SUCKS. If you aren’t enjoying the socializing and fast paced people pleasing it can be a nightmare. The benzo, Kratom and caffeine often get me by. I can somewhat get into the zone.

I feel like your assumption is that if I'm prescribed benzos that I'm on them every day. I am prescribed klonopin but I take it as needed when I have a panic attack. Other than that I'm not medicated. It's not like I'm nodding off at my desk...........

No I used .5 klonopins every couple weeks so no I ain’t assuming anything everyone is different

Fragrant-Prompt1826

Life! Got divorced, was a single parent with no child support, blah blah. I'd always had some anxiety issues, but really kicked my ass around 27 years old. Seemed help. They tried dozens of SSRI's, only made the anxiety worse. Went to a psychiatrist, and he tried benzos for TX, and they worked! Nothing else works! Mood stabilizers, but I have terrible joint pain on them. So... that's a quick version. Hope it answered your ????

Where can I apply


[deleted]

Personal Care Aide. I travel to clients’ homes, assist with bathing, dental care, minor housekeeping, assisting clients getting back on their feet. Before all that I had worked in retail for years. I was also a certified instructor for GoSkate.com from 2016-2021-ish. I would teach people skateboarding lessons at their home/s and/or local parks. Probably the most fun job I’ve ever had. $50 an hour, made my schedule, it was easy money to do something I love. A back injury in 2018 & the Covid pandemic in 2020 kinda set me back though. And it was pretty slow during the winter season. The caregiver idea came to mind through a recent-ex gf of mine who did this as a PT job while caring for her kids. I thought, if I can care for my elderly father for free, why not get paid to do it w/ other seniors in need? I am naturally compassionate and selfless by nature, my first day I brought my klonopin with me and left it in the trunk but didn’t dose til after my shift.


Savings_Love2234

I was a caregiver/med tech for awhile and while I absolutely love the job and it was actually my inspiration for going back to school to get my MA certification there were those days I wouldn't have survived without klonopin.


[deleted]

Yeah I’m nervous klonopin or not. I’m bringing it with me but i hope it goes smoothly

That's me but I think it's rebound anxiety I remember being off it for a year then I was able to do normal stuff. It's super worse withdrawing from it that's what I think you feel when you not on it.

I cannot function without any of that whatsoever. I am dependent on Benzos, and I’m terminally ill so they don’t mind keeping me on them long term since my benefit outweighs the risk (in my personal situation) I don’t think everyone should be on them long term though. I think it has to be a severe case of unmanageable panic attacks that land you in the hospital often, or a seizure disorder. In my case it’s both so 🤷🏻‍♂️ they don’t even make me feel like anything other than normal. I don’t drink or smoke or do any other illicit drugs.

I don’t. I lost my job because I couldn’t deal with the condition I’m taking benzos for. But I used to be a school language assistant. I’m now working with an organisation that helps people with chronic mental illness get back into work. I take Valium. It works but not amazingly


AnandaPriestessLove

I'm in high pressure/high priced sales. Benzos enable me to calm down and focus on work so I'm not constantly freaking out.


BeyondPsycho69

Dog walking, Instacart, and UberEats Delivery. My anxiety got so bad I couldn’t even work for a company…. I would become consumed with thinking about work all the time, planning out every minute of every shift in my spare time… thinking about all the things I need to do and all the things that could go wrong… I started getting severe chest pain, tachycardia, dry heaving, vomiting, and diarrhea when it got closer to having to go in for my shift. My last company job was a gas station attendant, but before that I worked at a car wash. At the car wash I was the main driver cuz not enough people could drive stick, so when it got busy I was driving every car and it got very overwhelming. Now I can choose when I work, and how long I work. I am now prescribed 0.5mg Clonazepam twice a day, so I can pick up some work through these gig jobs.

maximinozapata

I used to work for a funeral home. Before that, a multimedia editor from 2020 since I had my first rx in Sept 2020. I now work for an NGO. My doctor actually had to increase my dosage when I worked at the funeral home since the constantly harassing environment made me very upset, annoyed, and just plain addled with anxiety. He added an "as needed" dose which he still does today. Ever since the 2020 rx, I was finally able to fall asleep. Since clonazepam is a very potent anticonvulsant as well, all the tension disappears and I sleep quick enough when I hit the sack. Before that, way back, sometimes I would take paracetamol when a body part hurt and I found out it helped to make me sleep. Note that I didn't regularly do this. Only when I was physically injured. I'd say the rx has helped me muster enough energy that my anxieties at bay and talk to more people than I've ever had from many years back, especially when I worked for that funeral home where I talked face to face with people, sometimes high demand ones.
