Like Richard Pryor said (with his RP expression) I done cocaine everyday for ten years and I ain't hooked.
I talked to my doc about my clonazepam. I asked, so what's the deal with benzophobes? He said, addiction, tolerance and there's some evidence that it contributes to dementia (not the right word but old people brain problems. He said he thought about dropping my dose when I got on disability. I'll talk to him more about it.
He added an anticholinergic, Benztropine. Treats two things, Parkinsons and Dystonia. I'm Dystonia and I'm very anxious to see if this works. I was on Amitriptyline for years and it had heavy anticholinergic effects and I can tell you, they aren't pleasant. But I'll cope if I can get my back back.
How people treat you is their karma
How you react is yours.
