Piss taker. 

eh? i took all mine out and stuck em in an empty vitamin supplement pot
Psycho: Your doctor should have started you on 20mg. I'd go back, if I were you. Why the fuck are they dropping you to 5mg, after two weeks? I'd see a different doctor, if I were you. Sounds like they want you to have a shit time.
She's my 'family doctor' I'm pretty used to and can speak openly with, but for some reason she went hard-ass on me this time (previously I've been able to suggest various different drugs without any kind of suspicion as she knows I've been on them before and know quite a bit about them). I'm calling her back and asking if I can at least bump the dose up to 15mg. If she says no I may go to another doctor, but I'd rather not.
I first presented an 8 week taper where the first week I'd take 20mg, then 15, 10, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and then none - and that wasn't aggressive enough a taper for her.
I am having a manifestly shit time, lorazepam produces awful withdrawals and I'm suddenly on half my previous dose, on a benzo which I subjectively find a little weaker than its number on the equivalency charts would suggest.
Sweet, ya get the extra 10mg PRN/use when needed? Cause itd be tempting if you had a big extra tub of them to binge, glad to hear its worked out for ya though
I've gone on plenty of binges with big tubs before but I think I've learned my lesson now and am determined to taper. Also, I don't find diazepam a particularly recreational benzo (by benzo standards, which are not very recreational to begin with) so I doubt it'll be a problem.
In Finland it's kinda strange how they can only sell the drugs in the original package sizes. Most come in either a variety of sizes or a reasonable one (eg. 30x10mg diazepam, 30x20mg temazepam), but for clonazepam, the sizes are ridiculous, and there is no way a doctor can prescribe you any less than the full amount. There are two package sizes:
150 x 0,5mg
100 x 2mg
That's the equivalent of 150 and 400 of those 10mg Valium pills.
I went on a bit of a stupidity spree with one of those 100 pill bottles once. Nothing too bad happened, but I did make a right fool of myself and waste a metric shit ton of money.
It's the same in Portugal & Spain . They will never split a box . Most boxes in Spain are 30 well the most popular which are Kern .
In Portugal it's Ratiopharm n they come in boxes of 60 .
Never have i had one split .
I find it a bit strange. Over here they'll split boxes all the time. I've been given as little as 5 pills at a time. Usually they'll only give you hypnotics for two weeks (and only enough to eat on 4 days/week) after which they're very reluctant to prescribe them. Anxiolytics they'll prescribe for longer time periods, but will usually only give you two weeks' medication, sometimes a month's worth.
Where the U.K ?
I've had a script for various benzo's for the last 17 years constantly despite correct practise . I get mine weekly . The most i ever got was 84x 10mg Diazepam dispensed in 24/24/36 mon/weds/Friday & 280ml of Temazepam elixir that's equivalent of 56x10mg tablets dispensed weekly . I was only in my early 20s as well .
Over the years i have managed to reduce down to 42x 5mg diaz a week & 210ml of Nitrazepam liquid a week that's 21/5mg tablets .
If i knew how over prescribed i was being at the time i would of had a case against the GMC for dangerous & irresopnsible prescribing of Controlled Drugs
flubromazepam seems to be sold out everywhere I looked, good sign for the future if I wanted some someday
