The Benzodiazepine Thread v. IV

Status
Not open for further replies.
Yeah from what I've seen the oval pills with a single score are either .25, .5 or 1 mg. I think part of Xanax's popularity comes from the fact they're oddly shaped and look cool. I used to love the feeling of a handful of bars.
 
Dang I wouldn't mind Xanax or two for these shitty withdrawals I'm yet again trying to get through, opiate not benzo. 24 hours since last dose and counting..
 
Which Opi Cass? Are you withdrawing by choice?

I hope its's not going to be too rough for you mate.

I know you're sick of hearing it, but be careful with the beznos Indy. They are evil and you seem too good a bloke to get addicted to them, especially Xanax. Sounds like you might be close to becoming physically dependant is all. Stay safe, strong and live mate :-)
 
ha, had half a carton of peroni and 3mg of alpraz last night, fuck knows what i got up too...broken glass in the bathroom and pathetic messages to crushes.

broke my month long run of sobriety which im pissed about, on a monday too. gonna drink the rest of these beers and pass out! happy days
 
Thanks oxy. I'm coming off heroin and poppy tea, mostly heroin though. I've spent probably 2/3 - 3/4 of the last 3 months in withdrawal because I've been trying to get clean but have always failed at some point. About 3 weeks ago I went 2 weeks without heroin and had got myself down to 2 x 50gm poppy washes a day which is so close to being clean but then I got paid and so here I am again trying to get clean. I'm 48 hours in now and boy do I feel like shit, this morning was one of the lowest I have been in a long long time, I'm trying to go cold turkey this time because tapering on poppy tea hasn't been working, I get 1 - 2 weeks in and when I get paid I crack and end up using. So stupid. After throwing up twice this morning at work and generally just looking like a total wreck my boss told me to take the rest of the week off so going to plan I can use it to get over the worst of cold turkey withdrawal. Fuck me I am always surprised with how brutal opiate withdrawal is, especially now that I've moved onto IV. If I don't make it this time I'm probably going to go back on suboxone which I really don't want to do but I have to do something, I can't keep livin like this. But all in all I'm ok, im a big boy and I can do it. And yeah some benzos would be nice but after goin through god awful withdrawal from a diazepam habit (at the same time as suboxone withdrawal, so unbelieveably cruel) a few months ago I just can't go back there. Benzo withdrawal is shockingly bad, the headaches, dry eyes, anxiety and the sheer length of withdrawal make it easily as bad as opiate withdrawal. I highly highly stress to anyone flirting with benzo addiction not to go there, its totally not worth it. Any gains you made in your life by using benzos will be stripped away and more when it comes time to get off them, benzo addiction is a silent ninja that seems all good and safe until they're not their anymore.
 
had the craziest time once with benzo + alcohol a while ago. Popped 3 mgs, drank one beer. Bits of memory here and there and the next thing I know is that it's two days later, all the beer's gone, all my black label's gone. Seems I had defaced some property, tripped in the rain many times, stole money from my parents in front of them, had a run in with the cops, wrote very nasty messages to myself...

would definitely recommend to keep the alcohol locked away D:
 
I've been using temazepam for occasional use lately, for sleep or course, and occasional potentiator.

Pretty disapointed with results really, need 20mg to get to sleep nice and early, it's not like I have a benzo tolerance or anything.

Temaz has never worked on me. Most of the standard sleeping pills don't work either. My doctor could never tell me why

Temazepam has never worked for me either (and I have taken decent sized doses 100-300mg). And the commonly prescribed/recommended sleeping medications like Stilnox, Dozile, etc. have never worked for me either and have given me bizarre side effects like brain zaps and weird states of mind. My girlfriend gets the same reaction, particularly from Stilnox - which is really weird, so we just steer clear from those sleep aids.

Also, I have been scripted Seroquel for years, but never take it. Though, in the past I have busted a 100mg tablet into quarters and taken 25-50mg when I have been desperate for sleep and it was reasonably effective though it just feels like some kind of dirty chemical inebriation. Yuck. Never take it anymore though - not after it exacerbated my withdrawal symptoms ten-fold when I took it, relatively early into a bupe kick, to try and get some desperately desired sleep. That was not fun!

Anyway, back to benzos..

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy it a more than diazepam, I like how it kicks in quicker.

I find diazepam kicks in quickly, though I always dose my benzodiazepines sublingually which obviously effects the onset time. I find diazepam kicks in roughly as quickly as alprazolam, for me anyway, at least when taken sublingually. I would take Valium over temazepam any day - and since getting over my habit on the Xanax (which was always my preferred benzo) and all benzos for that matter, I now greatly prefer diazepam as it is more "relaxing" and I get much longer lasting anxiety relief and there is the added bonus of not waking up in hospital or a holding cell after doing something ridiculous after taking too much alprazolam. The amount of people I met in jail that were there for things that they did on Xanax that they didn't remember was just insane.

Be safe kids.

Hi all. I've been taking clonazepam on and off for the past couple of years, no more than 2 mgs as needed. I've definitely noticed that these doses don't affect me as much these days (overindulgence, perhaps). I typically use it for presentations, job interviews etc. (Have G.A.D. and Social Phobia). I've tried Lyrica, too expensive and ineffective. Can my psych prescribe me beta blockers or clonidine? I obviously don't want to be relying on benzos forever. Any advice appreciated

Firstly, your post looks beautiful. Nice formatting ;)

Secondly, it's a slippery slope to be saying what any drug is meant to be used for. Your argument can easily be used for opiates, stimulants, and many other drugs too. It's a fact of life that any abusable drug will be abused.

Divine moments i could,nt agree more.That blanket comment idiots!!! theres no need for that its like blowing in the wind it,s aimed at nobody specificly .Could you please keep your ignoranous blowing in the wind comments to yourself.Were here to help each otther not degrade each other theres a world of difference!!!:p
 
Anything? Just want to know whether my psych can legitimately prescribe a beta blocker or clonidine, or similar meds. Off label, perhaps?
 
your doc could prescribe you a beta-blocker, but it wouldn't have to be off label as they are prescribed for anxiety issues - sometimes used as a first line defense before benzodiazepines, etc. i'm on atenolol for high BP but it does help with anxiety on top of controlling my blood pressure.

i'd personally see your GP about the beta blocker rather than your psych, though i've had a psych prescribe them to me.
 
Thanks tentram, appreciate the advice. I've used Inderal before, seemed semi- effective for performance anxiety. Has the advantage over benzos in that it doesn't turn you into a zombified, cloud-headed moron. I've done the whole SSRI/MAOI/CBT/ACT route, all ineffective. Cheers again.
