A technical question. Diazepam itself doesn't last that long, even though it has a long half life. It gets redistributed quickly.
A metabolite is desmethyldiazepam. When diazepam is converted to that drug, I guess that one starts with a whole duration of action, and since it's a continuous process ?? The same for oxazepam and temazepam, I'm not sure what that means.
Yeah, don't underestsimate what Solipsis says about F-Lam...honestly I don't think any triazolo benzo is suitable for more than occasional use, they seem to have way more problems with tolerance, dependence, side effects, ruining ones life, etc. Even once you adjust for potency.
Doesn't take much more than a week, maybe less, to become physically dependent on alprazolam.Xanax is easy to handle if you’re not a benzo junkie.
Xanax also has the added benefit of being the only alpha2-adrenergic agonist. That way when you start to feel like you are dying, rest assured. You are.Doesn't take much more than a week, maybe less, to become physically dependent on alprazolam.
To each their own, but IME you've got to be a lot more careful with triazolo's in general, and not just acute problems associated with intoxication, IME all the problems you run into with chronic benzo use are just amplified with triazolo's and they have a greater incidence of rebound effects, more severely impact sleep architecture, etc. I'm sure this is from both a combination of their binding profile and pharmacokinetics.
