Temazepam Questions

The doses you're taking are beyond excessive

Do you realize what you're doing?

Thank you for your response, sincerely. Venrak yourself as well. I have never in my life been dependent physically on benzodiazepines nor have I ever sought after them. Yet since I have found Temazepam I have found a new desirable drug. Let me add in that my 'doses being beyond excessive' I with up most respect would like to tell you that when I said my opiate tolerance is high, I meant it. It's extremely high. 24mgs of Burprenorphine gives me a buzz for maybe 3 hours on a good day. My primary concern is how quickly is tolerance to Temazepam built and how severe and even possibly life threatening can they be. I have been an opiate/opiod user for 8 years, as well as many other recreational drugs. I have never enjoyed benzodiazepines except to come off of amphetamines and such. Please give me your inputs on the danger of the Temazepam tolerance and WD's and how quickly it will develop and how severe of a situation I may be dipping into. Please and thank you guys as always!

Bluntly as Ho-Chi put it, he's right. Do you have an idea of how devastating (and probably deadly) those W/D are going to be if you have a dip in your supply? And it can only go higher from here unless you do something about it man.

Think of tapering off the benzos, man. It might take a good while, but you will be better off.

What do you think?

Venrak; to respond to you asking me ' tapering off benzos ' and 'what do i think' ; I feel I am developing a very fast tolerance ONLY to Temazepam. It is the only benzodiazepine I use recreationaly. I have a large supply of Buprenorphine and Temazepam BUT; the supply of Temazepam could be cut off randomly and I have never experienced benzo WD's in my life. I am well aware that they are every bit as severe and dangerous but I have never experienced them. Can you guys please elaborate on the possible dangers and inevitable pain/wd's that will result from Temazepam abuse. 8(

WD basically happens because of the rebound CNS excitation after cessation of BZD, which can result in a slew of physical and psychological symptoms like seizure, muscle spasm and cramps, soreness, heart palpitations, nausea, anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, hallucinations, psychotic reactions, among others.

It's something you want to avoid and not trust to faith of your immunity.

Thank you for your response, appreciated sincerely. Yet I hate to ask can you be more specific among benzodiazepines; Temazepam abuse/WD, how severe and intense is it truly. Keep in mind I ALWAYS have my Buprenorphine to fall back on. Thanks for the ongoing support

 

[Venrak]

The fact that you have an opiate is irrelevant, really. You'll be withdrawing from a benzodiazepine. It's a problem in and of itself.

Withdrawal from benzodiazepines generally carry the same risk factors independant of the specific drug used, though there is some variation. It's so highly variable from person to person that it can't be accurately predicted.

The only course is to take the actions needed to reduce your dosage until you can jump off it.

Venrak speaks the truth.

Benzodiazepines usually have a much worse withdrawal syndrome than that of opiates - search around online for anecdotes: "temazepam withdrawal".

Good on you for listening to us. So many people would just ignore this advice.

 

[opiatekrzy]

Hey guys, i was under the impression that "most" benzos break down into oxazepam? is this true? i know klonopin for some odd reason doesnt break down into it like valium and xanax does? just wondering, if thats the case why is there RX oxazepam pills, if so what brand names are they under? im asking in totally ignorance about the oxazepam issue, any feedback wuld be cool

 

[AlphaMethylPhenyl]

xanax doesn't either

believe its only metabolite is 6-hydroxy-alprazolam

I totally understand where you guys are coming from except there's one thing I've been trying to relay; I am NOT benzodiazepine dependent physically; YET. I was merely stating that I know I already have one physical dependency and I've been slightly concerned about acquiring a second dependency. Temazepam is the only benzodiazepine I have EVER sought after in 8 years of narcotic use, and the range is wide from crack cocaine/cocaine/adderall (amp mixes)/opiates/IV all of the above. And that is my question in it self, how long does it take to develop a benzodiazepine tolerance? I feel myself eating these 30mg (Mylan 5050) capsules faster and faster by the day to achieve the same effect. Also I want you guys to know I am very thankful for ALL the positive feedback I receive on Bluelight; truly an amazing site. 'Harm Reduction' is an understatement. This site is wonderful. All in all, please guys *Temazepam Specifics* (How fast does tolerance build, how severe are WD's and how stupid of a choice would it be to use this drug frequently?) 8(

Hey I'd like to try and give you an accurate response but I'm fairly positive your best bet is to Wiki the answer. On the mid-right hand side of the page you will see metabolism/half-life/all types of information that you appear to be in search of Good luck!

