Benzos Benzo question- am I at risk for serious w/d problems (i.e. Seizure)

[blackie123]

Keeping it simple. 90 5mg Diaz (450 mg) plus 12.5 mg alprazolam over approximately 3 weeks. Heavy usage at beginning (40-60mg Diaz daily for a week) then tapering down. Left with enough to get about 200 mg daily this week mostly alprazolam . I know I'll feel like shit, I can deal with that. Anyone think this heavy binge use puts me at serious risk? No other drugs, no alcohol, only cigs. Eating well and taking vitamins regularly. Ideas gracioulsy accepted. Thnx.

a binge like that shouldn't give you seizures. you say you have 200mgs of xanax left to taper with? that it a lot. if you space that out you will b fine.

Sorry mis typed

I should have said enough for 20 mg per day for a week.

That's....a lot, but I think you're okay if you taper. A friend of mine was heavy into them like that and aside from going through hellish withdraws he was otherwise okay.

I am not a doctor, when in doubt go see one.

You may experience some mental withdrawals such as rebound anxiety or panic attacks depending on the individual. It's unlikely you'll have a seizure for using benzodiazepines for 3 weeks, maybe muscle spasms or twitches though.

When I've gone on binges like that it's just left me feeling more depressed and anxious than usual for a couple days, should take less than a week to get over.

Try and taper the Diazepam (valium) as slowly as possible. Could add alternatives such as Kava or Valerian
