Benzos 20MG etizolam too much?

[Tweak Thizz]

I took 4, then a nother 4, then another 2, then another 10.

Would I be fine or should I be in trouble?

Are you asking if you are likely to overdose? As long as you didn't combine it with other CNS depressants then you should be fine. You may do some dumb stuff and then sleep for a long time, but you aren't going to die.

You'll be fine as long as you dont take anymore and stay in your house. You probably wont remember shit tomorrow

I know it's not a real benzo, but I've seen some charts comparing doses to benzos and they say either they are the same mg for mg as alprazolam, or half as potent (.5mg alprazolam = 1mg etizolam). That would mean that your dose would be equivalent to 10-20mg of alprazolam, (depending on the chart you use) which while it's enough to knock you out, it won't cause an OD on its own. While toxicity will vary between these similar medications, you are far enough on the safe side to have to worry.

I think you might be in a bit of trouble when that wears off...

Large doses of etizolam like that can give one quite a nasty rebound effect. I personally hate the ear-popping/throbbing, feel like I've been beaten up, after-effect of that kind of dose. Not to mention the anxiety that has me reaching for... more etizolam.

I hope you don't make a habit out of that.

It's extremely difficult to OD on benzos so long as you didn't mix them with other CNS depressants such as alcohol or opiates. The only time I got near an OD was with a benzo + alcohol mix but I've taken much bigger doses of benzos then what you described and never had a problem....however you'll most likely feel like absolute crap tomorrow, maybe even for the next couple of days if you don't have much tolerance.

You should be physcially ok, provided you dotn tkae another cns depressant as other people have said. But youll feel like shit, pass out, sleep for 2 days and then wake up wiht no memory, feeling like shit, and minues however much that etizolam cost you , (no prices but its damn expensive).

Take 3, see how you feel. The take a few more. But no more than 6. Youll have a much better time, i promise.

I've inadvertently taken 100mg of powder etizolam over the course of an hour or so, to no major ill effect besides a very heavy night's sleep and a 2 day memory blackout. I wouldn't recommend anyone do such a thing, it was accidental on my part, and inconvenient as hell, but apparently not life-threatening.

 

[Swain]

If you post your concern regarding if a dose could potentially make your OD and die BEFORE taking the drugs don't you think you'd get better results than posting after?

 

[Albion]

^ That would make more sense, but mistakes are only clear to see after they've happened.

 

[mrflowers00]

benzos alone are very safe i took 160mg of alprazolam and was completely fine

 

[Albion]

Whilst it's reassuring to know that they're inherently quite safe, overdoses are still dangerous because of what you could potentially do whilst blacked out, and there's a LOT you could do since blackouts last for a few hours at the least, if not a day or even two.

Well alprazolam has a LD50 of 2171 mg/kg. But not all benzos are equal. Temazepam has a LD50 of 800 mg/kg, the lowest among benzodiazepines. There are some with 1500 mg/kg other are even less toxic than alprazolam and have 4000-5000 mg/kg LD50's. So benzos have a high therapeutic index, but be careful of some (ie. temazepam) as some are more toxic than others.