Ho-Chi-Minh ; Sincerely thank you for your post's and concerns as well my dude :D.

Please listen; there is no guarantee that I will repeat myself:

-physical tolerance starts building after one week

-you are physically and mentally addicted to temazepam
-temazepam carries one of the worst withdrawal syndromes of any drug known to mankind
-on a scale of 1-10, for you, 10

I have a question: is there any other way I can communicate to you that what you're doing is beyond clinically retarded?

Well acquiring them is no longer an option at this point and I am going to force myself away from the Temazepam to the strongest of my mental ability. I believe you 200%. I was introduced to them the day before I created this thread. A bit over 72 hours ago I grabbed 53 30mg capsules. And I will be blatantly honest and clear, NO I did not acquire the levels at any one point to 'black out' but it was combination of 3 substances burprenorphine 32mgish, dexamp 120mg, and i grabbed the temazepams about two hours after those initial doses. 1500+mgs gone in roughly 72 hours. I have not been to my bed yet I did fall asleep yesterday from 1030am east time to 5pm. In my computer chair mind you, and woke up deciding that ingesting that remaining 5 (150mgs) was a fair idea. I have yet to sleep since that one nap in my chair in 5 days, physically i do not feel exerted as much as i have previously from amphetamines but i mentally and 'gut' feel that the boundary was pushed, far, and for all I know it could have been too far. I am already after this recent introduction to Temazepams; 'craving' 'seeking' benzodiazepines. please fill me in on the physical and mental wds. you sound well educated and i prefer BL personal experience over any googling or web searching. you scaled 1-10 at 10 so please elaborate

*note* my doses ranged from 90-150 each time. with all 53 capsules gone, on about 7 hours of 'computer chair napping' i'm concerned because of the out right physical danger not necessarily the WD's (wds yet). Please and thanks for response.

Well I felt it was appropriate that I take the time to adjust and tighten up my initial response to your statement that I have quoted here once more. The claims you made seemed to be very inaccurate. All around just misinformation. I was directly said to have a 10-10 Addiction mental/physical to Temazepam. I believe your statement was due to over information. And lack of true chemical property understandings. Based on all of my previous post's you should have acquired the realization that although it was a relatively new drug to me, I was taking a dose that 'held me'. I had yet to have developed ANY tolerance to benzodiazepines. If what you had told me was factual I'd love to say yes you were right sir; that being said, I felt NO WD's mental or physical.

^Have you discontinued for a long period of time?

^Have you discontinued for a long period of time?

Adequate time in my opinion, could be wrong. 14+ days. With zero intake of anything.

This is an extremely inappropriate and aggressive way to get your point of view across. Please play nice or don't contribute to this thread.

I expect better of you HCM.

PsychoPsychonaut, I've turned your post into your own thread for you in Other Drugs, as your question does not qualify as basic.

Benzodiazepine Affinity & Euphoria

 

[Pillseeker]

Its only prescribed in 7.5, 15, and 30mg pills, sparingly as its probably the most recreational benzo. You're taking twice the maximum dosage of a hypnotic benzo and don't expect to black out?

Looking back on this I'd also like to add that at 60mg as a starter dose I was taking the 'recreational dose' by doubling the prescribed dose. ;] I know my body and tolerances very well, well enough to know when to knock a dose up or down before I even take it.

 

[blackbeard1138]

Sorry if this is the wrong place for it, but I love temazepam. But it's always a gamble for me to take it. I only take the 30mg I am prescribed 30 times a month and sometimes I don't feel much at all. I know a tolerance can be built up. I also read that supplementing it with something like ativan, which I am on 1mg x2 daily, does nothing. So I haven't done that until now. Just took a temazy and .5mg of ativan. Think it will help me?

I may have a high tolerance as I've been on ativan for years.
