Mr. Scott: I took oxazepam (30mg once per day) to help me get off klonopin. It was not prescribed to me. It helped, but it was still hell.
I didn't initially want to get off klonopin myself. This was the third time of trying at the insistence of my doctor. I had just started feeling well, and I wanted to wait a bit before I quit klonopin. But then I figured, I want to get off them eventually, so why not now? I now have oxazepam prescribed to me. I don't see any difference between this and klonopin.
My wish was to get off of all benzos completely. Why? Severe lack of creativity. Benzos numb the mind.
I am a musician that can't write a song. I am a writer that can't even start a screenplay. I am a photographer in a three year rut. I have all these talents that have just fallen by the wayside.
Because of this "left brain freeze," I don't even feel like pursuing any of these....things. I am also a cunning linguist that just used the word "things."
Benzos don't make me a total zombie. Just a half zombie.
