Benzo Discussion Vol. 2

I'm no doctor, if you took this for more than a few weeks you would need to taper, I'm assuming these are not rescribed by by a doctor ?

The danger if you have a big supply rather than a prescription is that 30 will become 40 and so on and so on, if its working fo you I wouldnt see that kind of dose as a big problem, others may disagree. But I woudl be cocerned if you found yourself taking more. Tolernace is a bitch with this stuff and your alreday saying any lesss wouldnt touch the sides.

I'm a hypocrit (apologies for the spelling my old spell checker refuses to work on Win7) as I take much more than that but I know its turned from something I took to ease my anxiety into a drug habit.

My adice would be if you can keep it at 30Mgs and its helping you then fine but if the dose starts rising , look up the Heather Ashton Manual and get off the train before things get to nasty.

Best Wishes
 
Advice well appreciated I'm certainly not going to argue and claim I know what I'm doing. I've had them prescribed before which is why I know they work but these ones arn't. I was getting desperate and within a day or 2 or starting this way I already feel much better. Its the morning ones I need the most as I was waking up with terrible panic. I wouldn't even mind dropping later in the day doses if I found I didn't need em.

One thing is I'm not taking them for sleep so won't be getting dependant in that way.
 
Pregabalin is a wonder drug for me for anxiety, I stared on it about five weeks ago and my anxiety is so much more manageable! My psychiatrist said that it has a really good synergy with my olanzapine which I am prescribed for bi polar, I used to have really bad insomnia where I would reagulally go three or four days without sleep! Nowadays I sleep like a baby, it's great!

Anyway, like I was saying pregabalin is brilliant for anxiety and sleeping problems and is a good alternative to benzos, my doc was much more comfortable to prescribe it!
 
Being force tapered off diaz in a psych ward, down to 10mg a day and feeling alright surprisingly, considering i've been on 30-150mg daily for 4 years
 
That's quite a benzo habbit you had mate. Well done on the taper, hard to get off benzo's for many people. Bad addiction to have aswell as they make you forget so much and play on your mind too much. Good work :)
 
Yeah i'm fine, the ward doc is a v old guy who thinks a drug problem is a mental health problem though so i'm abit stuck 8)
Down to 5mg today and off on weds or thurs, should be interesting, my memories worse now then when i was on em!
 
Good luck mate! Sounds like your doing well so far, keep up hard work! And try to keep your positive attitude, probably the most important thin when coming off a drug!
 
Its opiates thats the problem, i'd be happy to stay on the diaz as i think clearer on it if that makes sense and sleep better, its just so i can get out of here since i dont have a psych problem, il deal with the drugs when i'm out, craving summat every hour but thats cause theres fuck all else to do

Good to here from you mate, if you do't mind me asking,how long did the taper last and did they give you anything else to support the WD.
How coem it was a forced taper, did you get sectioned or like me they wouldnt treat you for something else unless you are clean of something else.
As you know I'm partial to the odd bluey myself;) PM me if you wanna
 
I've been here for a month & started tapering off about 2 weeks ago, 30 to 20, 20 to 15 nd 15 to 10 cause i wouldnt let them drag it out. Yeah i'm on a section 2 for observation after an accidental OD, no diagnosis or owt though since theres nothing to diagnose haha. Got promethazine for sleep, doesnt help much though, but then neither has diaz for a long time
 
What wrer they giving you before the taper, sorry to interogate you but its of real value to me at the mo
 
30mg a day, and some antibiotics for pnuemonia. Tapered myself to 30-50 a day over the last few months, nowt else drug-wise here despite my (half) joking requests for morphine and ketamine. You still tapering off mate?
 
It was all going well was down to 45Mgs then fell off the wagon in a big way, just trying to get myself together to start back on again, but I found then intitial drop down from (and this is based in PK illicit so who know the real dose) 150Mgs + to 60-50 no real problem. I'm just so tempted to do an acelerated taper and see how it goes, I could hold on 20-30 but the problem of having them and not taking them is more the issue. It would be like having a bottle os scotch in the house and just having 1 or 2 shots, it takes allot of self control and I have little.

I think the anxiety of Xmas is building, bu that could just be an excuse.

Any how glad to hear your well, assume the OD was opiate related?

Your not alone my Friend in being unable to taper ,i cant even get my weekend methadone to last me the sat/Sunday , if its there and makes me feel good, it talks to me till i take some more and then another. i get 35mg diazepam weekly since a taper and take em in a day, forced tapers are all that works for me,i.e. observed no take homes. best wishes with your endeavors
 
Never tried Xanax so picking up 10 1mg tabs to start me off this week as I wanted something for surviving comedowns after New Years, etc. Was wondering what a good dose is to start off with for recreational? Probably be mixing with some weed too as I'm a daily toker.

Only really used Diaz and Xanax, and I really don't like Xanax. Even a 2mg dose doesn't feel 'as good' as a 10mg diazepam. Yet it feels a lot 'heavier'. Its rebound effects kick in quickly, and if used before sleep, I always wake-up 5-6 hours after dropping off and unable to sleep again. If you're using it for a comedown I can imagine the temptation to redose once it starts wearing off will be pretty big.
 
Yeah I'm no fan of xanax either. Last time I had it, it really messed up my sleep for a few days after doing 12mg in a week. 20mg of diaz is more effective at staving off a comedown and making you feel better than 2mg xanax even (which is the same as 40mg diaz).
