Benzos Best Benzo (or something else) for anxiety?

Owww!
I smoked some JWH and ate some, then since I got paranoid I reached for a benzo. I couldn't find my low Xanax pills so I cut a Lorazapam (Atavian) in half to take .5mg. I woke up the next day with a killer headache, slept in until 5 in the afternoon with a few semi-wakes. I think the benzo did this, haha I never get a hangover on alcohol (gives me insomnia, I pass out for 3 hours or so then wake up and its usually around 5am and I can't sleep again).

I might ask for Temazapam since it improves sleep (seems that people find it very euphoric as well) and shouldn't cause this in case I fall asleep right? Would it help for anxiety as well or is it too sedating?

Depending on the dose - it might be too sedating. I blacked out from 15mg. However, most people would find temazepam to be perfect for anxiety, especially since they may not be so heavily effected by benzos like I am. ;)

Valium was another choice I had, Xanax made me sleep like this the last time I took around 1mg, but I didn't wake up with a killer headache. Klonopin didn't seem to do much of anything when I took it (1mg) I might revisit it and see if its any good for anxiety.

Yeah, clonazepam does nothing positive for me too.

So far since I know that cannabanoids+weed causes me paranoia I'm trying out different benzos while smoking instead of going to socially anxious situations to see what benzo is the best for keeping the anxiety away, or making it go away. Does this seem like a bad idea? I'd like to make sure that the benzo my doctor prescribes me works, but I fear this is a good way to get addicted to the usage of benzos.

I think that there is a lot less paranoia with good quality weed, that's just my 2 cents. Yeah, once you find a perfect medicinal/social use for benzos, it is hard not to get addicted to them. It takes a lot of will power not to use them all the time.

I would say just don't get used to taking them daily and I think you should be fine. Watch out when taking Valium or clonazepam every other day even due to the long half lives.
 
Thanks Captain Heroin. In my experience high quality weed is the one that causes the most paranoia, probably because its stronger than what I'm used to since I'm an infrequent smoker.

What does the half life do for the drug? Since it remains in your system, is it still therapeutic? I read that benzos cause more chances to get cancers so that will probably motivate me to not use them so frequently.
 
i prefer Xanax as far as benzo's are concerned but I am prescribed klonopin,and its not as much "fun" i guess you could say..but all Benzo's are boring to me after being scripted to them for 6 years or longer...Ativan put me to sleep,,Valium put me to sleep, Xanax made me kinda "wild" acting not giving a damn but now it puts me to sleep , Klonopin is what i have been on for the last 4 years and it puts me to sleep,eventually....I am precribed 12 mg a day and all Benzo's are boring now....Never needed any to talk to a girl,but each person is different in their anxietys so,,, try klonopin i guess....

A long half life for clonazepam or valium can be an issue if you plan on using 3 to 5 times per week, because you are more likely to get tolerant this way. If you are using something like Xanax, 3 to 5 doses per week isn't all that bad. For a drug like Valium, taking it 5 times in a week renders a lot more duration, and a lot less recovery time.

Taking hypnotic benzos, or Z drugs for more than 6 months can cause increased risk for cancer. It is probably wise not to use them daily, or constantly. It's good to take breaks every now and then. :)

Also, how are you smoking good quality weed? It's always good to start really slow with weed, too much can cause paranoia a lot easier than just a small hit.

xanax is very addicting and the withdrawals suck sooo much. Also it doesn't last very long. Klonopin for the win

All benzodiazepines will have a similar withdrawal. Long lasting ones are easier to discontinue than shorter lasting ones, but that's not to say you can't have a seizure from abruptly discontinuing clonazepam.

It's more about how you use the drug rather than which one it is when it comes to benzos.

This is not anxiety, or not mainly. but Shyness . You wont cure your shyness with benzo. I tried exactely for the same reason as you, and then just for fun, and now im accicted.

But it doesnt help to be more social, your more lazy and spaced out ( with xanax )
maybe lower benzo like bromazepam or lorazepam can help a little but, I dont think it will do the job.

For your shyness you should try BK-MBDB, Butylone combined with 5-HTP.

