Oddly enough the etizest tabs seem slightly less potent to me compared to the intas.
Which likely means they are pretty similar. I do like how Etizest is easier to break in half, as when I do take Etizolam I really only try to take .25 to .50 at most. Not using them to get high.
One thing I have noticed is that Etizolam used to reduce my desire to consume alcohol quite a bit, now it doesn't. Could very well be psychological though or benzos making me not care and thus just rationalizing easier. I have a long weekend which I am trying to use to cut back on my drinking intake, plan on trying to use the Etizolam for sleep. Obviously, drinking and benzos are dangerous, but I have had on and off issues with downers for quite some time and appear to have a naturally high tolerance as it is.
When it comes to Etizolam I only order 3 blisters at the most, having a ton of benzos around isn't always the smartest. I am not one to just eat a ton and blackout, but I do fall into maintenance routines pretty easily. Someday, I hope a non addictive benzo is invented because they do help with my general anxiety. However, I do not want to use them for a long time because I know my past history leads me to fall into dependence.
Also, one should at the very least always plan on using the last 10 to taper off, just to be safe. I find this pretty easy to do with etizolam. Especially, if one sticks close to a schedule. Morning, afternoon, evening, night for example. Then one just needs to start cutting back on the frequency taken. I do have to seem, that withdrawal seems easier then compared to other Benzos... however, I should note that I am nowhere near as familiar with benzo withdrawal then I am with opiate and alcohol withdrawal. I have experienced a few times. Though. Etizolam withdrawal seems to be shorter then compared to most.
Also, just for the sake of clarity, I have never used the stuff longer then a month or so, except for one occasion where I used it along with phenibut and alcohol (which was really stupid and not fun to come off of).
Also, anyone have any links on the serotonin releasing/SNRI effects? I haven't heard about this, nor noticed it.
