Misc Favorite non-benzos?

I'd say Pregabalin (Lyrica) is the next best thing to benzos, some people might even say it's better.
Lyrica and clonidine are two great drugs for helping fentanyl withdrawals,but I find that lyrica your body gets used to to quickly requiring more,and more pretty much on a daily or every other day increases leading you down another rabbit hole….I learned that with gabapentin,which also helps with RLS…

Soma is nice once in a while but fiendishly moreish...
Totally agree,I’ve still got a dozen or so from about 5 years ago,simply because the way they hit you isn’t really enjoyable,if I take one with a shot of gin and a joint I’m fine nice and chill,but if you take two I’m extremely lazy ,can’t walk straight,it’s just a really sloppy high….

helps with anxiety yes, but not sure I would take it for relaxation, I'm cleaning the entire house when I take pregab

this, it's the nearest thing available to a barb, I fucking love the stuff, very underrated imho
Ketamine is a good anxiolytic/relaxant as well.
yeah, I enjoy low doses of it to chill out on. and a decent hole is very good for me for a brain reset given it's therapeutic effects

I never liked Ketamine to begin with but it grew on me over time. It's a very strange drug lol.
 
you guys are nuts barbs are the only correct answer. I guess I haven't fucked around with ketamine enough to find out but I would not have slept on MXE for the world. (or unless I ordered some and not just had a sample gram tossed in -- than by the time I had money to order again it was gone forever...*Weeps quietly*

For sedation and sleep? its barbs. Soma is a more likely find forsure but given the option between either....
 
7,5 - 15mg mirtazapine ( this one is for deep sedation and sleep )
15mg chlirprothixen ( this is to completely turn off your thoughts )
25-50-75-100mg promethazine ( this is my favourite for relaxation and anxiety )
2 - 8mg tizanidine ( profound muscle relaxation and sedation )


60mgSR - 900mgSR dihydrocodeine for getting mind boost or euphoria out of downer ( but this one is addictive )


From benzos, diazepam.
 
Oh I forgot to add, certain anxiolytic antipsychotics I find to be fairly pleasurable, but only if I need to be sedated for some reason. Good for withdrawals and anxiety.

Stuff like haloperidol, thorazine, etc. These drugs have given me great comfort, generally while in the hospital withdrawling from other drugs like benzos. Those first gen APs are way more calming and even slightly enjoyable compared to the 2nd gen APs.

I hate how doctors look at me strange when I ask for those drugs to mitigate my general anxiety and sleep issues. Won't prescribe benzos, but wont prescribe me anxiolytic neuroleptics, either. What is their job good for again?
 
1. GHB (no tolerance)
2. Barbiturates
3. Carbamate sedatives (aka soma)
3. Pregabalin
4. Alcohol
5. GHB (with tolerance or cross tolerance from ethanol)
6. Tertiary alcohols (avoid these, unsafe)
7. Muscimol
8. Gabapentin
9. Kava
10. Phenibut



Generally ranked by how much I enjoy them

Oh shite I forgot about GHB -- I dont trust the dose curve enough to trust it personally. But yea you need sleep -- Chloral Hydrate (?) Not euphoric but you going down. Propofanol?

GHB does basically just turn into alcohol though (sensation wise) I like you got it on there twice for tolerance/cross tolerance. Good shit
