Yeah, the sensation of losing your mind in heavy WD can be terrifying, in fact everything is fucking terrifying around then. Raw unrelentless terror, too weak to scream, etc :|
 
the old 'war inside my head' is starting again. Reducing benzos and bupe at the same time is too much.

I know i can get etizolam down to 7mg a day, ive done it, but with reducing bupe at the same time as etizolam, the negative shit in my mind wont stop chuntering away at me. I may have to temporarily increase my daily intake of etiz to get off bupe, and keep what ever sanity i have left intact.

I had to look up "beholdent".

Most people will have a harder time sticking to their tapering schedule if they have a big stash on hand.

I don't think that getting more benzos would make this guy more "in control" of his taper. He currently gets a 10mg p/day script and all signs point to that being enough to keep him safe (although it's not pleasant.. but tapers never are).

It's fair comment but both booze and fags are freely available and the OP has kicked both of those.

I always got in enough to see me through the taper with a bit over so all the tabs were the same, I'm not saying it was easy and I had been taking advice from the local Addaction for both Benzos and Booze, imposing the taper and then abstinence on myself was the only way for me....control freek abviously.

I'm pretty sure I did 3 tapers over a period of 2-3 years, maybe less (can't remember can I:D) all were successful I just relapsed, I've never had a regular Diaz script but even if the pills I was taking were less then 5mg (10mg pill) I was way into 3 figures a day for sustained periods along with a bottle of whiskey.

I've been off Diaz for over a year and only occasionally have a few Xanax for stim come down and apart from one instance were I brought a bottle had a few shots and tipped the rest down the sink it's been about 2 years since I drank at all.

Even if it's not in the short term, in the longer term abstinence is a choice not something imposed on you by the medical profession so I think it's better to tackle it head on.

Doctors around here seem to want to get folk off their benzo scripts.
My neighbour is a 53yr old bloke who has been on diazepam,temazepam and also gets mirtazapine for his sleeping and he has been on the benzos for over 20 years for anxiety issues but his doctor is gradually reducing his script which my neighbour is not happy about.
Sometimes he can't leave his flat due to his anxiety. Now he drinks to try and block his feelings out.
 
Guys, please forgive me if this sounds like no big deal compared to what some of you go through,but I am after some advice.

I discovered valium about 18 months ago. Since then I would say I take a 10 mg pill, roughly 3 times a month, when I know I have a stressful day at work ahead, or just need to get a good nights sleep. Exceptions to this would be when I go raving and need about 30mg to knock me out. I usually take about half a g of mdma on a big night, and these tend to only be about 4 or 5 times a year.

Anyway, I really enjoy the valium. I'd go as far as to say that it's helped me in life, especially at work. I got a new job this year, and it can be very stressful, but after a valium-sleep, I always cope very well with whatever the day throws at me. I'm quite disciplined (I think) in not increasing the amount I take, but I really look forward to the days I do take it.

My question is this. Do I have anything to be worried about? Is this an addiction?

I'm wondering if I should have a 3 month break or something, just to test myself?

What's everyone's thoughts?

You're sick and you're going to stay sick.
 
3 times a month isnt an addiction, just be careful with them. because they are nasty as i have found out if abused
 
Easy on the double posting, something seems to have rattled old luchy's cage;)

You are the model of responsible use, Diaz hangs about a fair while, maybe 60hrs so as long as you don't start using more than once a week you should fine.

I'd also avoid uping doses, you should not be building tolerance with you model HR drug use pattern:D

You are now free to go about your business
 
Your post almost sounded like a piss take, 10 mg 3 times a month and 30mg to get to sleep after a rave, your either a hypochondriac or taking the piss
 
brimz has your long term benzo use caused you any problems, like increased depression, bad moods, poor judgement, increased tolerance inevitably ? (these are some of the problems i get from them)

please pm me, if you see this and want to reply, but dont want to publicise personal things.
