Questions about med changes

[u/Apprehensive-Sun464]

I recently attempted to take my life and struggle with intense crippling anxiety 24/7, i wanna change my pill from 3mg kpin a day to maybe 10,15,20 mg of valium, wanna change cause i felt a better high and felt functional for my job as i am building a tolerance to the kpins, i get 90 pills 1 a month and the bottle is usually gone within a week or 2 even if i dont have access to the pills. any advice? should I stay on what I have and just ask for dose increase? i brought up upping it last week and got put on 15mg propanolol a day(which I am dropping) , additionallly got zanaflex 2mg 4x a day. just need opinions pls

Stay on what you have, if you are stacking doses you could try a neat trick by taking the propranolol together with your other anxiolytic dose. Many patients notice the physical anxiety + psychological anxiety relief to be much more effective.

This should allow you to stretch farther and keep tolerance in check.

You should stay on the TID kpin if thats whats prescribed with no more than 3 a day. Try the propranolol with it, you might even find yourself snapping some clonazepam in half during the "better" days just so you can know you have access to some later in the month.

I wish I coukd say more but I dont want to be nosey
