In the last 24 hours I have been taking 250mg of diazepam and 100mg temazepam plus about 5 long island ice teas.
I have no benzo tolerance but I do drink heavily every day and I am going through opiate withdrawal (8 years of everyday use)
Why is it that I dont really feel anything from the benzos except that I'm not anxious and dont really feel the opiate withdrawal. Also 2 days before I started taking the diazepam and temazepam I took 225mg of zopiclone in 2 days. I'm not trying to dicksize or try suicide, I'm just confused why I dont really feel anything from all those benzos? Could it be that I just havent noticed the effects because I might have been zoned out of my mind?
Could someone explain whats going on with this? Is the benzo "high" so subtle that you dont really notice it? I'm not sure what my question here is but I'm just a bit confused about all this.
 
You're probably so zonked you don't even realize you're zonked...lol happens to me all the time.

You could probably make note that your inhibitions will be way down and you're probably being more impulsive.

Edit in: Benzodiazepines in general have a very subtle euphoria that can sometimes be hard to notice...

Do you have a head/smoke shop near you that sells kratom? Go get 10 grams or so and you'll be floating nicely all day.
 
Kratom is illegal where I live (Finland) so cant get any..I really havent noticed opiate withdrawals because of all those benzos and z-drugs..I'm just wondering why I really havent noticed almost anything from that massive dose of benzos but at least they have kept 90% of opiate withdrawals away

I wonder how long the metabolites (nordiazepam, temazepam and oxazepam) will work in my body after that huge dose.

Diazepam by itself has a long half life - but its active metabolites last even longer, upwards of 100 hours.

At the dosages you took - you won't feel WDs symptoms for a while....because its going to take a while before all the benzos (and their metabolite benzos) are out of your system.
 
Thanks Neighborhoofthreat. I was just thinking that after that massive dose of diazepam that it's metabolites will be probably hanging around my body for a very long time (assuming that nordiazepam has a half-life of 36-300 hours) which is good because I am going through opiate withdrawal and need those benzos and their metabolites to keep me sane.

Im glad to hear that the Benzos are helping with your Opiate withdrawals, but just a word of warning... please be careful how often you take that amount of Benzos because i realise short term they may help you feel 'sane' but after a while you could very easily come to feel insane. In my own experience which admittedly is different to yours, the beauty/danger of Benzos is there subtlety (Anxiety relief etc) which to some people (me included) is/was a godsend but eventually you may end up a complete anxious/nervous wreck! Well thats my 2 cents anyway, and im at the more extreme end of Benzo abusers, to the extent where i feel almost as if my brain has been rewired.

Best of luck with everything.
 
I would say that after 8 years of daily opiate use it makes sense that you don't feel anything, even after such a massive dose of benzos...I have had very similar experiences as you, this being my conclusion/answer to your query, imho.
be careful, though, esp. if you decide to take a dose of opiates while still having the benzos in your system...that is asking for a serious blackout or even od...I've been there.
good luck.
 
Hide your pills, because if you're taking that much of substances that the max dose per pill of Valium is 10mg, Temazepam is 30mg, and fucking ambien 225mg ALONG with alcohol.

You're going to lose your life being reckless with benzos and alcohol. Don't die.
 
I'm all out of benzos, z-drugs and alcohol now. Nothing bad happened when I took all those (mostly I took them because I was going through small methadone & poppy tea addiction)
I did not even black out from taking all those which is odd. Those pills were real benzos from a pharmacy (did not order them from internet or anything)
Right now I am basically through opiate withdrawal except for loose stomach and depression.
I also hid some of the pills and I found some temazepam under my bed and some diazepam in a box of matches. I wonder if there's anymore benzos hidden around.

I have been drinking everyday for 2 years so I'm wondering if there is cross-tolerance between alcohol and benzos..

Hi Codesan, yes, there is a cross tolerance between alcohol and benzos. Be very careful not to mix both. It's a recipe for disaster.

Be careful with you consumption of benzos too, I know it's better said than done, but the doses you are taking are substantial enough to be dangerous with the addition of alcohol. Good luck.

Exactly the reason I don't fuck with benzos anymore.. I never remember feeling good off them.. The only proof that I have is the cell phone video the next day.

One in particular I remember, I was in the car with my buddy drinking wine out of a water bottle ranting and raving on how "godly" klonopin is.. slurred the fuck out.
 
These are extremely high doses, especially for someone with no tolerance. However, people going through alcohol withdrawal or opioid withdrawal can often take much more than the usual dose. Also if you normally drink a lot that may have given you a tolerance because alcohol acts on some of the same receptors as benzodiazepines. I would be very careful though, as your tolerance may change depending on how much or how little you drink and as your opioid withdrawal subsides. And please be careful mixing benzos with alcohol.

The benzo "high" (if you want to call it that) may be subtle in that you might not always realize how much it is affecting you while you are on them, but it is definitely not common for someone with no tolerance to take doses THAT high and not notice anything. Most people would be blacking out and passing out. I think it is more likely that the opioid withdrawal and the alcohol use have made the benzos not affect you nearly as much. How did you feel the next day? Do you even remember making this post?
 
The dose in no way acutely dangerous to your health, at least without the alcohol (and at least it can be said that Finland only serves pussy versions of Long Island Ice Tea, with about 50% of the liquor you're meant to put in it or something), although it may turn you into a retard (the consequences of which for health/freedom/finance can be disastrous) and induce complete amnesia. Drinking and that many benzos is a pretty bad combination.

The "high" is very subtle and unless you have something benzos specifically help against - anxiety, insomnia, muscle strain, meth binge comedown, or opiate withdrawal like yourself - then you may not notice the effects. At least the opioid withdrawals are staying away - that should indicate to you that the drugs are working, as opioid withdrawal is decidedly and manifestly shitty. I and many others first discovered the hard way - the blackout way - that before you get a cracking high out of a benzo you're well into amnesic multiple felon territory.

My guess is that you may do some stupid shit, and you won't remember making this thread or much else, but you should be safe. However, it should be obvious that any kind of blackout, much less one several days long, is NOT RECOMMENDED.

It is poetically Finnish, though. "Kolme lätkää pameja." (jos muuntaa noi tennarit pameiks)

EDIT: I forgot. Z-drugs are cross-tolerant with benzos, so that will play a part as well.
 
Anyone except finns consume those amount of benzos? ;)

haha..thanks for the laughs in this thread..yes I do remember everything and didnt black out. It is odd though that its the "Finnish way" to use benzos..thats pretty much what most of the junkies I know do it.
People should come and see the benzo culture themselves (seeing a guy eat 200mg of diazepam, 100mg temazepam etc. and drinking a 0,5l bottle of 32% vodka...and I know its not harm reduction but I have done that in the past)
 
Alcohol plus temazepam has proven to be a very deadly combination time and time again. You're mixing the most toxic benzo with what essentially is a poison and that's why this combo is especially dangerous relative to other benzo/alcohol combos. Then you got diazepam on top of it all and it just makes it all worse.

People think they can't die from benzo overdose - that is as far from the truth as can be. YES YOU CAN DIE ON A BENZO, EVEN IF IT ISN'T MIXED WITH ANYTHING ELSE.
 
indeed with what kokaino said.

i have been around and remember someone from my college OD'ing on ambien and subsequently being found dead the next morning.

it was estimated she had taken 20 packets of the stuff that were found lying across her room, and there was no evidence of other drugs being used either.
