Do you ever find that if you take a recreational dose of benzos, opiates or other downers expecting to get a nice relaxing night of sleep, and end up staying up all night instead?

Maybe I do it to enjoy the nice effects longer, but it's just weird that these downers will keep me up all night if I take them at night. Unless I'm literally nodding to the point of passing out, but that's a different story. lol.

Anyone else have this up all night thing happen normally with downers?

Yep. Also happens at therapeutic doses. When I'd be particularly anxious and not suffer as much from lack of sleep in general, I might find that the hypnotic I'd just taken left me in a blissfully relaxed state, so I'd end up dicking about on the internet or reading a book all night.
 
Yeah this is exactly how I feel right now, lol. I took some xanax expecting to be all sedated and fall asleep, but I'm wide awake cruisin' BL :P
I blame the internet ;P

My tolerance issss getting a bit higher though. 5mgs used to make me almost black out, and now im just mildly relaxed and I also had alcohol, so wtf..... oh well. I gotta cut back on the benzos anyway lol. I've been doing them almost every day since I quit opiates, which wasn't long ago ugh....

Oh 5mg of Xanax would still thankfully knock me out... Although I notice I've fallen into a pattern of 1mg Xanax + 2mg Ativan almost every day for the last three weeks or so. Need to slow down, since for once, I don't actually need them now.
 
I don't have to much experience with benzos, but with opiates when I take a recreational dose if i'm like busy doing something i'm up and ready to do whatever. As soon as I will start to relax at any point I would want to pass out. That actually has happened with every dose Ive taken small or large. I'm specifically referencing to oxycodone.:)
 
I started controlling my BZD use, so I don't pop like I used to.. However, I always did that with opiates.. Also, BZD's, if I'm being honest, but I somehow dug that hole deeper than opiates, so no bueno..
 
Yes, all the god damn time. I took some suboxone expecting a relaxing night and to pass out early a few nights ago, ended up staying up until 6am.

I think I'm at my worst when I have BZD's and weed. I'll take a nice recreational dose, smoke a bowl, and then repeat until I run out of one or the other..
 
Only if I'm on opiates

I need a stim to counteract gaba drugs if I'm gonna stay up on a recreational dose
 
Yeah, happened to me the other night......took 20mgs of hydrocodone & 5mgs of Valium around 10pm, was still awake at 5am, that pissed me off......was watching TV & on internet all night, but still, getting only a couple hours of sleep sucks.

I did that after my mdone taper, ended up super strung out an hooked on benzos.

Also always how it goes who wants to sleep when they can bl an feel awesome.
 
Opposite for me. I expect to be up cruising all night and will get pissed if I go to sleep.
 
With opiates I do, doesn't matter if it's a more sedating one or stimunlating one. Benzo's never really knocked me out cept when I FIRST started taking them 10/12 years ago and even if they did I would have to take massive doses.. I have cut back on my benzo intake, but got 80 after not having any in, fuck seems like forever, thought a good dose of Klonopin with my Sub(20mg of Klon throughout the day and 1mg of sub in the morn, and 2mg Sub at night) would have me kinda noddy, but I just feel relaxed and more of a full-agonist feel, only thing that makes me fall asleep is smoking a joint or blunt, bowls just relax me. But if I had a joint or bowl, I would start to get a little noddy/sleepy now. One thing that's guranteed to put me to sleep by nighttime is a mix of my Sub dose, large dose of benzo, couple grams of Gabapentin, and a bowl/joint(spread throughout the day, the weed for nighttime). Like yesterday:2mg of xanax,14 klonopin, 2400mg of Gaba and some weed...had ambien one time and that put me to sleep, also, Mirtazpine puts me to sleep but no buzz, just sleep and wierd dreams.

yeah ive been up all night again... lol
it seems to be a thing that just happens. I had no idea how late it was til it was 4am now its like just after 11am and I'm contemplating sleep finally.
 
It used to happen to me with benzos at college. I'd take god knows how many bars and I'd be up until other people started waking up and then I'd hide in my room so they didn't realize I'd been up all night again. Xanax was the worst for that situation. I mean oxymorphone would just keep me up like a stimulant, and I'm talking decent doses of the stuff. Idk zaleplon always kept me up all night for being a sleeping medication, it would always be 9AM with an entire script gone and I hadn't slept a wink. Idk I was meant for downers, but they rarely kept me down. Part of me thinks that I always felt so shitty sober that once I'd gotten high it seemed like a waste to sleep that feeling away. Now that I've been sober awhile, if it's time to take my night meds and I feel good for some reason, I try to put it off because it'd be a waste to go to sleep feeling good about anything at all, especially when the odds are I'll wake up miserable again.
