I don't like diaz at all myself. I've found it to cause a delayed paradoxical rxn. Seems benzos that share oxazepam as a metabolite do it. I got scripted diaz a few times, once before when I had to go to probation several years ago after getting banged up, and on release, forced to go to probation for a year or so. When I got there after taking diaz, I had to more or less fight with my probie to stop her calling an ambulance, I was shaking all over, that badly she was one step away from ringing an ambulance.
I really like nitrazepam though, my favourite out of all the benzos I've ever tried, maybe loprazolam was similarly good at real high doses, but nitraz is definitely a favourite. The pills ain't bad either, taste like mints, easy to take sublingually/chew up. Tastes good to me.
IV use of barbs is seriously dangerous. The free acids aren't water soluble to any great degree. When I scored over an oz of barbital, when converting a little of it to a sodium salt it just floated on top of the water/base solution in a pile of powder for quite a while, reluctant to dissolve. In just water it was more or less insoluble. The sodium salts are highly alkaline and will do a number on veins, although I never banged the barbital, just took it orally. Top notch downer, but if abused, and I did, along with god knows what else I was using at the time, it will fuck you. IV use will ruin veins, and if extravasation occurs, or a proper miss, the barbs are notorious for causing severe necrosis of flesh, being as caustic as they are.
Won't post this as a direct image, but just link to it. This is an image of a burn caused by barbs. Not pretty in the slightest. Some others look more like burns inflicted by mustard gases, massive blistering caused, necrotic ulcers. I'd really never risk it. Perhaps with an IV line in place with an injection port, but not using a handheld needle. One slip and its likely to result in an ugly mess.
