Benzos Best Benzo (or something else) for anxiety?

Not open for further replies.
I like 2mg of either Xanax or Klonopin.

For a panic attack I like to go with Xanax cause it acts faster, but for general anxiety I like Klonopin.

I got a hit of DMT (really impure I think it was a orangish power, not crystals) and even though I didn't see any visuals and was grounded the whole time I feel a lot more positive.

I'm not sure if I wanna take the benzo cause Klonopin will just work and I'm not sure if I would get anxious at all, basically wondering if I should test my limit or do it safely.

Hmm I'll try without first, I can't be on benzos all day... (yes I can haha)

(Also going to try good mushrooms soon, maybe they will help too)
 
Dude Benzos is NOT going to get you to talk to girls, there is no "magic pill" that encourages this.

Benzo addiction is one of the worst things you can do to yourself and will be a much bigger problem then "talking to girls"

Besides, benzos wouldnt even fucking do that! You think your mr. confident on benzos?! You are so far off, benzos are for panic attacks, and anxiety.

If your having trouble with dealing with yourself, get on SSRI's, Im on lexapro 20mg a day, and it saved my life after 3 years of drug abuse that messed me up in the head so bad that I couldnt talk to girls to save my life. It has helped me tremendously, and it wont KILL YOU if you come off of it.

DO NOT go on benzos.

Also if your looking to be mr. confident, benzos are the wrong class of drugs your looking for. Adderall would turn you into mr. confident, and is exactly what your looking for, but again that is for people with ADD so if you dont have it dont do it.

Get therapy; I know that might sound dumb, but its very serious. Helped me out so much.

ALSO: Do you like what you look like? Self confidence is huge. Do yourself a favor and go to the gym and get fit. Im sure you have heard it many times, but im telling you, it helps SO much.

Im only 5'6, im a short guy, but im very fit and because of therapy, recovery, lexapro, and working out, I am now the person I want to be.

I repeat: DO NOT GO ON BENZOS

Hehe, I guess most people don't look at Location :p
I'm on the Klonopin already, as well as Adderall! Its not helping at all.

Can I ask about your history?

And I guess I need to take more amps to get that confidence but its more ingrained I think. I kinda spiral alot into depression.
 
I've been prescribed Alprazolam, and Clonazepam for my anxiety. That's Xanax and Klonopin respectively. Truthfully, I MUCH prefer the xanax for my kind of anxiety. It sets in quick, and doesn't linger on that long as to make me a zombie all day. It's quick and powerful and works right when I need it to. I couldn't stand Klonopin at all. It took me at least 3mg to get the desired effect I would from my usual xanax dosage and the shit made me a complete zombie no matter how much I took. All day i'd walk around extremely lethargic even at the prescribed dosage levels. With the xanax, yes I'd be a little "loose" but I'd still be very clear minded and able to get things done at work. With the kpin, I just wanted to smack my face into the desk and nod off.

If the klonopin is not working for you, work your way up to xanax. It's very good at relieving anxiety, but it's not as sedating(unless you're taking high doses) as klonopin or diazepam(valium, my second fav).

When I was prescribed xanax, my prescription was for 60 1mg pills, taken twice a day as needed. If I wasn't trying to get fucked up, this dose worked PERFECTLY for my anxiety. When I was switched to klonopin, I was up to 2mg, taken twice daily and it was no where near as therapeutic as the xanax at 1mg. I think the next time I see my family doctor, I'm going to ask if I can try the diazepam(only have bought it and taken recreationally). . He's the same doc that's prescribed me the other two benzos so I don't think I'll have a hard time getting them out of him. He knows I have legit anxiety issues.

I'm on zoloft and i absolutely love it. It makes my happy all through out the day. It's kind of like a natural high cuz i'm always happy. I don't know why everyone is scared of the side effects from ssri's. I've tried several of them and zoloft is the best, try it out.

Well I tried zoloft and prozak cause my doctor reccomended it. And now I know why people are scared of them. I couldnt get a boner, I had horrible head aches lost my apetite and I would eject semen when ever I took a crap. FUCK SSRIS. Im on klonopin and I take like 1 a week at most, its the best benzo IMO, I had ativan before and it makes me hallucinate so its fun recreationally but not practical. Plus k-pins last a long time and I dont have any trouble staying awake or driving.

dont be fooled by the look of your DMT, I have/had orange little goo balls about the size of sand grains, home made by a friend and I can smoke 5-10 mg off foil and get crazzy visuals. Last time a few days ago, I took about 15 mg max and had visuals last about 6 minutes. It was positive in that it reafirmed my desire to get off opiates but it was honestly slightly scary, confusing and took alot out of me. I hate the way it makes you look in the mirro, so dirty like a moneky, and when I look at my leg I can see all the hairs sticking out like antennae and it appears as if my flesh is degrading infront of my eyes. It definately remindsw you how mortal we are.

