I don't know if you use the word swim on this website, but i have been taking a few benzos lately in the past week or so, mainly valium and some xanax. However i don't like become addicted to any kind of drug so i'm taking a break for a little while but i have noticed my hearing seems to be alot louder and i seem to be a lot more jumpy when i hear noises. I know drugs like stimulants+/psychadelics sleep deprivation can make people hear things very loud and such but i was wondering if benzos possibly could do the same, specifically valium, please share if you have any information
 
Hi. Yes, benzos can do a lot of weird things to you. It's a good thing you're trying to stay away from addiction. Welcome to bluelight ;)
 
yeah every drug can do a lot of weird things, but specifically talking about benzos they mainly obviously reduce my anxiety, make me a little sluggish (harder to walk) a bit of memory loss, and currently a little depressed god damnit i'm staying away from it for awhile
 
Its very interesting you bring up enhanced hearing. I just recently read an article by Columbia psychiatrist talking about benzodiazapines effects on blood flow in the inner ear. It mentioned a rare side effect of the distortion of noises. It didn't mention enhancing, but I assume that is also a possibility.

To answer your very first question, we do not use swim here. Welcome my friend
 
What's swim? Anyway, I'm prescribed clonzepam and haven't noticed any hearing changes myself, but it's possible. I know they can make me irritable or sad/depressed if I take a lot of them for more than three days in a row, though, so I learned my lesson on that one a long time ago, haha.
 
SWIM is something used on other forums. Bluelight prohibits the use of "SWIM". It's supposed to stand for "someone who isn't me" in order to "avoid self incrimination". In reality, all it does it make posts really hard to read. In the eyes of anybody with half a brain, "SWIM" means "someone who is me".
 
Thank God that the use of SWIM isn't allowed on here as I certainly wouldn't come here if it was, so annoying to read posts o forums where it is used.

I suffer terribly with hearing distortion whilst going through withdrawals, almost like my ears have popped like when your on a plane or you get water stuck in your ears after going swimming (no pun intended) but this seems to last from pretty much just after i wake up until the evening which is quite annoying/uncomfortable.

Also to add to the SWIM debate, there is another inferior humourless forum (which i happened to be banned from!) that uses this ridiculous term, as if to think it helps avoid self incrimination is as ludicrous as that forum itself. SWIM, SWIY , MY PET MONKEY etc etc.. F***ing imbeciles!

Thank God for Bluelight. :)
