Hello- I posted a message earlier about stopping benzos after 10 days w o any wd. Can you take benzos for say 3 wks in a row w 2-3 days off between 4 days at a time and be ok? In other words can u take say Valium 10 mg 4 days in a row then stop for 2 days then go for another 4 and be ok stopping? And do that for 3 wks to a month?
 
At first I dont think this would work at all. You would develop an addiction just because you would habituate on that situation. Even if it would work, my personal experience with benzos is that if i was in your situation i couldnt stick to that pattern of use and would just do it everyday with increasing dosage. I think it's quite hard to handle Benzos in a wise way if you own lots of them or even if you are just doing them some times a week.
 
You'll most likely be able to keep it up for a while, but like it has been previously stated, you'll begin to feel the aftermath of "Stop-starting" so often. To my best knowledge the withdrawals only continue to worsen the more often you experience them.

You should be okay, but I wouldn't say you'll have a comfortable 2 days between waiting. I'd suggest 2 days in the week on and 4 days off.
 
Do you want to use the Diaz as a treatment for withdrawal? Or did you just took them ten day in a row but do not use them regulary? If thats the case do you want to use them for the treatment of any form of therapeutic use or just for fun?
 
Thank you. It's not for fun. I've had a lot of stress lately and certain days I need to take them. So I kind of have it planned out. For instance I pretty much need to take it every day next week, but can jump off for probably 3 days after that. It is for official anxiety.
 
How many days could you potentially take a 10mg Valium lets say in a row for legit anxiety (not for fun) and jump off clean? Also how many days after you take ur last dose would wd kick in and what are the major symptoms for a small 2 wk stint in a row?
 
you could keep this up for a while but after a couple months, you'll start feeling really shitty on the week off. Ideally, take them 1-2x per week and you'll be fine. The usual time for benzo physical addiction is 1 month, for a regular user, with no experience of benzodiazepines. For others, like me, it can take as little as a week of daily use to get you physically dependent.

^if you've never used benzos before then 1 month is the absolute max, if you've been doing this for a while, i wouldn't do more than 2-3 days at a time then a week break because valium stays on your receptors for a long time. A 2 week stint from a normal benzo naive user would probably not lead to any symptoms but if you've been an addict before you can expect a mild shitty withdrawal, no sleep, meat backs for back, anxiety, restlessness, delusions, shaking, stomach issues, no apetite and other fun stuff.

oh yes, for valium the withdrawal will kick in about 3 days after your last dose IME. depends on your metabolism and experience with valium though.
 
if you're just about benzo naive then it will last a couple weeks and be a little uncomfortable but not bad. Probably just trouble sleeping and that's it. It will definitely be bearable though, if this is your first withdrawal you may not even notice anything.
 
Thanks what does benzo naive mean? And do u think ill experience wd for being on it for a month? Then stopping? And that'll last wks of wd?
