In my mind. The choices are many, the consequences
So, I went thru all 450 mg of my rx'd diazepam in 3 days. Now I'm w/out for the next 27 days. I do have 10 alprozam (sp) comin but it's not gonna get me thru the hell comin. Anyway, my question is this...can any of these drugs help me thru WD till I get my next script and what would be an average dosage, mg wise?
Ambien 10 mgs
Trazodone 50 mgs
Gabapentin 300 mgs
Hydroxyzine 25 mgs
Clonidine .01 or .1 mg (can't remember)

The clonidine is rx'd to a family member so it's not real viable but I could get at least 10 of them.

Thanks for the help! I know I'm goin to wake up to hell tmrw bc I have no idea when my dealer will be by with my "purchase".
 
Gabapentin will 100% help you through benzo withdrawal.

Go sparingly on the alprazolam and supplement it with gabapentin.

You're in for a rough ride for the next few days at least...
 
Tripman, putting Ms Ashton's fine work to one side for a moment what would be you ideal withdrawal schedule and supplements from lets say 200mgs of Diaz a day as an example ?
 
YellowPolkaDotHalo: I have to basically go cold turkey bc my area is dryyyy, I am gettin 10 xannies tmrw that I'm goin to stretch as long as i can.

Tripman: I take.1,200 mgs of Gaba at night, what mg should I take durin the day when I feel the WD's comim on?

Thank you everyone!

Oh goodness, yes!! Lol I don't know if you're bein sarcastic but to sum it up: only sibling killed by a DD, then my first son dies, then a divorce, then my second son dies (x-linkedadrenalukodystrophy), got beat up by my ex who also beat my baby, ended up in a DV shelter, FINALLY livin in MY house. My name's on it and I feel quite proud of where I am now considerin. Oh and on baby two, I got gange green in my c-section and was reopened with no medication and baby 6 my uterus ruptured and I about bled out. I have my 4 beautiful girls tho. So yes, I'd say "hard life"...
 
whoa thats a story and a half - is it all true? sounds like some CRAZY shit= do u have to pay for your pills? a re they generic? how do you get them paid for if you dont pay for them and how long will they pay for them for free if you arent paying for em?

I may be wrong but wouldnt Pregablin be better as its more potent than its younger cousin Gabapentin..... And as a bonus =D Pregabalin is available in 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 225, and 300 mg capsules, and recently a strawberry flavoured oral solution has been developed, containing 20 mg/mL with an added sweetening agent (sucrose) to mask the chemical's bitter taste. The maximum daily recommended dose for pregabalin is 600 mg.

Ive only ever tried Pregablin a few times recreationally as i read that it was a Benzo Potentiator ( i didnt find it worked much if at all ) i remember the last time i took some. id necked some benzos beforehand and then took 900mg Pregablin..... It was noted down as another awful drug experience never to be repeated! =D

Sadly it's all true. And I left out the fact that my ex husband kidnapped my kids and no one can find him. He has the two we had together. I only get thru this stuff with drugs sadly and the thought the someone else is hurtin worse than me. I got cursed with x-linked adrenalukodystrphy that is how my sons died. Women have symptoms but since we have two X chromosones it's not fatal to us women. Anyway, I have decent insurance with a $2-$3 co-pay but they won't allow an early fill.
crimsonjunk - I'm suppose to take 15 mgs a day. I was on Xanax for 3 years, the last rx was 5 mg a day. So of course 15 mg diazepam a day is like tic tacs to me. I've been BEGGIN him to change me back but it's fallin on deaf ears.
 
well the reason I asked is because the higher your dose the more dangerous the withdrawls will be. I guess the better question on my part would of been how many mgs of diazepam does it take to keep you out of withdrawl. Im sure you know how dangerous benzo withdrawl is it can cause seizures and in rare cases fatal. If I was you i would consider doing whatever it takes to get more benzos whether that means off the street or inpatient or outpatient detox.
 
God I'm so sorry to hear about all your problems, hard life indeed :( Yes, the Xanax and Gabapentin ( as said Pregablin would be better ) will definitely help, but if on average you are taking about 150mg of Valium per day you're in for a hell of a w/d ride. Get some help if you can, its not gonna be easy. Or safe :?

Oh ok, gotcha. I rec take upwards of 150 mg a day, spread out in about 6 - 8 hrs. Rx'd 15 mg a day. That's a joke. I mean I was on 5 mg of Xanax rx'd and rec 10 -14 mgs at one dosage. I hate to say it but I found out two pretty good things today. My fiance (who I will usually call hubs) got a bonus from the Army for a lil over $400 and my dealer is stocked with xannies. Thank God for all that and the fact he will be here at 4 pm. 28 minutes! Now when he says stocked I don't know how much but I'm prayin at least 30! I do not wanna have wd again from benzos! And I don't know what amt of diazepam would stop wd. But Xanax I can survive on 4 - 6 mgs without wd'ing.

FlyOnTh3Wall - thank you. I just keep rememberin how many people are worse off and damn it I'm a survivor. I know I need to deal with it all but I push it wayyy back in my head, lock it up, take my meds (both rx'd and rec) and that's it. I know the ghosts will come to haunt me but I can't deal with that right now...

well i dont know if it'd be cost effective or if you even have a source of diazepam but consider using it to taper down since its half life is so long compared to xanax.
Sure you may need to take more of it at first bu the extended half life might really help you string out the doses.

having that access to so many xanax may help the present WD's but its only making thigns worse for the next Wd's. eventually you have to think about cutting your usage down. The great thing about benzos is that they work so well. The bad thing about benzos is that they work so well.
 
good luck baby gurl, try to take just enough to keep out of w/d and diazepam is probably the best for tapering off due to the long half life, stay safe and i know its hard as i love to mix roxis,valium,xanax,somas all together so i know where you're at. they are all rx'd so i take one of each and it does give me a slight buzz but it's so easy to say fuck it take 2 doses at once. fight that demon and try to just keep that booger off your back.
 
Good luck from me too and may it pass quickly. The world shits on you the way it has, and you can still raise a smile? Good on yer!
