Harm Reduction How do you deal with travelling abroad when dependent on a controlled substance?

Oh, sorry. Wild valerian sounds cool but I don't know enough about Valerian harvesting to give you any advice. You're probably fine...but even as a guy with some experience wild harvesting I'm hesitant to give advice over the internet.

You're probably fine though. Tell you what, if you decide to go for it would you be willing to update us on the results? I wish I could get my hands on some wild valerian.

I might do so, it's an interesting idea, but I don't really like benzo/barb type highs and I don't want to poison myself for a high I don't even like :)
Maybe if I can research some more advice on how to brew it safely.
 
Well the trip went without hiccough, and it's been about 8 or 9 days since my last dose of xanax. It was fine. Spent most of the holiday at a beach bar sipping beer, which seemed like a good cure for any rebound anxiety. Ended up totally chilled the whole time, sleeping well and all that. Now I'm back home and back to the real world again. Interesting going through security, they pulled me aside and went through my bag. I had a load of plasters of different OTC tablets, plus one prescription medicine that my partner had packed, and they completely ignored them while going through my stuff

Good luck with that. I think I dodged a bullet thanks to relatively short use of about 7 weeks, before I started a rapid taper. The anticipation anxiety was by far the worst for me -- just worrying that some withdrawal might possibly start at any minute. Generally I had low level anxiety and trouble falling asleep. Then the probably days two and three of no xanax I felt like I had a bit of a cold. Now it's about getting used to real life and my normal base level of anxiety with I struggle to deal with sometimes. Xanax worked well for me, and I'm going to miss having that as an option throughout the day

I'm glad you detoxed and it gives me hope I will do the same. The anticipation of anxiety is worse no doubt but for me living in a stressful environment makes this task worse for me. I have giving up many things and habits in my life for the better but my past follows me. Some close won't let me forget my past. This is stressful in itself. I also am between a rock and a hard-case in another area which I don't see a way out. I suffer from EHS so living in a high wireless area is not an option for me. On a good note I have got better with time and distance and shielding besides healthy eating and a few supplements which take away oxidative stress I can go to these high radiation areas for a short time without getting ill. Back to the detoxing, I used to get the Teva clons which worked good for me but I am having trouble with the pharmacy getting this generic now. They have an indian brand which is not the same, much weaker and doesn't last as long per dose. So there's that. I can't keep switching generics and detox properly. Do you think I should try to get the brand name and use those to come off? I hate the pharmacies. They now have no respect for the customer. This adds to my anxiety too. Lat time I tried to detox I got down to 1 mg but stayed there than went back up again due to anxiety and panic attacks. Been 20 years on them too..
