10mg is the highest dose of that drug or equivilent to any other benzo I've ever taken.
I'm used to low to medium sized benzo doses, i.e 5-15mg of diazepam, no more than 20mg at once, no more than 40mg in 24 hours.
It's just that i happened to acquire some 2.5 mg lorazpepam tabs! - so i thought i'd experiment.
So 10 of lorazepam didn't "feel" like as much as it was. Comparable to 40mg of temazepam actually. No sedation like "i MUST sleep" just a totally anxiety free time. Very pronounced muscle relaxation, didn't feel very messy from the dose like falling over or anything like that. Got very comfy in bed & fell asleep for way too long. That's it.
No thing to write home about except an epiphany that now benzos like diazepam, lorazpam, bromazepam, are only for therapeutic purposes mostly like extremely overbearing days of excess anxiety & in bad cases like feeling so restless you feel "uncomfy in your own skin". Agitation. Extremely stressfull events. Terriible alcohol hangovers, (i mostly avoid alcohol now tho, unless on long social periods) .Comedowns in the occasion of using stimulants.
Fundamentally Do not take anxiolytics "for the sake of it" so as to insure this medicine will be in the house should you need them. There's no need for large quantities of benzos: like more than between 14 & 56 ( half a box or two )
That said Hypnotic benzodiazepines like Temazepam & Nitrazepam can, to a person non - naieve to benzos in general, are the best benzos for recreational effects; Diazepam has this quality in high enough doses, lorazepam is said to & does but personally did not)
I've yet to try Nitrazepams full family though: flunitrazepam ( Rohypnol! ) i can get it ( not sourcing ) from a friend in belgium, but i've yet to ask him for some. 'bout time i say ; ) ! Ditto lorprazolam, lorprazolam, lormetazepam & finanlly midazolam. The 3 L's are available on nhs script but i've had everything but those. Can't get them anywhere else. Midazolam & Triazolam are hypnotic benzos i've yet to try & cannot get.
In summary my favourite benzo is still diazepam & oxazepam. Nice strong effects from nitrazepam too.
