stupid first world problems you're dealing with

Got at least three FWPs going on right now, but I'm too tired to whinge about them. Shit, I already forgot what one of them was.

With all the BS going on in my life, my doctor gave me a prescription for Xanax, which I guess means goodbye to even a glass of wine with dinner. That probably shouldn't bother me, right?

xanax and a small amount of alcohol = a really great night

amirite?!

xanax is almost as evil as ambien.

I told my best friend that I've been having casual sex with for 4 weeks now that this relationship isn't working. She was absolutely destroyed. We're living together next year in a nice big house. I don't want a relationship and it's already fucked up. I just want to stay friends with her and have sex with other women.

 

sorry i know this is THE MOST TRIVIAL problem of all but I'm drunk, this is the fwp thread and it's been eating away at me for the entire day now.

sorry dude, that sucks.

You would be surprised by how resilient these things are. It is possible that if you give it a few days/weeks to dry out that it will work again. It may even just need one or two parts as well.

You shouldn't fuck your friends. It gets messy.

after a couple weeks of daily use he'll def need to take it

hmm, the hard-hitting, short-acting 'knock-out' benzo's such as Xanax are not readily prescribed here, except for extreme sleep problems and severe PTSD. for mood-disorders (like the oh-so-american Generalized Anxiety Disorder) it is more common to see milder and longer-acting benzo's such as clonazepam and oxazepam. getting hooked on a short-acting benzo is very very bad news as you likely know, baph, but i hope it helps you in the short-term

Just to add to it, fast acting benzos like Ativan can actually lead to permanent seizure conditions, such as epilepsy.

I'm not a doctor Baph and not sure how intense your anxiety is, but I have fairly severe anxiety and choose to stay off the medications. The medicine just seems far worse than the anxiety. Many people can learn how to get rid of their anxiety with a bit of research and maybe some counseling.

Either way I wish you luck.

Yeah, the Xanax was prescribed mainly for short-term sleep problems more than anything, although I've had about four significant (ie, feels like a fucking heart attack with skyrocketing blood pressure when my bp is usually mostly normal) panic attacks in the last month (I've only had maybe one attack in my life before all this).

I think the doc wants me to get a few nights of 8hr sleep for the first time ever. I don't have a long-term, renewable prescription, although there's 24 pills in the bottle.

I've been doing some yoga, eating better, laying off caffeine and booze, trying to do some jogging, etc., but tbqh I still feel like my life is goddamn fucked beyond repair.

He also knows I hate taking meds and I put up a fight when he told me to take simple fucking naproxen for some severe pain/inflammation a few months back.

I doubt I'll take this shit for more than a few days if I can help it.

Slept pretty well last night though.

Ah I see! That's alright then. I thought it was specifically for your anxiety.

My doctor has prescribed me benzos for the exact same reason as you (sleep).

Given your accident and stuff recently it's no wonder you're anxious!

There are lots of natural ways to induce sleepiness and relieve anxiety.

Yeah, I've tried stuff like valerian extract, herbal teas, melatonin, omega 3s/krill oil, the aforementioned diet and exercise and yoga. That stuff usually works but it sort of isn't at the moment.

Maybe I'm just doing the wrong thing. Maybe I just need a disgusting burger and huge beer after a few weeks of kefir and salads, lol

Well, when you want to fall asleep you should eat something high in fat like bacon or some meat loaf. You should try drinking bulletproof coffee with grassfed unsalted butter (kerry gold is best) & MCT oil/coconut oil to give your body the adequate amounts of fat that it needs during the day so that you don't go to bed hungry (don't drink it too late in the day if you are sensitive. 2pm is best). Most people think you are supposed to avoid fat, but that isn't true. It is the source of the fat that is necessary to regulate, but fat is really good for you and your body needs it. Also, don't take the normal dosage of melatonin (usually 3 mgs) as you only need to take about 150 micrograms for it to be effective. Taking melatonin too frequently and in too high of a dosage will inhibit your body's own production of it. To produce melatonin your body need 100% darkness as well so make sure that you don't have any light in your bedroom if possible. (blue lights are the worst at disturbing your body's need for darkness so if you have a blue led clock or something throw it away). Don't use your phone or ipad or whatever in bed either.

You can also take L-ornithine(1 pill), Potassium(400mgs), and Magnesium (500 mgs or so) before bed. That is what I take at least. You can also take L-tryptophan which I highly recommend if you are having stress and sleep issues. I take 5HTP because I bought it before I knew about L-tryptophan. Both work, but LT is stronger. There is a possible link between high levels of L-tryptophan in the blood and heart problems so don't take it every night or take it in small doses if it is necessary for you to sleep/relax. It is for the most part safe though.

Oh, yeah, and you can drink 1-2 tblspoons of sea salt/himalayan salt in the morning. It helps your body wake up without exhausting your adrenal system so you have more energy.
