It is weird how easy benzos are to get( prescribed)in America, compared to the UK. I was on Ativan( lorazepam) and switched to Valium( diazepam) I was on 6mg for 6-7 years. 1mg of Ativan =10 MG Valium.
I cut my use in half thinking 2mg of Ativan= 10mg of Valium.
No withdrawals but might it be the reason after 9-10 months I have become an insomniac?
Could it be that 6mg of Ativan= 60mg of Valium and now 30mg of Valium is the cause even after this long?
very much so, but i think that also may have something to do with your fully private system possibly, i mean we just gotta look up in the thread a page - Private Dr = possible, but likely probably difficult still. NHS dr? = better chance of swimming back up stream with the salmon than get a script from them now. yet ur black market pricing is reversed/cheaper but this was years ago when near every brand was genuine, then i heard a mate say wat he pays for just his 'normal' xanax script and i told him the general price for what 25-50, the original true, xanax bars were over in the uk generally and he went "can i come on holiday" lol then that diaz was even cheaper, when MSJ's were legit! said Diazepam/valium is one the lesser prescribed ones over clonaz, alpraz or loraz? could just be him tho, his is stomach and anxiety based.
So basically, our health service is SHIT for them, literally, my old dr called them 'evil', she moved me to another dr when i said 'your the same dr tho who would prescribe my grandad tubs of diaz, librium and temazepam back in the day though yea?'and was met with 'oh but we didn't know how evil and bad they were back then yadda yadda' then why the change of heart, what is this new information just discovered that makes them so intolerable to prescribe (and i only remembered 'diazepam' cuz they were the same name of the tablet used in a game was on the label of 'grandads sleeping tablets' which i remembered from a ps1 game ('metal gear solid', funnily enough, to 'stop you shaking with your sniper rifle', could take 20 and be sniping and not jellied out (i tried lmao)
and sony, which playstation is, its a japanese company too, i have no idea about japan and benzos, so i thought it weird that a gaming programmer in the 90's knew wat diazepam was over there, cause you can't even get into japan on methadone = banned, me on subs and it being the one country i've always wanted to see? - i gotta write a letter to the governments ministry of health and aren't allowed to go until they reply, which, i read one comment, that said they wrote back 2 months after the trip had had to be cancelled...3 months ago, cuz they were scared to go incase (it IS japan, after all, you seen what they do over a joint?!?) my thoughts would likely the dr would rather commit seppuku than give you them there but)
Maybe Login or another medical profesh can help answer, but when i was reading over it, the japanese medical law for subutex with foreigners, they said i would have to follow THEIR countries guidelines and that they would be dispensed to me in accordance with those guidelines, now i was wondering, would they be able to change that dose possibly if not 'within their dispensing guidelines'? because i couldn't understand whether i would get my normal dose (14mg) or i'd get THEIR 'guideline for subutex' dosing? (which would be massively less according to their prescribing doses from what i could find on it) i don't think they could do that but there was FA in relevance of japans actual 'do i get my dose or do i get YOUR GUIDELINE dose' kinda answer. Are they able to alter dosing you reckon or is that a full on no-go, even for med's like subs (sorry any people on methadone wanting to see japan)
