Diazepam- which brand did you find most effective?

[nato23]

I have a bunch of Mylan 10 mg ( green). I never have seen the attraction of valium, though. They are a useful tool once in awhile but not a particularly good high imho

I don’t take them recreationally. I’m anxious and rather than being pumped with SSRIs that take months to work…and tried 5-7 types of SSRIs. If they take months to work… what the fuck to the doctors expect me to do until these SSRIs “kick in”
Nothing takes away my anxiety like benzos. That’s where the attraction is to me.

It’s like being in pain, going to the doctors and telling them head is in pain so they give me medication that will take pain away in a month or two. I just need to bare the pain until this poison medicine takes effect

Made in Pakistan, thought they were slightly underdosed but still grear

Yeah. I think Martin Dows and Bensidens are the better options in the UK unless you pay silly money for the accords which I treat myself once with a strip and tbh, not a massive difference in strength but I’ve been taking them that long I don’t feel the wobble. Even if I eat a full strip - it’s annoying as fuck, feels like a strip wasted. The ksalols though, the latest batch was fire!

I did abuse them but only because my tolerance was so high ,I was having to take 4 mg of clonazepam on a working day but at the weekend I did take more than I should of or needed ,I want to get into a position now where 2x 5mg of diazapam is sufficient,
I went thru hell Comming off them but life has been awful without them ,they motivate me or give me the confidence to lead a normal life
People say there is no recreational value to benzos or there not euphoric but does there have to be ?
Relief from anxiety beats short term euphoria any day

The Easium 5mg were good ,I can't remember where they came from

That's what I mean about a tool, though for my needs it's more like a once in awhile thing. For my own experience, I don't think they work if taken regularly. It's same with opioids: man they are great for getting rid of anxiety, better than benzos. But if I take them regularly, the problem just gets worse. Same with benzos. So I limit them.
Good luck

Yes I fully agree ,that is the down side ,it can make anxiety worse in your mind over a long period but it still gives you the confidence to face situations in the here and now
After taking them for years then stopping your brain seems to have to relearn basic coping skills and the 9nly way it can is to put your self in terrifying social situations ,not literally but normal social settings

I take 20mg - 40mg on diazepam a day. But if I have a shit load to last me and I want to get a bit wobberly - a full strip does nothing. The ksalol alpraz does a better job.

The relief from anxiety is the euphoria. Etizolam is the only benzo that gave me opoid/benzo euphoria. I hate how I can’t get Etizolam no more

I used to be very greedy ,when I had shitloads I would treat myself to a whole strip of 10mg diazapam which is just a waste
I quite like lorezepam but clonazepam was my go to
I did manage to get 10mg temazapam but you use up most of a strip in one dose

I mean I’ve been on them for 10+ years and they work for me. I did taper off them. I was clean of them, I even got drug tested. My anxiety my crippling. Tried all these poisonous SSRIs which made me feel sick.
So thought- the Doctors can’t help, I’ll help myself.

You don't realise how much tolerance builds I've seen folk pass out with 2mg of clonazepam and I've munched my way through 10mg during the day
That's nothing to be proud of

I had access to Restoril 30mg tempazepam capsules, they were some of the best benzos I’ve had. But they were just a one off. But yeah, I might change it up and get the Martin Dow Rivotril.
They are going up in price too.

I refuse to take SSRI's ,the doctors hand them out like sweeties "oh mirtazepine doesn't agree with you,try fluxitine "
Something that takes 4 weeks to even start working (if it works atol ) but makes you feel twice as depressed to start with is not for me

Yeah, I could eat a full strip of clonazepam… nah it’s shameful and pricey. I wish I could make a strip last a week

I know 2x 5mg of diazapam a day is sufficient, I just need the will power to take it responsibly lol

That’s exactly my thinking towards them. Makes you more depressed before they work!! What stupid fucking medication takes 6 weeks to work but makes you worse.
Sweet Doc… my daily crippling anxiety will work in 6 weeks…. After making you making you worse. WTF!?

 

[lost weekend]

Bensidens but Galenika are good as far as Valium goes but thier Ksalols Alprazolam are the best alpraz I’ve had.

Alprazolam doesn't agree with me it tends to make me supremely confident to the point I'm going out of my way to confront people

Rivotril made by Galenika? They taste like sweet.

Yeh I know it's tragic ,they don't even care which ones they hand out cos they know you can't abuse them
Honestly I felt suicidal the next day after taking mirtazepine
