'Addict' blows 3 grand compo on Diazepam

I accidentally ate a whole g of diaz powder at once before (mixied up with bomb of mdma when fucked), absolutely spannered for days and days, about 5-6days anyway. Lost all possessions, in and out of consciousness for most of the time, raped by 32yr old mother of 2. I dare say 80g would be the end of you!
 
If not the end of you then the beginning of a few weeks of losing stuff and being raped by MILFs anyway.

Sadly not she looked more like a raging banshee, and that was under the influence of the diaz, can't imagine ever seeing her sober.

I notice the price of diaz powder seems to have shot up lately, since when did a gram cost £50?! Was £10-20 when I used to buy it, probably best I don't buy it again anyway lol.
 
I'm still amazed to see that over in the UK it is very common for you to get your diaz from online vendors. I have only gotten them once in a blister pack with some Pakistani writing from my friend that ordered them. At least 1/3 of the psychiatrists here will easily prescribe benzos long term, so that's our primary source of them. Personally I have only been refused benzos from a doctor maybe once or twice, but have gotten them prescribed by 6 or so doctors over the years. Xanax being the most commonly prescribed, and then Clonazepam and Diaz after them.
 
Why would they commonly prescribe Xanax? It's about the easiest benzo to get addicted to and the worst amnesia of any I've tried. Madness.
 
^ it's so hard to get prescribed benzos here.. doctors are extremely wary, with good cause, but I do think they take it too far. For Dave's funeral I was refused benzos once then was given a handful of 2mgs when I asked again. I often think that we need a middle ground between here and the US in terms of benzo prescribing, and opioids for pain.. wouldn't want to see the US system here but it is a bit ridiculous here sometimes.

They usually prescribe an SSRI for general anxiety, and then Xanax for panic attacks. Some doctors prescribe both xanax and clonazepam or xanax and diazepam together, one for general anxiety, and again the xanax for panic attacks.

Why do they commonly prescribe xanax first? Well I'm sure that some pharmaceutical rep went into the office telling them about this new benzo that was just as good/better than valium, but less addictive and less potential for abuse. Obvious bullshit, but that's the same way that OxyContin came to be such a problem, and only after years of the problem making headlines in the news do they finally start cutting back on prescribing it.
 
They tend to prescribe Citalopram over here for anxiety from what I can gather.

Is doctor shopping as common place in the US as the internet has lead me to believe?
 
^ People used to be able to get away with it by paying cash and going to different drs and pharmacies, but that doesn't work anymore. Now we have state-wide prescription monitoring programs that connect all the doctors and pharmacies so they can all see what you have been prescribed in recent years (data stays for 2-5 years I think, depending on state) so that put an end to the Dr. shopping for the most part. People that were doing it were only seeing two doctors a month mostly, so it wasn't like they were hitting a Dr. a day or anything. Two prescriptions is better than one though.
 
After reading all the comments on this website i really felt the need to point out a few facts. The person this story is about is my brother and i would like to make it clear that this is a man that has had a drug addiction problem for alot of years and been in and out of prison. This started when he was prescribed tamazipam by his doctor at just 14, he started taking the tablets and getting into trouble as he was so 'off his head' from the tablets he didnt know what he was doing, at the age of 15 he was taken into care where he was offered heroin by peers in the care home and as simple as that he was a heroin addict and has been for the last 15/16 years. This is a man that desperatly wants to change but cant get the help and feels theres no point in trying as no one will give him a chance. The comment by the prison officer is completely wrong my brother turned to crime to get money for drugs not the other way round. And maybe people with the same occupation should be doing more to control the drugs that are getting into prisons! People are very quick to make presumptions but theres a background to everything and everyone. This is a man that doesnt see the point in working as his words are 'i wouldnt be able to afford to pay my own bills so im better off on benefits', he doesnt see the point in doing a course as he feels that noone would give him a job if he did. In my opinion the prison workers should be trying to get him into work, hes spent so much time in prison for rediculous things his words now are 'its easier in prison' hes institutionalised; in my opinion its a life wasted. He could try break a fight up in the street, not involved at all and be sent straight back to prison for breeching his lisense; no wonder people like this get the attitude of 'whats the point'. This man isnt thick hes a really nice lad when not on drugs and needs to be given the chance. Instead of dragging these people down, please put the effort in to make the government see more needs to be done to help this vicious circle, not when its too late but from the beginning! Things could have been done for my brother at the start before heroin was put in his face, and one day i fear that it will kill him not to mention all the other people in the same position as him.

Excellent post man, well written and I agree with everything you say.

Hello Sarah and welcome to BL.

Sorry if you feel anyone here was dragging your brother down. It's an unusual story and this is a piss-taking place, a defence mechanism we all use to get us through the day, pretty much like most people, most places, most days.

I would like to offer apologies if any of it was hurtful in what must be a stressing and depressing situation.

Many people here do make some sort of an effort, even if its only contributing to this board, to keep the flag flying for sensible drug policies. No-one here lives in a vacuum and many of us have our own unfair, ridiculous stories to tell because of drug prohibition. You sound like an intelligent and sensible person thrown into an insane situation. I'm sure everyone's sympathy, and others empathy, goes out to you from Bluelight.

We do try to fight the right fight, at least most of us, most of the time. If you stick around you will see the drug information given out on this website is second to none anywhere in the real world or online.

Your brother's tale is one of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, that makes it essential people keep fighting for what is right and for the end of such a damaging policy that is prohibition.
 
Can only echo the above post and welcome Sarah to Bluelight. Idiotic turnkey comments aside, it's worth noting the poster who mocked your brother for paying over the odds has since been exposed as an internet ripoff artist and his observations were probably designed to entice more suckers into his thieving scheme.

What next for your brother? If he's not out already, his release date can't be too far away. Are there any plans in place to provide support and encourage him to stay on the straight and narrow? Surely sounds like he had a tough start but,, at 31, he's far too young to be written off as a hopeless recidivist. With help and a little luck, there's no reason at all why he shouldn't be able to turn things around and make a life for himself - I've known people in similar positions who've done just that. Good luck to you both.
