I know the downside to taking a benzo every day (tolerance, withdrawal, death by withdrawal etc.) I know this is an HR forum but there's really no need to tell me the risks, as I know them. I was on xanax for 2 years at 4mg / day.
I realize I need a benzo daily as I can't leave the house / get a job without it.




So my question is: Has anyone taken diclazepam daily without any problems (organ damage, etc.)?

and also I've heard mixed things in terms of dosage. Would 4mg be equivalent to 4mg alprazolam?
 
I think 1mg of diclazepam is around 7mg diazepam. 4mg of dizclazepam won't be equivalent in strength to 4mg xanax but will last far longer without needing to redose.

It's probably safe though no way to know for certain. I'm taking it at the moment (for a few weeks) without health problems. I originally bought it because I was running out of clonazepam and had a moderate tolerance, it's dirt cheap as well. It got rid of the withdrawal from the clonaz thankfully. There are a ton of benzos and I don't think any of them are particularly toxic so I'd presume the same for diclazepam, but without studies there's no way to know for certain. Also there's the risk of vendors selling dodgy pills.

The vendor I have is really reliable.
I really hope they aren't toxic, because I'll probably be on them for years as no doctor will prescribe me legitimate benzodiazepines.

How do they compare to xanax? In terms of anxiety reduction?
What do they feel like in general?
 
They're likely fine. I was just saying there's obviously always a small chance of getting bad quality products. They feel kind of like a long lasting lorazepam to me, they don't have a strong punch like xanax. They do reduce anxiety for me but it's not as strong as xanax. Etizolam is a better anxiolytic tbh and more comparable to xanax.

Oh cool. I'd rather stay away from etizolam because of the possibility of blepharospasm. I've read some horror stories.

You think 2mg diclazepam is enough to reduce anxiety / lower inhibition for the day?
 
Yeah I'd start at 2mg, it takes a while to kick in btw and should last pretty much all of the day. It prob won't get rid of your anxiety as well as xanax but should help and you can always use a higher dosage another time maybe 3mg if it's not strong enough (the 2mg pills i've got i just bite in half to get 1mg) but don't expect miracles, it's not anywhere near as powerful as xanax.

Thanks mate. What dosage do you take? And it lasts all day?
