Benzos + Alcohol Basic Info

Habit forming, Reliance, physical dependence , high abuse profile and addicting are all in the same boat.

For every addicting drug, they say the same thing over and over.

Even for SOMA, "May be habit forming"
 
anything is habbit forming, doesnt have to be a drug. but benzos are of course physicaly depending. that was my first withdrawl symptome experience from my prescription, this was when i didnt really care and was poppin alot, cant even remember how much a day but around 10-15, mabey 20 of these 1mg tabs. now this was my bodys first ever physical withdrawl...and i really overdid it with the benzos my prescription would be gone in like 10 days from wahts supposed to last the whole month
 
yikes...i sometimes take an extra one here and there but then skip a dose to make up for it cause like you said, w/d is so bad that if i run out 5 days early, i literally cry cause i know whats going to happen. and my doc will only refill on the day theyre supposed to run out (smart woman), and i cant affored to doc shop (good thing given its illegality), so if i run out more than a day early, i cry like an emotionally disturbed child.

very true. thing is with SOMA, i get so completely and utterly effed up on em i cant imagine taking them on a daily basis for a long enough period to get physically dependent. now psychologically, SOMAs are very easy to get dependent on...i cant even begin to expain how many times ive had to be carried to bed because of my complete inability to walk while on SOMA. embarassing as hell too :p

ha he did, i just have compulsive irrisponsible moments..i was likeing the benzos so much, and so high off em i forgot about the whole anxiety disorder, and when my prescription was gone 20 days early, and i started getting these flu and fever like symptoms. after a while of that (i dont remember how long it last) i started getting those unplesant anxiaty feelings constantly........well i figuerd it out the hard way the treating my anxiaty disorder is more important than geting high off my meds (but i still feel pleasent body highs from them%)) there is almost nothing i hate more then having that narly anxiaty scared feeling for no reason at all...it doesnt make me myself...im basically anti-social when i dont have my k-pins, it seems anything will trigger my anxiety if i let it...but thats the thing, i cant not stop it once im in that mind state i stay in it.

Happens to us all on our first script of a benzo. :)
 
That's pretty safe, I would expect the alcohol to affect you a bit more strongly the day after benzo's but not overly so at the doses we are talking about. I would start off drinking your first few at about half pace to try and guage how it is affecting you. Benzo's+alcohol can be fun at the time but what isn't any fun is waking up to find you burned bridges with good people in blacked out rages.
 
Yeah well I don't intend to take the benzos while I'm up and about, like I said I plan to have them at the end of the night to bring me down and get some sleep. I just wanted to know if there was a danger of never waking up or something
 
If you end up drinking to much yes you will blackout but if you do it in moderation it is fine. I do it all the time. I usually take somewhere between 4-5mgs of xanax and about 12-15 beers. But I am more experienced user then the normal person trying this for the first time. Also you have to take in account that alcohol doesnt effect you right away and that a little while after you finish your last beer/shot/glass of wine your blood alcohol level can rise and then it gets dangerous if you are asleep or fall asleep because you can throw up in your sleep or depress your SNS to the point you stop breathing and your dead before you awake.
 
Hmmm if I'm feeling okay at the end of the night I'll leave it then.

If I'm still feeling a bit stimulated still and only had a few beers I think 10mg valium should be okay, maybe just 5mg to be cautious.

Thanks guys
 
Bro, I ain't read the thread, and I ain't tryin' to dicksize, but I take 4-6mg of kpin combined with 1-6mg of Xanax in additional to 4-8 shots of everclear (6-15 shots of regular booze, give or take). I feel fine in the morning and at night simply get sedated enough to induce sleep. I've had terrible lifelong insomnia, and I may ask for a Z-drug at my next doc visit; either that or a combo of a long-acting benzo for GAD and a short-acting one for panic attacks. With my liberal doctor, I bet it's possible. I see him on a quarterly basis, so if I ask for something every three months I usually get it if it's benzo related. Went from 0.25mg Xanax and an SSRI daily to 0.5mg Xanax 4x daily with nothing else. Would love to get my dose bumped to 1mg 4x daily, but my shrink visits are quarterly, every 3 months.
