I'm on benzos everyday since April '07. At first it was very potent stuff (clonazepam) from a Neurologist, then a psychiatrist just said "we'll knock 2 birds with one stone) and upped the dose.
This to say, with my almost decade long, struggle, I will admit, I use them half for neurological reasons and anxiolytic/insomnia reasons (goddamn you Firefox, it is a word). Don't get too worried, with RC benzos, depending on the quantity you have, you got major control over it. Taper away as soon as the honeymoon is over, or you will regret it. Worse than an opiate addiction (well on par with IV use when it comes to health risks). Watch out bro, you don't want to be on an infinitely long taper like i'm doing (Yeah BLighters, saw the psychiatrist, I have 10,5 and 2mg valiums here, I'm on 19mg a day for 2 weeks and then 18...it's on, no longer prolonging the inevitable with the 20mg dose a day where I stopped). Me and the psy have decided that all I need really since the benzos have long put the brakes on my anxiety issues that they did give me the break my brain needed to work on my anxiety levels myself, identify what cranks it up (I basically no longer read/listen to world news, even national ones I'm starting to phase out, if I want change I'll do it from the bottom up in my community, I gotta stop worrying about things I can't change, which I do now, what I can change is myself, first, and get rid of the poisons in my body, thankfully I wasn't on methadone more than 11 months, but it did make me gain 100 pounds and switching to suboxone stopped the weight gain but it has its own drawbacks (I need hydroxyzine or promethazine to endure the nausea it causes me) plus I'm getting cavities (which I'm getting fixed tomorrow) in my front lower teeth from 2 years 1/2 of putting these pills with their lemon and lime extracts (not sure what they were thinking, the American orange tasting pills with just citric acid wouldn't have caused this). People speaking about methadone fucking up teeth are full of shit, but suboxone directly impacts teeth due to the very nature of the pill itself.
Anyway, as I was saying me and my psy came to the conclusion I only needed benzos for my proven insomnia problem, and once I get under 10mg of Valium,I'm getting a Temazepam 30mg script prn. And I'm past finding benzos recreational.
To the point : strangely when I had the yellow 0.5 gelcaps of clonazolam, I only needed 2 to 3 a day to replace my valium which I was stocking up, it was great. When I tried the pills...nah, weaker. If it wasn't for Nordic countries being so teetotal (and often in advance by years in RC laws compared to other places for some reason...they had freakin 2c-t-7 banned before the "Erowid Accidents" to put it mildly over there in Scandinavia) I'd probably be using the yellow caps, I didn't have a problem where I thought I was taking too much with these, as they lasted almost all day, I'd take 2 when waking up, and another one in the evening, sometimes not. Those pink pills are weak, so it should be easy if disciplined enough to take a bit less, chummer.
