No, you don't use a syringe. Just tablets. You first slowly switch over to the equivalent dose of Diazepam (example: 10mg Diazepam = 0.5mg Clonazepam) and then simply taper 5mg every 1-4 weeks depending upon how long you've been taking the benzodiazepines. Its usually reserved for the shorter acting, more potent anxiolytic benzodiazepine i.e. Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan. The idea is that Diazepam has a MUCH LONGER Half-life and eases the withdrawals; less severity of symptoms.

Well, I was reading this website that had this really neat method of syringe tapering.

Basically what it said was, when you go from 10mg to 9mg, you are only reducing by 10%, which your body can handle. But once you get down to 2mg (the smallest diazapam pill) you can only really reliably half it, so you are cutting your dose by 50% in one shot. So this guy reccomended when you reach the 2mg dose, you switch to a liquid formula. In this way, using the gradiations on a 1cc syringe, it's possible to reduce your dose as little as .04mg at a time, so you can continue a very slow taper.

Made a lot of sense to me.
 
LOL @ stims and hallucionogens and Tram withdrawals ... just try some proper opiate like H or Done for a few years on a daily basis and then,once/if you manage to quit, come back in here and tell us what you think.
 
Opiate withdrawal was horrible for me. But I've heard benzo withdrawal will send anyone to the psych ward.
 
can anyone list the specific withdrawal symptoms from amphetamines? same for benzos? i just wanna be totally clear on those two, i already know plenty about opiate withdrawal, that was quite a day for me lol.

As far as "losing my mind" trying to slowly taper off of my Xanax, I literally had. There are chunks of time I don't even remember, and I had many other withdrawal symptoms that were really, really bad. But as far as "losing my mind", I remember just a few things I did:

1) Put a large pot of water on the stove to boil, then went directly to my bedroom to take a nap. Woken up by smoke alarm.

2) Took entire shower with my glasses on, and wondered the whole time why everything was so blurry, was extremely confused and distraught. I didn't realize until I was out of the shower brushing my hair, and saw them on my face in the mirror.

3) Had to pee, pulled down pants, etc., sat on toilet, stood back up, pulled up pants, etc., left the room. A few minutes later when I had to pee really bad, I realized that I had never gone when I sat on the toilet.

4) Sent delusional/gibberish e-mails to a few people, randomly picking email addresses, *including* my psychiatrist (thank god). Evidently I made some comments regarding suicide, but none of it made any sense, and I've never been suicidal. Because I picked email addresses at random, one of these insane emails went to my Home Owner's Association president, one went to an old college Professor, and one went to a company I had purchased a pair of boots from.

When my psychiatrist got my email, he made contact with me and realized I was fully delusional. He arranged for an ambulance to come get me, and take me to my local hospital, (not the one he works at). To this day I have no idea what went on in the ER or what I was given to "bring me back", but when I was well again I told my doctor I couldn't try that again. He supported me, and I'm still on my regular dose. And again, all of this plus the physical symptoms happened on a slow taper.

Never again.
 
^ what benzos were you using , how much and how long if I may ask ... that certainly didn't sound very funny to me being on a few benzos like Alprazolam , Midazolam and Bromazepam , mainly
 
For me, benzo withdrawal (after 8 years of using them) was a walk in the park compared to opiates. Opiate withdrawal made me want to put a bullet in my head to put me out of my misery.

At that time, 1mg Xanax XR, 4x/day for 5 years.

I was able to get down to 3mg/day, and try not to take the 4th mg unless I'm in crisis.

I recall the delusions began on about day 7-10 of tapering. Prior to that I was having severe nausea, diarrhea, uncontrollable shaking, waking up in the middle of the night/couldn't go back to sleep, sobbing constantly over absolutely nothing, severe pins and needles.

I felt like an alcoholic might feel when you detox them. But when the delusions started, I knew I was in big, big trouble, and I wasn't able to do anything about it. I was non-functioning and couldn't drive. And no, I truly wouldn't wish what happened on anyone.
 
