An RC benzo has destroyed my brain, how do I get back on my feet? (Advice needed)

[rc_benzo]

All day today I spent on bluelight telling people about how dangerous Flubromazolam is. I really hope people got my message, because this is not a joke.

This shit benzo causes w/d symptoms only after 2 days of use and side-effects including respiratory depression.

I'm off it for the third day now. I'm still experiencing minor hallucinations and brain zaps. That's only after 2 days of use.

I need help. I feel tired and very sick. I also feel like I have a fever. How do I get back on my feet. I can't even get up to go and buy food. I feel extreme paranoia even if I think about going out of the house. I have no friends or anyone to talk to.

I really need help. Since I can't go to the ER, because they will not identify this benzo, since it won't show up on tests.

I would suggest getting medical help. If you aren't willing to go that route then just tough it out I almost purchased Flubramazolam myself before I spiraled out of control straight into rehab after taking Erizolam and abusing my Xanax script. I understand your reluctance to go to a hospital because they won't recognize the benzo. I apologize to the moderators of TDS if this is bad advice. What if you just told them you were abusing a more well known benzo like Klonopin? If you are not breathing properly please go to the hospital. Your vitals will fill in the gaps if you are truly in need

Do as Cosmic Giraffe say you have been buying zanax of a friends friend who another friend gets it from who is your friend. I hate benzo W/D i'm having them now because I some how ate all my 50 valium in 5 days and I am coming of bupe because I would buy meth instead of paying for the suboxone so I feel great. Probably smoked half g of ice over night aswell

Benzo withdrawal can actually cause excitotoxicity and brain damage by that mechanism. I'd say try to get medical attention and tell them you are in withdrawal from Xanax or something.

When I ran out of benzos, DXM at a sufficient dose stopped most of the symptoms and I was jerking around uncontrollably and feeling burning sensations on my body along with frightening feelings and shocks in my head before that. It is an NMDA receptor antagonist and another weaker NMDA receptor antagonist called Acamprosate is used in treating alcohol withdrawal. Normally would not recommend using another drug to deal with a drug problem, but benzos are an exception. Alcohol may help if you are actually experiencing withdrawal. It surprises me you are having so much trouble after just a couple of days, but who knows what a research chemical like that might do? If you could get another benzo from someone else and use a low dose for a few days or a week, that may be the best option. Lyrica or Neurontin/gabapentin could help. Phenibut could help if it is available, but you are needing something now, it won't help if you have to order something.

I have read the half life is maybe an hour, so tolerance could develop very rapidly with repeated dosing

Whatever the case, you will very likely fully recover without actual brain damage especially if things are improving by now and you could try some of those recommendations if you are still having a rough time. The only way I could see this damaging your brain is if it is contaminated with a neurotoxic substance, is something else entirely, you used very high doses, or you have an unfortunate rare sensitivity that makes you vulnerable to damage from this drug. If it was something that was highly neurotoxic (two days of use causing significant brain damage), it would probably be known by now - I could be wrong and maybe there is information I do not know. But withdrawal itself can cause damage if it is bad enough.

How much did you use during these two days? It sounds like something is missing.
I have thought of at least a dozen of different types of drugs, and benzos.
Find it [FONT=arial, sans-serif]difficult to understand how in two days [/FONT]you could get hooked like that.

It has a half-life of about 106 hours, and its older cousin FlubromazePAM has a 220 hour half-life. And I'm Pretty sure there's some neurotoxicity involved with this benzo, just like with Triazolam. I'm not sure if it's the w/d from physical dependance that I'm experiencing or the side-effects, but thanks for your advice.

In 2 days I took 20mg of Flubromazolam (equivalent to 1600mg Diazepam). Tolerance to Flblam is unforgiving, that why I used such a large dose.

Thanks for all of the support guys, I will definitely stay the hell away this benzo. I will probably order some Nifoxipam later, and I already have received my Etaqualone, very interested in trying it. But before I do that, I think I need to take a break from downers for some time.

Dude you made a thread about rc-benzo destroying you and couple posts after tell that you got some more analogues coming. How about leaving the rc scene behind?

 

[CosmicG]

Ehh yeah I agree with cook on this one. Not only that, you took an insane amount of Flubromazolam in that two day span. I'm confused...I guess you are feeling better now but take what you learned from this experience and try to integrate it into your life.

 

[Nom de Plume]

be careful with etaqualone. i think the last you want to have is a barb-habit on top of your benzo problem.

stay safe, all the best to you!

Etaqualone is a quinazolinone, not a barbiturate.

Edit: And what idiot would continue to use benzodiazepines if they have access to barbiturates, anyway? A barbiturate is what a benzo tries and fails pathetically to be.