Butylone's gonna change you a bit and you will be more talkative and less introvert with people but in a good way not like alcool. and 5-HTP increase your mood and you'll be happy and extrovert.
 
I just got some klonopin(10 mg tabs and 20 mg caps) and I heard it was good but I don't know how much to take
And I'm not sure if I should snort it or eat it.

Yall should help me out and share yalls opinions that would be great.

The drugs that will help you be the most social IMO are the most addictive. I think it would be better to try psychedelics out. Possibly MDA/MDMA.
 
I reccommend ONE dose of MDMA. After this dose, DO NOT EVER USE IT AGAIN!!!!!

Anxiety is usually caused by some event or events that happened in one's life. Sometimes, these are not consciously remembered. However, 5-HT2A partial agonists (LSD, psilocybin, DMT, and a host of others) can unlock/unblock these events and cause them to surface, while at the same time opening up your subconscious. When surfaced, one can find solutions to them, hence leading to the end of the problem.

I never reccommend hallucinogens though.
 
I'm gonna have to look for that MDMA.

Meanwhile I've gotten a kPin prescription. How do I know they work (and at what dosage)? I tried them before and the seemed to do nothing.
 
^ they do still work if you don't "feel" them, depending on the person they can be very subtle. if you take enough to "feel" them, they're definitely working, but don't plan on keeping that feeling especially if you're prescribed daily

they'll make less anxious thoughts float to the surface of your mind, a generally less anxious atmosphere in which to experience life basically

sleep will come easier, you might feel more tired. feels sorta like alcohol, without the dissociative effects (alcohol effects NMDA) and more clear-headed. it has the same long term health problems as alcohol, but to a much lesser extent (increased risk of certain cancers)

long term use will eventually have you feeling normal taking it as "maintenance", i would reccomend either xanax a couple times a week to avoid tolerance/dependence accumulation (it lasts much less long; this would be if you need it for really anxious situations/times/panic attacks), or sticking to a month or so if you're using them for 24/7 anxiolytic coverage

and i definitely reccomend an MDMA roll to anyone uncertain about their current direction or state of mind. i need one myself, i haven't rolled in years because i've had no access
 
Lucky script

;)following a long term egg,the tab form and a expensive opiate habit i decided enough was enough an i ad 2 c my dr. Im uk but i saw a young german gp told her my life and i could not beleive what she started to do she refered to her bhp book an i walked out with a weekly script of 5 blues b4 breakfast 5 blues b4 lunch 5 b4 tea an i wouldnt blame any1 4 thinking im full of shit 18 5mg mogis b4 bed an to top mo off 95ml of meth a day fuk me wot a 6 weeks i had until i went to c my dr an she wasnt there an as soon as this dr saw wot i was being given a fast reduction scheme was introduced but she fukd me up more than when i went in there o well lifes a bitch until benzos are found
 
Yeah they're daily but I don't plan to take them daily (haha lets see how long that lasts). Since he told me that I need to see how much I need (.5mg every twelve hours, can cheat one or two hours and see how much I need) I wanna gauge it correctly. Oh well I'll say 2mg a day and call it quits.

I will ask for some rolls sometime.

Perception, I want to help you, but I can't understand a word you say.
 
I am actually taking them daily, .5mg-1.0mg I didn't even start this way with Adderall even though I loved Adderall.

I can see what they mean by addicting, but maybe my personality has changed since then, Adderall after all was prescribed months ago with a different mindset. I wanted it to work harder, realized that I had a big enough supply to do it everyday, and then decided to do that. This stuff I was going in with the notion I didn't want to be nervous in certain situations, but since I'm always nervous I take it. Seems to give me insomnia though (alcohol does too, I pass out for three hours, and wake up around maybe 3-5). Weird huh?

Oh well I'll keep y'all updated!
 
In the morning usually, yesterday I was taking bites out of my .5mg until I actually ate it.

Its probably the effort, I feel like I taken a lot since I cut it up, and was taking the whole thing slowly.
 
What is around the median amount for where there are benzo withdrawls if I stop taking it?

I think I experienced euphoria, seems to convert any anxiety into fun, if I'm not anxious its not fun though! Hahaha great!
