Benzo Discussion Vol. 2

[Allein]

^^^

I started on Diaz (in the main) to try and cope with panix attacks for which my GP would only give me SSRIs and to get off thee booze.

8 weeks later I'm stilll on the booze and hvae a withdrwawal tonface upto with the diaz whihc nis bound to lead to more panic attacks and depresion.
My advice to anyone like me that has to take druga if they are in posesion of them is to stay welll away from Diaz

OK so I've spent a good few hours reading the Ashdon report and lots of other advice and experiamces and I agree cpod turkey would be dangerous even at eight weeks.

Using some other advice and the Ashton recomendations and other sources of info, taking into account my short useage period I've made up a schedule and, I guess a personal challenge to stick to it.

I'm done with this shit - what a twat !

Sorry about the formating but it doesnt some out looking the same when you create thr post (even in advanced) as it does in the thread.


I'm happy that the regime is agressive but safe, I need tpo be off of thisd shit ASAP and the booze will follow soon after. Only time will tell if my calculations, assumptions are correct and I can it this quickly and if I am right only my will power will see me through.

If I get out the othe side of this clean and not back in IP then I'll offer the remaining stock to who ever manges post the most insulting post of congratulations.

i know what you mean, iv put off acid for so long but i think im in the right place, i found it a beautiful experience watching my gf's face melt about whilst chatting normally and also caught a moth (saw 8 at the time except one was bigger,) and i felt like we became buddies, i was talking to him n all lol i even poured a bit of krabbies ginger beer in a bottle top with a sprinkling of ket in it and slid it under the pint glass, needless to say this moth was fucked but in my fucked state i forgot to put a penny under the glass so the poor moth could breathe, you can guess the rest lol, was such a fun night lol!

anyway as this is the benzo thread ill stfu ok?

No comments on my self cooked up schedule.....not sure if thats disapproval or just sitting on the fence to see if I fall off :D or apathy which I have in abundance if anyone is short of it8)

will give regular updates on this one.

I'm going to start on Wednesday next week (doing as little as possible between now and then) because I have to travel to Europe Monday and Tuesday so don't want to pull a total wonk whilst working.

Especially away from the UK. I've also imposed a self inflicted driving ban between the Diaz and the mirtazapine (which I think has really fucked me up) I'm not happy that I'm safe at least for the next week or so.

 

[Allein]

bump....

come on people I'm sure there's been more than a few gone through this what do you think of the schedule, or are you all just waiting for the car crash :...alll you'll do id cause ca pile up on the other carriageway

 

[Munroe]

I think there's a thread, possibly in the darkside which suggests a 10% taper per week for minimal discomfort

 

[Allein]

^^ Thanks Munroe, I have read virtually every report on the net today regarding n withdrawal....I would, recommend heather Ashton paper if you ever need to look at such info.

My issue is more about large dosage but short term use, of which there seems little in the way of specific info.

I didn't want to taper over months and months and dint think that would be successful for me it would be in possession to long.

10% a week is just some arbitrary number not based on real experience or research. but thanks anywway..we will all know in the next few weeks if my home brew withdrawal works or not

 

[Crack4Lyfe]

What kinda things do I need to say to my doctor to get prescribed benzos? I tried a few years back for stress during exams and the doctor refused.

yeah i had to taper 10% every 2 weeks, but i was on it long term, im pretty sure, your short term binge will be able to manage a quick taper no problem.

I have social anxiety and doctors have tried all the major classes of anti-depressants on me, all to no avail. I've never taken any benzo besides Etizolam, which doesn't help me that much.
I've got university coming up later this year, which will at first no doubt give me crippling anxiety.

I'm considering asking my doctor upfront if I could get a benzo prescription for 2 weeks to a month in order to help me adapt to university life.
The issue is I'd feel like a junkie making such a direct request, and the doctor might see that too - despite the practical reasons for wanting it.

Shall I just go ahead and give it a try?

I don't know if this is a stupid question to pose to you or not, but have you tried beta blockers? Unless your doctor is a really 'cool' about this sort of thing I can't see him writing you up for 2 weeks to a month of benzos for the anxiety of starting uni myself. Having said that it will be on your record that you have a history of this sort of thing, and having tried various non-benzo meds, so I doubt it can hurt to try, especially if you're changing doctors when you go to uni.

your GP sounds like a nice chap, but in many ways I'm glad he isnt mine

Given the half life of Diaz dos anyone know why all the tapers split the dose into am and pm.

Surely it makes little odds and you could just take one each evening maybe split into 2 doses.

Do they suggst this to iron out the bumps a bit ?

I'm going on a self imposed taper and it would be much easier for me to take the 2 planned doses at 6pm and 11pm.

Any useful comments gratefully recieved

are you already seeing your doctor about anxiety? i was seeing mine for nearly 6 months about anxiety related to a specific issue, when that issue was coming to a close but i was still crippled by it (AFTER i'd lost a stone in weight, barely done any work for months and massively upped my weed/alcohol consumption...) she was prepared to script me v small amounts of diaz to use when that specific thing was arising. i didn't outright ask for it though.

i recently left the doctors crying hysterically, heaving and having other involuntary spasms associated with extreme tension, with nothing. again i didn't ask for anything but i think its really unprofessional to allow someone in that state out without anything. i think part of the reason i didn't get anything was because it wasn't about anything specific and they encourage you to try and deal with things. so i think you have a higher chance of getting scripted them for a specific short term problem such as yours.

i wouldn't explicitly ask but go in to ask for help to deal with your anxiety. you can't just say you're anxious you need to be displaying the symptoms of anxiety in there.

overall i'd say its not worth it for what will probably be 28 2mg diaz tablets.

going to uni is hard, but its also awesome, good luck with it.

oh yeah atm sorry i really can't help you with any info but wish you the best of luck!

i always just took the same dose daily at around the same time, no need to split the doses imo.
