I usually drink the Grapefruit juice half an hour before taking benzos (or opiates), then when I take the benzos, if I don't take them sublingually or IV, I down them with some more juice.

I agree 100%.
The best benzo potentiators are:

# Muscle-relaxants (especially Carisoprodol, Methoctabamol and Baclofen)

# Cannabis

# GABAergic antiepileptics (Neurontin/Gabapentin, Gabitril/Tiagabine, Lyrica/Prgabalin and Sabril/Vigabatrin)

# Grapefruit juice and Cimetidine/Tagamet


are you kidding me? u actually think neurontin helps benzo potentiation? it never did anything for me. i dont think muscle relaxants potentiate benzos. it just adds sedative effects to it. tagament i could see as being useful for someone who is trying to taper off of benzos and doesnt have very many benzos left....
 
I agree with JasonCrest.

Most drugs that act on gamma amino (hydroxy) butyric acid will certainly add an edge to benzo's. How many mg or g's did you try with gabapentin or pregabalin? They make me feel like I'm on a milder form of mdma.

Why are you expressing your opinion in such a mean way towards me?
I'm not kidding anyone.
And I actually do think that Neurontin potentiate Benzos.
And so do muscle-relaxants, which are some of the best Benzos potentiators.

I used to take 600-800mg Lyrica or 2400mg-4800mg Neurontin by themselves, to get this strange effect they bring.

For benzo potentiation, I would just take 150mg Lyrica or 1800mg Neurontin.

(But I think that among the GABAergic drugs, Tiagabine (Gabitril) i the best, like Lyrica with less side-effects, and 15mg of it would be PERFECT for benzo potentiation....)
 
I've never gotten anything from grapefruit (juice or actual fruit) or tagamet (I've dosed up to 1200mg - 6 pills) to boost benzos or opiates.

I'm not saying it doesn't work, I'm just saying it doesn't work for me. Doesn't make them stronger, doesn't make them last longer.

(EOJ - Haven't tried star fruit yet, 2 stores I went to didn't have it, I need to find an ethnic market or some shit.)
 
will pink grapefruits (one whole fruit, not the juice) work at all? I thought they made my valium stronger, but it may have been placebo.
