going out fort a meal in approximately 3 hours with some work colleauges who none know of my benzo use,i feel the requirement to take some benzos to fully enjoy the evening to over come my SAD/GAD.although i will be drinking alcohol (minimal amount planned) as we all know how much harm (medicinal and general who/what/where/when/why???) mixing the 2 can cause.

the thing is my family have become most upset with my benzo use/abuse as i go over the top and its obviously really noticeable ( the fact of me giving up benzos) i dont want them to notice anything,i took around 4 mg xanax and 4 mg lorazepam over the course of the last 2 and 1/2 hours and after just chatting with my mum nothing seems untoward,no slurred speech,staggering/shuufling foot movements and from what i can see by looking in the mirror (apart from an ugly mug!) is no apparent visual intoxication.

thing is im just about to head into the city centre yet feel quite nervous/anxious and the meal with the work crew is only 2-3 hours away.

so my question is which benzo would be best for me? more alprazolam/lorazepam? maybe clonazepam? but that does really little for me and the brand i have clonotril are babana flavoured and leave me with nasty heartburn (and as the planned meal is a curry there probably a very bad idea)

diazepam would be my number 1 choice but too long half life so il still be pretty out of it tomorrow!

temazepam have messed me up biug time the last few timew i have tried them,and they seem a particular bad one for mixing with even small amounts of alcohol and also leave me with big amnesia (as does alprazolam incidentally)

nitrazepam? how would that suit the situation? and nimetazepam just dont really suit me (they leave me feelin a mix of drunky,wobbliness and a nalmost feeling of like im coming up on a stimulant,very odd!)

tranaxe and oxycontin are out the question as like i said i want to be carefree and sociable,or as i like to put it 'feel myself' or how i once used to feel and how i remember enjoying life.

sorry about the essay and sorry if i ve bored you..

all answers/help/advice much appreciated as always :)
 
A very moderate dose of xanax should be the ideal benzo for this setting.

I get the same effects as you with moggys and they are my least favorite benzo.

0.5mg of alprazopam should be ideal even with a bit of alchohol
 
I'd recommend a small (.5-1mg) dose of either clonazepam or lorazepam, these are the most "functional" benzos, IME.

However, I don't know how you react to them, esp. if your going to mix them w/ alcohol (lorazepam+alcohol has always ended badly for me).
 
+1 for alprazolam (1mg maxi) or a very low dose of diazzpam (5mg), but in your case Xanax is better
 
I would take valium. My family always knew when I was on xanax, and when I swithched to valium they thought I was off benzos.
 
I would take 2mg, then 1mg at night. The valium dose is lower though, but I do usually take extras at the beginning of the script.
 
I prefer clonazepam over xanax and valium. I usually only take benzos at work and i feel clonazepam helps me deal with customers more efficiently, and overall just makes my shift better.
 
thanks once again guys for all the info.

btw i have a very high tolerance,since just after 1 pm today i h ave ingested 10 mg alprazolam,4mg lorazepam,4 mg clonazepam,not feeling too bad,although my friend wants me too bring some goodies out with me (good fun idea?) or possibly (bad,silly idea?)

temazepam,nimetazepam coming OUT with me.

this could be interesting :D
 
Valiums make me surr. I speded on xanax, especially 2mg and up. I tried brompazam but I got terrible results from family and friends.

I just don't take v s when around people. Xanax yes.
