It is similar to alprazolam IMO, yes. Though it's slightly less potent (12mg is similar to say 1, maybe 1,5mg of alprazolam - but 12mg is the highest dose available, and the brand 'Roche' doesn't even make 12mg anymore, they only go up to 6mg), it's a lot longer acting and 1x12mg can hold me for a day. That's why I prefer it over alprazolam, because I can make do with 1x12mg/day, and with alprazolam I get the urge to redose after a few hrs, and I mean redose 2mg each time.
My psychiatrist just added bromazepam to my prescription though last appointment, so I intend to ask my GP to switch me to a different benzo (gonna tell him I used to switch between alpraz & bromaz every few months with my old doc as well when my tolerance to one of them was getting too high), namely alprazolam 2mg. Both my psychiatrist & my GP think I need only 1x12mg bromazepam a day (which is true, I don't
need any more), so changing one of the scripts to a benzo I really like recreationally (and that goes great with methadone IME) seems like a nice idea

.
Seeing as despite changing my steady benzo script from 1 of my doc's to alprazolam 2mg, I'll still have my bromazepam no matter what.

I'm pretty sure alprazolam 2mg is the benzo I want to go with. That would be 60x2mg, per 2 months I predict, which is perfect since I don't want any more (I might be able to get 60x2mg per month instead of 2 months) anyway because I don't want to let my dependency get out of hand, and alprazolam is dangerous in that regard.
Anyway, OT:
Now 180mg methadone
12mg bromazepam
25Mg hydroxyzine
Some spliffs (last one now

)
