I've been dropping from 7 to 6 by alternating a 5mg pill and 2 2mg pills every other night since the 13th. Its been rough. I'm getting more physical withdrawal side effects now than I was before

I don't think I need to tell you how bad of an idea speed would be during tranquilizer withdrawal. Bad idea man. Hope things are going well for ya!
Diazepam is not legal in the UK it is under class c of the misuse of the drug act. And buying them online is not a good idea IMO you just don't know what's in them
I ended up throwing it away.
Hows it going now? are you feeling any better?
I'm on 2.5mg a day at the moment (kind of) I cheated a couple days ago and took 5mg.... it made me feel like id taken way more though...that giddy relaxed drunk feeling of taking about 40mg.. my tolerance must be coming down a lot.
Really struggling with depression though to the point I dont want to go into work or do anything I just want to stay in bed and hide from the world.

I'm about 1.5 months away from being 1 year clean from benzos after having used them just about every single day since 2005 (I could literally count the number of days that I did not take a benzo in those 8 years on 1 hand) and I'm so very glad that I made the decision to get off of them, although I didn't even really plan on staying off of them.
I had just gotten my monthly valium prescription filled a few days before going into detox, but I was going to detox for opiates and figure I would just 'play ball' with them and take the librium they gave me in there for my benzo withdrawal and just go back to taking my valium once I got out of there and just work on being clean from opiates.
Since the librium dose was a lot higher than the equal amount of valium I was taking it built up in me enough over those 5 days in detox where I didn't start to feel the benzo withdrawals for about a week after being discharged from there, and since I didn't know if I would ever have a week clean from benzos again I figured I would see how it went.
After that week the withdrawals continued to get worse each day and then peaked at around the 2 week mark (I knew that I had been celebrating too early when I wasn't feeling that bad after a week of no benzos) but I wasn't going to give in that easily as I hated being dependant on benzos as it completely sucked having to have my prescription accounted for at all times, and even worse being in a state like NY where they give zero refills on benzos even though it's scheduling says otherwise, so I just wanted to be free from them since unlike opiates I could die if I ran out of them.
It's just a great liberating feeling to be able to up and go if ever I came across such a scenario, and not have to have a bottle of pills on me in order for me to do so, or have to worry about the next prescription if I were to be in an ares where I didn't have a psychiatrist I could see, and even if I did I would still have to worry about getting a script filled.
Unfortunately this great feat was overshadowed by some opiate relapses, and to everyone close to me I might as well have not quit the benzos at all, but I did it for me and that's all that matters, right?

Hey there. Ive been on benzo for more than 8 years and also on codeine.
Mu codeine intake are more to the cough syrup they called it here in asia. It has quitelysimilar effect as heroin . Juz could i say 7times lower than it. It really hard to stop the addiction man.. It sure mess u up... Ull get diarrhea if u stop. No shit.!! U will .! Those watery types. And i always pop 15mg midazolam 10 pieces at one go. When i cld feel tge codeine acting up as morphine. It really boost the hell out of u. But if ur tolerance aint that strong i really suggest that u wldnt. U are juz date raping urself. I really want to kick this f*** habit. It mess me up. I loss weight alot. And my fav benzo are the nitrazepam. And xanax. Those 0.5 suck ass. 1mg makes me have the parachute to fly. Im getting married soon. If i dun stop it def mess me worst. And further more its gwtting more diff to get my hands on this prescription. And those no balls dctr are doing day light robbery after laws are are implemented on painkillers and benzo. I sure need advise man.. I half dead here. And juz got my hand fix of xanax o.5mg 10pcs. And it doesnt effect have any effect on me.

I don't remember my last post in this thread. But i've been one to constantly have anxiety due to ptsd and GAD. so i'm always anxious. So i've finally found a doctor who is willing to prescribe me valium for me to take everyday if i wanted to. But i've been taking it for like 5 months, and sometimes I miss days since diazepam has such a long half life. and also when I don't go out, I don't feel the need to use it, if i'm just going to be watching TV or on the computer listening to music. Unfortunately, sometimes the diazepam builds up in my system, so when I take a pill, it makes me sleepy. That's why i like taking 2 or 3 day breaks, So whenever I go to see here, I usually still have like 10 or 15 pills left. And now that she decided to prescribe me 60 a month so I can skip a month in seeing her. I have a bunch of valiums that my friends keep calling me, wanting some.

I'm still stuck... Just decided to split my dosing to three times a day today... lets see how this goes.
I've been at 7mg for too long and I've just been stuck there. Now that my doctor has switched me to the 2mg pills, I *HAVE* to get to 6mg because there is a 90 pill quantity limit with the 2mg pills.
I don't understand why I've hit such a wall. I stopped drinking and smoking back in September when I started my taper, my diet is better (I even make my own fruit and vegetable smoothies a few times a week now so I can make sure I'm getting the nutrients that I need)... Yet my anxiety is unrelenting. Its frustrating really.
I told my therapist the other day that when my year mark comes around on 9/17, I am seriously considering suicide. I have had anxiety issues since 04... I'll be 30 in October which will mean that I've spent a third of my life in anxious hell. I'm over it. If things don't start improving, I won't be here much longer.

From everything I've read, talked to others that have experienced symtoms about benzo's & how bad it is to feel normal again after months or even years depending on how bad a habit each person has had, opiate addiction recovery seems like a walk in the park compared to benzo's.........
Stay focused on the task at hand & stay positive & eventually everything will return to normal & please don't do anything drastic because life will always have its up & downs.......
I can't begin to understand the difficulties you're going thru........God bless & good luck!

Yeah its funny that I avoided meth and heroin because of their addictive qualities yet I let myself get prescribed benzos... >_>
I'm doing better now... Ish... My doctor has put me on 7.5mg for the next month (its a bump up from 7 but she had to because my insurance only lets me have 90 2mg pills a month so we had to go back to 5mg pills) - 2.5mg at morning and at night and 1.25mg during the day is what I'm going to try for though. I really don't want to go up and since I've been working on going from 7 down to 6, 6.25mg should be doable.

In 2007 to 2010 I was prescribed diazipan, I tried many diffrent ways and combination to try n leave these things behind, nothing worked, cold turky was just to much, just to add, I had cold turky of 10 year's of herion abused and that was hell, but the diazipan just couldn't do it, eventually I swaped doctors told them my situation and they alllowed my to reduce from 60 mill a day at my own pace, the taper took about 4 mounth to get down to splitting a 2mill tablet half morning half night. Tbh it was reaaly easy I suffered maybee 2 nights of limbo sleep, a couple of week were I couldn't regulate my body temps, not hot or cold sweats, and that was it. So imho diazipan tapers when done correctly with strict will power 2as needed are one of the best, 2 week later back in the gym, back to work, ect, there are the best tapers, it lead to me getting a job in the substance miss use field. In a nut shell there one of the best to taper of, try not to smoke cannabis thou during this time, hope it helps
