The bean may be a boon, as in mucuna pruriens. L-dopa. Powder form, 5 g daily, (or 2 tsp if no scale)
Thus hoping to aid any L-dopa to wriggle its way from the periphery into the brain

Some oolong tea & additional ECGC supplements to both aid in COMT inhibition for additional Ldopa CNS uptake

Added cocoa powder, 3 g GABA split up in 2 x 1.5g doses throughout day. Hoping the L-theanine in the oolong green tea will aid in GABA passing the BBB, with their own added potential benefit.
Oh, 2 grams of n-3 for good measure ;-)

So, it sounds like a pasta party chef flinging fettuccine against his stained red and white tiled kitchen.
Hope something sticks, I'll report back, if interested

And of course, in the ever present vein if harm reduction, please chime in if you see something blaringly awry.
 
so I take it you are trying to ease benzo withdrawls? thats the best I could make out of your dr. seussesque post.
 
The bean is for the ldopa and dopamine,
The L dopa should acclimate itself fine, the remaining dopmaine may be shunted with the help of COMT from green tea (or extract) tis all to aid in CNS acclimation of the remaining dopamine past he BBB. More bang for mybuck, thus far, I feel a bit less social anxiety and conversations tend to be more.. enjoyable... with just the bean alone.
Not to mention the antioxidant effects from glutathione are added bonuses.

Basically the only thing the ever helped with benzo w/d was coke, which is an indirect agonist on dopamine.
I'd rather not go down that road again. And I am not sure the full method of velvet beans alleged pharmacology, if any.

The GABA and Lthenaine are stuff just I keep around regularly and may aid with the w/d, which at this point is mild.

Any-case, i feel definitive good benefits from my initial experiment and wanted to
1) share
2) and open the floors for examination, justly (or unjust) bashing, and maybe some ideas for possibly enhancing/improving my current regimen, if you'd be so kinD...

Thanks

cocaine used for benzo WD? Seems like it would make things even worse.

Sounds like a nightmare.

You have a really neat way of expressing yourself OP and I'm sure your a really smart and nice person.

That being said, am I having some kind of seizure and/or stupidity, or is the OP basically indecipherable?
 
Different I know, but it was during a very bad benzo w/d that I was offered small amt of coke, I'm sure it wan't meant to alleviate the benzo w/d, but that's exactly what it did.

Since then I have been in search of something a bit more benign.

Any suggestions are welcome, including non mucuna/dopa related.

Thanks
 
Solid idea chum, now let us know how it's works for ya. Aye, and grand sailor would give his wooden fecking leg for a workable benzo w/d kit!! ;)
 
OK:
A low dose coke eradicated some horrible benzo w/d a while back, yes, surprise, surprise. And it had repeatability.
I obviously dont want to use incrementally larger doses of coke just to titrate down from benzos. In fact i dont really like using it at all.

Trying to prevent a large white monkey on my back, ugh-ugh. (Too Dr. seussesque?)
Kinda defeats the purpose of harm reduction. agreed?

So again,
Any suggestions are welcome, including non mucuna/dopa related methods.
I am also very curious if anyone has ever used only low does cocaine, if thats even possible ;-) to wean of downers, or benzos inparticular. I understand it is a slippery slope, so success stories are more useful for my purposes.
 
I just found that an ADD thread states some folks had success with amphetamines and the like to wean from benzos, but no mention of cocaine, which is fine by me.

So it may simply be the stimulant effects that led to the alleviation of the benzo w/d, not necessarily specified to cocaine. Althogu cofee does nothing to help.
Hence the slight success from mucuna pruriens, a more natural approach.

**Brings up the potential of Khat for similar use though, doesn't it? Hmmm.

NO, not me...lol!

It takes away the chills and mediates your frustration or restless. BUT, then yad have to pop a handful of valium to come down off the coke, three days later, with sore cock muscles, (from all the coitus of course).

This would of course throw a wrench in your machine. But for someone who doesn't think much of benzo's, this is not a problem. Of course depending on how much and how long the benzo use was.)
