I don't care if it makes you shit your ass out your mouth and poop your right nut out your dick, I need something to reduce my anxiety. I have the WORST anxiety you could[n't] imagine, I've found myself ready to jump off a building a few times because of it. It can't be some rare or impossible to get stuff, I just want it to be an RC. I don't know why but I do so don't ask me.
 
^ That's hot. I'd've thought all benzos would be at least schedule V.

Do I really want to get into benzos? If I could get like 10mg to try so I don't have the chance to get extremely addicted because there's a grace period between the time I'd run out and be addicted before another order would get here.
I've never even seen a benzo, let alone used one for any reason.

No, you don't want to get into benzos. If you start to abuse them, the addiction to benzos is going to be far worse and you'll be begging to just have your anxiety... which will be significant worse when you do try to get off the benzos.
 
^ Well I trust you more than anyone else on this forum so, if there are any good RCs that aren't terrible for you that are good anti-anx meds and you know about them, tell me!


Or if you think it's best just to act as messed up as I can until a psychiatrist gives me something...
 
^that's flattering but there are lots of people around who have more knowledge and especially more experience than me.

I think its problematic using ANY recreational substance to self-medicate, especially with anxiety. As far as what works, what HOOD mentioned are the most effective but have huge downsides.

I would say talk to a mental health professional and utilize a multidisciplinary approach that might utilize pharmaceuticals in the short term but only while learning other ways to cope with and reduce your anxiety. Personally, I'm a huge proponent of CBT.
 
dude, if you really have anxiety see a dr. benzos are first line but if you had any drug abuse history you wont get them or you really shouldnt anyway. there are other options.

SSRIs like lexapro can be good, vistaril works for some, lyrica works very well but you cant take it everyday(see my recent posts).

kava kava works REALLY well but it fucks with your liver. do some research on it and see if you are ok with that.


PHENAZEPAM is a horrible horrible idea. there are so many horror stories. it is a benzo but its unscheduled so it is RC technically and you can get it online with a CC. thing is its in pure powder form so dosing is incredibly hard and if you fuck up the halflife is so long that you may find yourself in jail or worse....moderately easily. it was a nightmare for me.

i have a feeling if you wanted something to help with anxiety you would not abuse you would not be asking about RCs.

That seems to be true. I have no personal experience with a benzo addiction or anything, but knowing what it's like according to what other people have told me, has deterred me from using benzos more frequently than once in a blue moon.

don't get me wrong, yes phenazepam can cause horror stories, but so can every other benzo. It's all about responsible dosing and accurate measuring. Just because you had a bad experience with it doesn't mean it doesn't work wonderfully for others.. I took it for a couple days instead of my kpin for my taper (i needed a break, back on kpins now) and it is still just as useful for my anxiety as ever. phenazepam is still ranked 2nd on my favorite benzos, only behind my number 1 choice clonazepam.

But the OP asked for RC's and i gave them an RC answer.. if they would have asked what should i get scripted i would have said a combo of hydroxyzine and clonidine. and if insomnia is a problem also (which it usually is when anxiety is involved) i would recommend zyprexa (it is in the same class as etizolam as a theinbenzodiazepine)
 
With the addiction (I don't really have a history of addiction, it's more like the first time I try something I forget how it was and want to try it one more time, then I'm usually done forever unless I really like it) would it be a physical dependence or would it be me being so happy I feel like I can't go back to anxiety, fear, and all the other shit?

^ A little off topic but why do antidepressants make you gain weight? Do they make you eat more or do they buttfuck your metabolism or something?
 
And why again can you not go see your doctor or a psychiatrist about this? You have crippling anxiety that makes you want to kill yourself and you refuse to see a doctor? You'd rather goggle down a bunch of research chemicals that you don't even care what they do to you as long as they reduce your anxiety? Do you realize how crazy you sound? Talk to your doctor man.

You just want it to be an RC, you don't know why but you just do so don't ask? I found that it helps to tell people that you're asking for help the truth.

Honesty is the name of the game.
 
^this.

On second thought, I don't think there is any harm reduction in instructing people to get unregulated drugs of indeterminate potency cut with who-the-fuck-knows-what and endorsing self-medication, which is arguably the quickest road to addiction.

If you think you have reason this should be reopened, please feel free to PM me.
