yeah i meant mirtazapine, and i thought 45mg was a very high dose for a benzo so that explains it. i think il keep it for a sleeping aid when its needed most.
Dont try to take mirtazapine in the same way you would a benzo for coming down from stimulants eg mdma, speed or dissociatives and psychedelics.
Its reputedly good for sleep but its an anti-depressant acting in a completely different way to benzos and could be dangerous mixed.
Do a bit of research on how much and what kind of serotonin transmitters it hits when you've got your science head on.
Actually Atm is probs more your man there.^ I didnt recognise his avatar.

If you've been taking mirtazapine for depression it takes anti-depressents a while to kick in. To begin with you can feel v i'll.. like you have a virus
Tried one of those triangle "2mg Xanax" about 1½ hours ago sublingually and they don't seem that strong to me. Possible tolerance build-up or just shite?. Dunno, but I've since had a beer and feeling chill, but nothing like Xanax usually makes me feel.![]()
Felt alright to me. Made me sleep and eat far too much, but all drugs still worked. MDMA, G, speed, psyches... Jumped off at 45mg, after about 8+ months on it, and didn't even notice. Obviously different for others.Mitrazapine is a Tetracyclic antidepressant, I was prescribed it at some stage manly as an AD but also to try and help me sleep.
Didn't get on with it at all, it made me feel like I was always on the edge of coming up on acid and not in a nice way.
I'm gonna try to get off heroin/coke with codeine and benzos in the next few weeks - I know the longer half-life benzos are usually better for that but I've only got access to temazepam and alprazolam, I'm guessing the temazepam is probably a better idea but would like to get second opinions?![]()
Longer-acting benzos would definitely be a better option, Pagey. But as long as it's a relatively brief taper you should be okay with short-acting ones. Just need to take 'em more often. Temaz and alpraz are great for sleeping which would be a godsend during w/d if it were feasible. May be feasible if you don't have much of a benzo tolerance. Alpraz in particular is great for anxiety too which may help with some of the mental/emotional w/d shite.
Codeine/benzo tapers are definitely doable. Have done just that with codeine and temaz before. Although probably had some diaz knocking about too... Good luck![]()
Sounds entirely sensible, your local drug would do similar but probably longer and less of the codeine and benzos! How long you gonna give yourself?
