I took Klonopin for quite a while. It worked until it didn't. Then I moved to vodka which was a disaster.
Have been on xanax for 2-3 yrs, is there anything you wish to know?

I was on very low dose klonopin for a year, took it intermittently, never daily.
Became an alcoholic (raging) in recent months and am hoping benzos will help with w/d as I plan my exit.

As a general word of precaution, Xanax or any other benzos for that matter work differently on different people. It sounds you have only used benzos intermittently before so I wouldn't recommend a dose higher than 1-2mg if you are using it to get the courage to CTB. When I first took it, 0.5 mg was enough keep me calm and gave me a good night sleep. I am have now updosed to 1.5mg. I suggest you try different dosages to see which one fits you the best given you have been using alcohol which affects the same GABA-a receptors as with benzos. Xanax is stronger than Kpin you took before and has a shorter half life. Also since you are getting benzos from an unknown source, I would be very careful. Good luck and if you have any more questions, feel free to pm me.

Be very careful. It is common practice nowadays for scammers to use pill presses to manufacture lookalike Xanax, painkillers, etc that look like the real deal, correct markings and all, but instead of containing benzos, oxycodone, or whatever they claim to have, they actually contain fentanyl or even its stronger cousin carfentanyl. A large portion of the "opioid epidemic" is actually OD's from these counterfeit pills ordered online. They're actually so strong that the Narcan antidote that first responders carry won't even reverse the effects.
I guess if you don't care about OD'ing, then it wouldn't matter as much, but honestly, I would be pissed if I paid for one thing and ended up getting scammed to death.

yeah klonopin will help with alcohol withdrawal, klonopin is used as a seizure med too so it will stave those off and also has an extremely long half life so its pretty much perfect for alcohol withdrawal just dont run out because the withdrawal from benzos are much worse than alcohol in their own right.