Tapering off opiates felt like a walk in the park; with exception to Methadone, compared to benzodiazepine withdrawals.
 
Benzos, or long-term tramadol or methadone use.

I cannot understate the severity of clonazepam/tramadol withdrawl. I have wanted to die or thought I was going to several times. And go figure I've still got a problem with both of those drugs.
 
i took about 3 to 5 bars a day for 5 years and on weekends i would take 10+ bars a day and got tried off being lost all the time and stopped no wds
now methodone took 300mg a week for three years mixing with lorcet and perocet and oxycontin had to go cold turkey worst 4 weeks of my life thought about killing myself
 
ive been reading about RLS and i thought to my self today i feel like i was getting Restless arms not leg..i would be trying to sleep and i have the need to do something with my arms i would grab another pillow squeeze it as hard as i can till i couldnt anymore until eventually it went away or i fel asleep

I really thought i was the only one because i did have a leg injury so i figured all the time spent not walking caausae it to go to my arms

anybody have a theory on why this could happen?
 
Alcohol+benzos+opiate+amphetamines.

Good while it lasted, but your fucking head feels like someone is kneading your brain like dough.

You want to drink more but you are in the middle of a hangover. Feeling like shit.
You are weaning off of you benzo, you are half way there. Feeling like shit.
You are depressed as shit because you are out of adderall. Feeling like shit.
You drink after your hangover is gone to mellow out the opiate w/d. Feeling like shit.
Your head is banging harder than hardcore porn, smoking a cig. Feeling like shit.

Thinking how the fuck did you live another day. Feeling like shit.
 
the depression and anxiety, two things that i used opiates to fight off, come back in full force when im sick.


the restless leg syndrome is a fucking bitch too, soooooo frustrating.

all of the physical stuff really sucks, but IMO the mindfuck is the worse part. it makes the physical stuff seem worse because you spend so much time concentrating on it and you cant hold a rational thought so, therefore you cant work or hold a valid relationship or function in life. your mind fucks into doing stupid shit. like goin on bluelight and reading about heroin over and over again... sick as fuck right now. talked to my guy a few hours ago and he said he'd be good. i got excited as hell. then he called back and said its no good. i got so depressed you would have thought my mother died... it's all bad, but i think that if i can find a way to shut my brain off, then the other stuff dont seem so bad. case in point, xanies!

Agreed...the physical pains(arm/leg/cramps/etc) suck, but that doesn't last for more than a few days. The mental head-fucking can last for quite some time. I find if I fast during days 1-3 of WD, and then start working out lightly, I can keep the depression and the overall UGH'ness of WD's at bay. Still sucks, but it's comparable to a common-cold.

To any of us who has gone through Benzo WD's...opiate WD's are a walk in the park...always look on the bright side!

THe worst for me is when you cant get anything so you take 8 or so immodiums and still have the shits. But wait it gets worse. Once every last bit of food is out of your system and you are still shitting large amount of pure acid. The feeling after you have shit about 10 or 15 times. Ass totally raw and im walking like i have a stick up my ass.

That sums it up for me....nothing else compares.

Haha wow... classic! ;)=D=D
 
Poppy pods all by themself was enough to get me in a psychward.

Whats funny is I thought that detoxes were to help you come off of drugs in a more pleasant manner, the fvckn darvocets they gave me didn't do shit.
I had to ask the nurse about a hundred times if they would allow my parents to drop some Kratom off. Of course they weren't having it but I would have much rather prefered Kratom then the shitty darvs I got in there.


It was a dual detox/psychward ftr.
 
hands down, HEROIN. beautiful drug to get high from. absolutely horrible drug to come off from... like most posters' on here, the sneezing, sweating, chills, and constant pain (back pain for me is the worst) the lack of sleep, and the constant diarrhea. the bowel movements were horrible cuz there was nothing but acid in ur stomach so acid in- acid out, imagine shitting acid 20 times in one day for 2 or 3 days, u pretty much have no asshole left cuz its been 'raw'd off...