And to the above poster about xanax. To each his own. Xanax for me even at low doses 1-2 mg makes me feel gross, like kinda hungover/drunk at the same time and tired. I get a horrible feeling in the back of my throat the day after and it awlays makes food and water taste nasty. klonopin on the other hand works much better for me and doesnt make me feel like I have avian flue. Not to mention xanax at least for me lowers my inhabitions 10x more. Ive done some dumb ass shit on xanax/alchy.

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.

MDMA IS a hallucinagen. And MDMA can lead to anxiety more than it can help with it. SORRY BUT NOT GOOD ADVICE for a harm REDUCTION site.

^ clonazepam FTW
 
Yeah I'm not taking it on my 'off days' where I don't go out, but whenever I take it I tend to take it at social events and whatnot. Its always in my bloodstream though, just because of its half life.

The DMT afterglow is gone. It wasn't permanent at all, and now the anxiety is back.
 
clonazepam, the rest can be a bit sedating with no tolerance, clonazepam however i ate up to 13mg and just felt calm (this was with a tolerance though) :) never found it sedative.
 
Hey for anyone looking at this thread, I found a low dose of psychedelic 2CE is working... at the moment. If anything changes I'll be sure to update this. I know that there isn't a cut copy answer for anything so lets see how far psychedelics take me!
 
Have you thought about coming down on your "upper" intake, bc that sure can't be good for anyone with anxiety.

Psychopharm, any honest shrink will tell you, is much more an art than a science. You probably just need to be honest with your doc and "run the rack" with the benzo family, find what works through trial and error. For example, with xanax, I have the tolerance of a race horse, but 10 mgs of valium will put me to sleep for 2 days.

My personal fav for anxiety is xanax. Start off with a small dose (get the 1 mgs and cut them in half) and see how you do. You DON'T want to cop a xanax habit, bc when you try to come off it, you WILL have seizures of taking high doses for too long.

As far as generalized anxiety disorder/panic attacks, IMHO nothing beats xanax. Klonos are longer acting but, as someone said, they are not as much "fun" and, at least for me, don't do it for my social phobia.
 
I had Xanax first. He didn't like it much because he gave me .25mg for every eight hours. I could tell he didn't like prescribing them, because he immediately announced something called 'clonazapam' haha.

I'm good with kpins for a while, I don't even like them so I just take them whenever I smoke weed or just get paranoid, its been okay for a bit.

I didn't take uppers for two days, it was okay, I was actually more social with nothing than what I've been doing so far. Hope I can do okay with just nothing and chillin' on psychedelic afterglows.
 
This thread makes me so sad.

All you've done is demonstrate how resolute you are to find a chemical solution to your problem. After being on benzodiazepines, of all varieties, shades and colors, for a DECADE, I'm finally finding the sense within myself to begin the process of tapering down and eventually quitting them. I've switched from Xanax to Valium so that this will be possible.

Psychedelics are wonderful tools when used properly, but their "afterglows" will always fade. Their use is not a permanent solution to a fixed problem. They represent moments of insight, after which immense energy and time must be spent by the individual to integrate those moments of insight into their lives in ways that will allow them to become permanent. But moving from DMT to 2C-E to whatever constantly is abuse of psychedelic drugs and will most likely eventually prove counterproductive to your efforts.

If I may make two suggestions that changed my life. They will require work on your part, and if that does not seem feasible, I must pity you; not from a holier-than-thou point of view, but because the only way to conquer that which you seek to overcome is by working for it.

1. Read "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor E. Frankl. You can read more about it, look at some pages, and read others' thoughts on the book on Amazon.com's page for the book

2. Find a cognitive-behavioral therapist in your immediate area and ask them about ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). Preliminarily, I can provide you a link for ACT for Anxiety Disorders.

I am practicing ACT currently; I am new to it, but it's already beginning to change my life in ways I never knew were possible.

After a period of true commitment to either one or both of the suggestions made above, perhaps a psychedelic endeavor would be advisable for integration of all that you will have learned. You must, however, have something to integrate first before you spend your time attempting to integrate.
