I think you might be right. I got down to half my regular dose, and even to 1/3 for several days then back up to half and kind of took a pause. Felt some relief at successfully cutting back and couldnt quite regain the spirit that had got me started.
I talked with an addictions counselor and she thought that if I take a tiny amount on occasion when really jammed up that might be acceptable. Especially since Ive been through a fairly controlled use experience enough to where I see that daily use leads to much diminished benefit.
And then there is my therapist. Who thinks that Im not really opening up to my inner junk in sessions. When she suggested that I struggled with it then finally concluded she is right Im afraid of life and not facing it. Dealing with that is where real relief from depression is.
