I've been using benzos recreactionally for years but have never been addicted to them or used them for long perioids so I dont have tolerance. Last time I took benzos was over 3 months ago and yesterday I took 0,5mg alprazolam, 30mg diazepam and 20mg temazepam and felt nothing from them (except a little tired)
An hour ago I took 100mg temazepam and 30mg diazepam and I am not feeling anything again. I dont have any other drugs in my system except for hash and one cup of coffee (I have also eaten today so took them on a full stomach)

why is it that I am not feeling anything from these benzoes? as I understand it is that benzoes make gaba work better so could it be that I dont have enough gaba in my brain so that benzoes could make it work stronger? I have gotten buzzed off benzoes before but somehow they dont seem to do anything anymore.
 
What do you mean by 'buzzed' off of them?

I've took at least 5 different types of benzos, and the only real effect I've got from Xanax, Valium, Klonopin, Lorazepam, Temazepam etc is less anxiety, disinhibition, tiredness and eventually blackout and amnesia.

I am by no means an expert in pharmacology [quite the contrary] however, I don't think it is logical to jump to the conclusion that your brain isn't producing enough GABA because you haven't had much effects twice.

I have gotten "buzzed" off benzos before and by that I mean feeling of euphoria, feelings of inhibition, being more talkative and kind of a lightheadedness (more like a "buzzing" feeling in my head)
thats what I am after but those effects only come to me 4/10 of times when I take benzos

You could still have a tolerance even by using them off and on.
 
I see what you mean by buzzed. I'd agree with Pally Pete. It's a much more logical explanation than there is a problem with the amount of GABA in your brain.
 
Euphoria is a rather rare thing to experience with benzos in the first place. Often times if it is something you experience at first, it subsides quickly with continued use, and even a tolerance break will not change this. Just stay safe, and bear in mind that increasing your dose isn't likely to get you any euphoria, just a nasty blackout.
 
sometimes certain people develop a perma-tolerance. who knows why you arent feeling the benzos, could be psychological ad you could be syking yourself out, or it oculd be chemical and your brain chemistry and molecular processes could be fucked up.

i dont really view benzos as giving an amazing euphoria like opiates, rather a subtle calm feeling is what i get. they are a nice addition to certain drugs (not condoning oplysubtance abuse) and even temaz is overrated and doesnt provide a high for me. i would know too, i have had a 30mg temaz script for 4 months, and they are overrated and not that amazing. sure they provide some nice relief and comfort, but i dont get overwhelming euphoria.


stop abusing benzos!!! they are not made for you to get high and whn you really need one for an anxiety attack or sleep or GAD/SAD, they wont work properly if you have a huge tolerance and abuse them.

stick to pot man, i find MJ to be much more euphoric than benzos. benzos like xanax are HIGHLY overrated
 
yeah benzos are fun like that; you feel completely fine yet are tripping over everything, spilling your drinks and slurring your words, saying "just a few more will do it."

i never get euphoria from benzos, not even from etizolam, feels great not to have anxiety though.
 
you seriously don't want to get to the point where you're having to take mega doses of benzos just to enjoy them recreationally.

benzo addiction is legit

if you took 100 temazepam and 30 diazepam and you ar eliterally feeling nothing - not feeling benzo nothing - but actually not noticing the drugs at all then you may beed to just call it quits a bit with them. because the dose just keeps going up and up and you're already taking a lot for just recreational doses. Sure people definitely take way more than those doses but its not really something to brag about..
