Benzos Best Benzo (or something else) for anxiety?

Status
Not open for further replies.
It just made me tired throughout the day, I wasn't more social, my friend invited me to smoke weed with him though, and I wasn't paranoid. It isn't supposed to make you social, just take away the edge right?
 
it makes me more social (before tolerance at least) but i have social anxiety

yeah it definitely makes the weed high more enjoyable
 
I would go with Xanax, but any benzo is probably going to do the job as far as killing most of your anxiety when you have no tolerance.
 
I've only tried xanax & valium - valium for fun & xanax for anxiety. I take what I think is a low dose? (0.25mg) so I don't get sleepy or forget everything (I tested it out and took more than prescribed...and then I woke up the next morning wondering when I'd gone to bed? & you don't really want that happening when you're out & about).

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to feel? but I do know that the choking pukey feeling I get sometimes at the end of my day goes away and I don't feel like the walls are closing in, etc.
I don't think you're supposed to drink on it? but a pill & a shot of whiskey and I'm gold.
 
Since they're both GABA receptor they wouldn't really potentiate each other, but rather just add to the same effect I suppose. How much did you take to black out?
 
The potentiation effects exist in that their all CNS depressants. Be careful when mixing them as it can slow your breathing. But anyway, if your looking to take benzos for therapudic reasons, take it from me, do not use them recreationally as well. They will quickly lose their effect for both cases.
 
benzos vs Kava Kava

I take valium every day and night and have been for 20 years, I get them from my Dr. and friends,(Dr. doesn't know how much I take or for how long), but I thought I'd try Kava, I took about 3 days worth in 1 dose because of my tolerance and it did nothing. I am not depressed I just like Benzos and opiates. I need Benzos for sleep and opiates for pain, and weed kicks them all in.
 
In my opinion, you will only find out which benzo would be best for you in vivo, or in the field. At the very least, the benzo experience that I have is what would generate any advice I'd give, and I think the same would go for yourself. I also agree with other peeps that in my experience as well as opinion, benzos for anything but sleep or mind-splitting anxiety is generally a profoundly counterproductive idea. Instead of a drug you might consider just making a very extensive effort to be real honest all the time and not give a fuck about much else.


That being said (and, being on some prescribed Temazepam for sleep at the moment), I'd look into opiods, myself. Or a low dose of diazepam/valium or something long acting but not too impairing/hypnotic, maybe klonopin/clonazepam? At the very least, something you wouldn't have to worry about wearing off on you for a while...

Just read your post on the clonazepam actually.. I'd personally try at the .25 or .5 mg range, see if you can get away with it. That's the mindset I've taken with benzos and, coupled with, you cannot get away with drinking and taking benzos, have kept my ass out of some shit.

I would not recommend Temazepam at all, unless you know some wild girls...
 
Right, the guy falls asleep after 0.5mg of lorazepam and 0.25-0.5mg of clonazepam is going to help him.

I'd find out what I suffer from if I were OP. And OP probably already knows something (or at least his doctor) and that's why he takes sertraline which is common in social phobia. And generally speaking this is some kind of social phobia if one has problems with contacts with girls.

Yes, there are tons of relievers for you, really. Opioids will do the job, you're from the USA then you would need a prescription for some codeine/hydrocodone/oxycodone containing medicine or just hit the streets in search of heroin if you thought 'it's a great idea'. You might also try benzodiazepine derivatives that are not 'sleepy' and aren't strong (hint: diazepam, also bromazepam isn't sleepy, it's actually purely anxiolytic). So if you wanted to get into polytoxicomania , you'd know what to do, right?

- - - - -

Try some MIANSERIN / MIRTAZAPINE even along with sertraline. Another non-ironic hint if hydroxyzine doesn't work. Using pregabalin would be misusing it in these circumstances but it's always better than benzodiazepines addiction-wise.
 
What ever you are taking to put yourself to sleep, take a fraction of that and drink an energy drink.

That said, don't get blasted on benzos to talk to chicks. It wont work out as well as you think.
 
if you have problems with anxiety, caffeine/stims aren't the best idea even if they do improve confidence short term (if you have social anxiety they'll likely just make you paranoid though)
 
I am so paranoid! I went to a psychiatrist today got a Xanax prescription!
20x .25mg for a month, no more than one every four hours, as needed. He mentioned that he would try this before Kpins though, so I hope its enough. I can't wait to get it! :D

Congrats man!

I personally think 0.25mg alprazolam is a surprisingly low dose (I only really feel it at 0.5mg) but it's one of the better benzos to get RX'd.

I hope everything works out for you.
 
20 or 200? if u like the effects, 20 x .25 alpraz will go reeeeeeally quickly! be careful w/ those pills depressica! being addicted to benzos kind of sucks, and if you're using them often, the positive effects will start to diminish pretty rapidly.

this isn't necessarily the best harm reduction advice, but if you're really looking for a drug/pill solution to help you perform better in social situations and with girls, and benzos alone make you tired, i think benzos combined w/ rit or adderall and maybe a beer or 2 could definitely be a good combo. hell, throw in an opiate and you just might be able to comfortably do anything you want! (Look out ladies!) Approaching situations a few times under the influence might bolster your confidence enough to allow you to do it w/out the help of drugs. THEN AGAIN, succesfully using drugs to help you function better in common situations could very easily lead to you believing that you NEED the drugs to enter those situations at all, which would lead to addiction and all of the glorious baggage it carries. Tread lightly my friend, but you might as well have a go at it and try out some different things. Just try to keep in mind all of the potential dangers and be careful!
 
It is a low dose, he mentioned that it was just to try it out to see if it will work. I know its almost nothing, but I didn't wanna act like a drug seeker.

Stray cat, if this was a rep based forum, I would definitely rep you!

I guess he was afraid I would get dependent on them. He did tell me that if I took more than I was supposed to, I wouldn't get them anymore cause they are recreational.

I guess this is like his Atrax, next stop: Klonopin!
 
There's no stop after clonazepam to be honest (works long, makes you feel alright and prescription for chronic disease makes it cost 0).
 
I wouldn't advise using benzo's in social situations they are a bitch when you get addicted to them .I am currently addicted to valium and would love to get rid of them but the cold turkey from benzo withdrawal is sick
 
I don't get any euphoria from either Xanax or Klonopin. In fact I don't know what I am supposed to be looking for. I don't know if either helps at this point, just because I haven't talked to more people or whatever. It took the edge off weed, but I think its silly to take a drug for another drug.
