Best RC benzos for GBL withdrawal

So I'm in for a rough ride from Wedoes day onwards. Has anybody used RC benzos with any success to stave off the nasty withdrawals of GBL? Advice and opinions please.
 
I actually don't think benzos make all that much difference to GBL w/d (wrong GABA receptor afaik). Personally I'd much rather take the next few days to do a rapid taper. Is what I've always done after extended periods of GBL use and never really got any w/d that way.
 
though technically not an rc nor a benzo, apparently picamilon acts on the same receptors as G. curious if anyone has any experience with it?
 
Etizolam is probably the worst one you could use imo, you want whatever has the longest half-life and requires the least redosing really.

I was talking about tapering with my key worker the other day and it just doesn't work for me. If I cut my dose from 2.5 ml to 2 ml then I just end up dosing sooner and eventually get to the point where I'm knocking tables over in the local.

this is interesting. I searched for Etizolam ban, & found this from January - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-25745824

I'll have to re-read that when my mind slows down a bit, it all seemed very rambly without any definate conclusions as to what might happen to etiz. I didn't know that the NHS used O-dt either before now, strange that it never appears on tor sites with that being the case. There would surely be a demand for 100% pharma grade O-dt, this latest batch is a little iffy tbh, not quite hitting the spot at all in the same way as the last batch did.

Yeah I can't control a taper unless it's prescribed to me. If you have a drug worker anyway it's definitely worth discussing getting put on to a diazepam prescription if tapering on g by yourself isn't working out. They might be reluctant to do it given that it's probably not a situation they're presented with that often but be (politely) forceful about it if it's what you want and you should be able to get it worked out eventually. It's not an unreasonable request if you do your bit and piss clean for them.

If you're prone to struggling to stay sensible then definitely be careful with etizolam, the shorter the half-life of a drug the more compulsive it is and the more likely you are to use excessively and then before you know it you're diggin yourself deeper in to the shit and making your habit worse than it was before. With something that has a long half-life you can just dose on a daily basis which makes it much easier to stabilise and taper and makes it easier to seperate the consumption of the substance from the idea of getting fucked up in your head (making the whole process of getting clean easier).
 
Do a search on baclofen for G withdrawal. Pregabalin and gabapentin can also be very effective. Phenibut is sorta messy but worth a look. Clonidine will stop palpitations and excess adrenaline but don't overdo it, or take a betablocker instead.
And yes, whatever benzos you can get will help with most symptoms, though not with all.

Take care, all depending on the size of your habit ofc, but if you feel like you're really going mental and/or epileptic then self-medication may not cut it
 
Actually I lost my bottle of g so I'm not doing too bad at the moment. I say lost, I hid it but I can't remember exactly which hiding place and I haven't had an appropiate time to go rooting about in my neighbours hedge for it. Fingers crossed no youngstress find it.
 
Thingy on baclofen:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2630388/

We report here the use of baclofen to facilitate the smooth, rapid transition from GHB in a patient with severe withdrawal symptoms. Despite receiving benzodiazepines, which are currently recommended to treat GHB withdrawal, the patient had seizures, delirium, and worsening of an intention tremor with modest reductions in the GHB dose. Introduction of low-dose baclofen led to resolution of the tremor and anxiety, and prevented further seizures during completion of the GHB withdrawal.

Fortunately I'd switched from GBL to ghb for the last week so it made life a bit easier.

Not this time, see my last post.

I tend to go on 2 week 247 binges and then fell rough for a week, again, not too bad and benzos helped. I got sweat palms and some DTs but booze and benzos kept the worst at bay.
 
Lol every time i walk past my neighbours I just know ill be ripping his hedge apart at 3 am one morning soon

Ffs there us half bottles of GBL all over the woods round here. I found one once walking back from a party. I can always tell it's mine because the labels are smudged from the g meluting them.
