I've been taking Clonazepam .25mg every day for the last 20 days, and I'm wondering what's the best way to taper off it safely? Also, how long will it stay in my system once I stop taking it? I'm really concerned about doing this the right way and would love your guidance.

Possible Causes*

  1. Intestinal Parasitic Infection: The presence of worms in your stool suggests an intestinal parasitic infection, such as pinworms, hookworms, or roundworms.
  2. Anal Itching (Pruritus Ani): Anal itching can be caused by various factors, including intestinal parasites, skin irritation, or anal gland infections.

Recommendations

  1. Consult a Healthcare Professional: Schedule an appointment with a gastroenterologist or primary care physician to discuss your symptoms and determine the underlying cause.
  2. Stool Tests: Your healthcare provider may order stool tests to confirm the presence of intestinal parasites and identify the type of parasite.
  3. Treatment: Depending on the diagnosis, your healthcare provider may prescribe medications to treat the intestinal parasitic infection.
  4. Practice Good Hygiene: To prevent the spread of infection and alleviate anal itching:
    • Wash your hands regularly, especially after using the bathroom.
    • Keep the anal area clean and dry.
    • Avoid scratching the anal area to prevent further irritation.
  5. Dietary Changes: Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help support your overall health and immune system.

I'm experiencing something kinda strange: I wake up in the middle of the night and find myself masturbating, but it's like I'm only half-aware while it's happening.

I don't feel the urge or masturbate during the day at allI've stopped doing that since a year ago because I'm trying to focus on my studies and stay out of relationships. It's got me feeling pretty down. I really want to stop this unconscious night-time habit. Any advice on what might be happening and how I can manage it?
