Benzos benzo withdrawal- prescription taken away after two decades. how to deal??

[polarthedog]

I would have suggested kava if the habit was less serious but 25 years? That person needs benzos asap.

The reason I suggested it was apparently it multiplies the effects of benzos, so she could stretch her stash until she can get some more pills

you can get what is PURPORTED to be diazepam or clonazepam. there is 0 guarantee a darkweb vendor is going to send you the real thing. they might, they might not. it's a huge gamble.

you could get diazepam, or they could mix up powders at the press, because they're drunk and don't give af. and this: https://www.tiktok.com/@redditrevealed/video/7054238003098782982 could happen.

If my mom were confused and dealing w benzo withdrawal, it would be the last element I would want to add. I'd rather go with her calmly to the ER, explain that a crazy doctor has taken a lady who has never been a drug addict off a high benzo dose, and that she is having dangerous blood pressure and seizure symptoms and we need to get her medicated/stabilized and a referral to a good doctor.

Ah shit. I forgot about COVID. @sorrowfulmoon are the ER's an option currently in your area? and how much extra medication does your mom have squirrelled away(if any)? I really hope she's been saving bottles for years or something like that.

Omg, I just listened to that tik tok video, that’s fucking sad

Sad for the people who passed, I hope that man lives a haunted and hollow rest of his days. He made the choice to start vending lethal substances, smoke dabs and not label shit.

posting because my mother who I live with has recently been taken off her medication of 25+ years. We are at a loss what to do and she is really feeling sick. her clinic and others that take our health insurance have stopped prescribing benzos and she has been taking clonazepam 1mg 2x daily. A new doctor since the others have left doing telehealth

How does the medical system work where you live? And which dr ('s) have stopped her med's. Can you switch insurance's or get an extra one on your existing one that does cover Benzodiazepinen?

Over here there is your normal dr. and specialist's in all different disciplines.
The problem of insurance company's having power over the prescription's is also a problem over here. But it just mean's you have to pay for them yourselves. But they have a lot of power even politic has hard time getting round them.

If a seller is able to press indistinguishable from the original and seal them in blister packs so indistinguishable from the original that even addicts can't tell the difference and leave positive feedback... Well that would be very impressive indeed.

Anyways, I think it's a good option to have in your back pocket for when the medical system fails you.

That is way beyond a mistake, he took 4 lives because he was too high on dabs. That’s not an “oopsie” that’s 4 counts of manslaughter or second degree murder depending on where you’re at. He already had success vending safe stuff, decided to make a leap to fent for profit, and failed to take any safety precaution. I believe drugs should be legal, regulated and prosecution saved for people like this that display such breathtaking cArelessness with the lives of others. Rant over sorry for off topic comment.

I just don’t believe anyone should be punished for a stupid mistake, personally, if I was a judge, I’d. Make him go to some educational classes, and let him go. Jail doesn’t help anyone.

Locking him up won’t bring the people he accidentally killed back to life, and he obviously isn’t going to ever sell drugs again, the right thing to do would be to forgive him.

If I ever make a similar mistake, I would want people to forgive me, so i would be a hypocrite not to do the same.

His guilt and self hatred is obviously punishment enough, locking hm up is completely redundant.

Shit happens, vengeance is not the answer.

Rinse and repeat.

Make an appointment with her regular dr. and explain your mum is being screwed. Just don't use that words. If you haven't allready.
