I don't know if it's still recommended here at BL these days? However back in the day often times
The Ashton Manual was pointed out as a decent resource for those discontinuing benzodiazepines. I've found it to be a useful resource for those I've known discontinuing benzodiazepines. I've also had the chance to help educate some GP's on benzodiazepines by pointing them in it's direction. Though I wish they'd known more about benzodiazepines to begin with (no you don't cut a patient from 6mg clonazepam a day to 0 in less than a month

) but at least I was able to help educate them for future patients.

I digress though.
I just figured I'd mention it as a potential resource. I'm less familiar with the so called "RC" th/benzos available ATM so I won't comment on them. In the past the "RC" th/benzo I found to be an excellent benzo for tapering &/or maintenance at one point; was based on threads that were posted at the time an absolute "train wreck" to put it mildly for most users.

So I won't mention or recommend it to others for tapering / maintenance purposes. However; if anyone in the thread is looking for additional information regarding "RC" th/benzodiazepines there are respective threads related to each to the best of my knowledge.
I want to get rid of the RC-Benzos but not in a clinic. And I don't know why. Even I have litres of different substances and a lot of pharma benzos at home and I just can't manage to throw them away. I mean the Oxazepam i bought to taper off from RC-Benzos, here in Europe the tapering from benzos changed, they use more Oxazepam than Diiazepam. I'm a high-dose-user but honestly because I'm taking so much since because of Corona are 4 weeks at home I can't even say how much and from what exactly I took so much so that I can switch to another benzo to taper off. I of course want to do it with medical advice, but definitly not in a clinic, that's not possible for me because of my job in the medical sector.
So what to do?
I'm really on EXTREME doses noone would believe thats why I don't post the doses here.
Can anybody help me how to start?
I would very much appreciate it.

I've seen some of your posts but am not fully familiar with your situation. If you could lay out your doses, time frames of usage & available resources I would expect that with the knowledge available here on BL you could likely get some help making a plan. Perhaps make a thread on it?
I know you say "honestly because I'm taking so much since because of Corona are 4 weeks at home I can't even say how much and from what exactly" & "I'm really on EXTREME doses noone would believe thats why I don't post the doses here " but why is that?
Do you have a particular reason for this? If it's solely because you believe the dosages are so large that you wouldn't be believed; I wouldn't concern yourself with that.

I'm sure that you may find the doses to be extreme but through out the history of BL there have been many a user with what would be considered by many to be an "extreme" consumption pattern. Other than avoiding the "dick sizing" type threads...

posting ones dosages shouldn't be an issue as far as I know. (y)
In the past when I've posted my doses of certain substances I've always just included a "disclaimer" to advise others that the dosages I used where lethal to those without a similar usage pattern / tolerance or however I decided to elucidate it that day.
In doing so I've never run into any issues with posting my doses as long as like I said I elucidated with a disclaimer. Though I'm not sure if even that is necessary I tend to be overly thorough & verbose.

Regardless of all that; I'm sure that members here could help you plan a taper. If you'd like you can shoot me a PM. I'm just not on that often so I figured as it seems to be a time sensitive matter that you may wish to ask BL at large. Either way I hope that you can get your situation figured out & best of luck with it.
