^ It sounds really strange that Phenazepam has 60 hours half-life, its instruction states that T1/2 = 6-10-18 hours.
I haven't read the originating publication myself, but, as you prolly already saw, this is the paper that wikipedia references:
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7173273
Eur J Drug Metab Pharmacokinet. 1982;7(3):191-6.
Species differences in phenazepam kinetics and metabolism.
Anecdotally, I've heard it takes a long time to come on. I have some, but have had no cause to try it yet. The long come-on of the Phenazepam might make it less than optimal to trip-abort in a timely fashion.
Also, is atypical antipsychotics(like Zyprexa) an option for you?
Hmmm... Don't know. Not familiar with them, actually. I have always been fearful of the whole Tardive Diskinesia thing, as I know some people who are on anti-psychotics long term (I don't know if they're "atypical" or not), and they have serious tremor issues.
Now, I would guess though, that this concern about Tardive Diskinesia is irrelevant to "once in a blue-moon" anti-psychotic usage with the sole intent to trip-abort?
Also, I think that in general I would prefer to "abort" with a benzo, as benzos+entheogens are my guilty pleasure: I know I'll probably take flak here, but I sometimes like the benzo+2C-X or Trypt combination for it's relaxed, integrative and just plain fun aspects. So, the headspace and familiarity of benzo aborts are probably more friendly to me than experimenting with anti-psychotics.
Thanks for the tip though, I will be checking into these. Maybe they're for trips that reasonable amounts of benzos just won't touch?
I think diazepam should suffice, if you get in to trouble.
Unfortunately, diazepam is Schedule IV in my country... So that kind of makes it difficult, and not worth the risk to acquire. I already have the Phenazepam, so although my country has disallowed further imports, it's still technically legal. I also have access to Etizolam, which might be considered an "analogue", but analogue laws apply only to schedule I compounds here, so that is technically legal as well.
I'd like to stay as legit as possible, and valium is not the answer in that regard unfortunately.
