Zopiclone is GABAergic just like benzos, really no difference at all in terms of dependence.
Promethazine can be had OTC as Phenergan, you get 56 pills for £7. The 25mg ones are enough to knock you out for 12 hours or more if you have no tolerance. I actually cut them into quarters when I use them alongside codeine because otherwise I'm just asleep all day. Strong stuff.
Yeah i took a lot of Phenergan when i was using DHC by the boxfull a couple of times a week, which ruined my tolerance to both anti-histamines and opis. Really very expensive to push an opi tolerance up, whether its for DHC or ODT, i was taking like 500mg of ODT at a time by the end, and that would keep me high most of the day, infact Id wake up still high the next day which was really nice, i didnt need hardly any sleep, and had loads of energy for cleaning and tidying and stuff like that.
The reality of my financial situation was that after a while i could no longer afford those kind of opis at those kind of doses, and id only take them for a day or 2. And then maintain on like 30-40g of kratom for 5 days or so until my next dhc or odt treat. All that DHC, ODT and kratom also seemed to completely fuck up my h tolerance, something i'd never even tried until this year, tried it a few times, and although it would keep me feeling well all day, id smoke my way through a whole gram in a few hours, which was certainly not cheap. So yeah i think you either need a full time job or to be some kind of dealer or runner to pay for those kind of habits.
I didnt realise how lucky i was when i had been working solidly for like 20 years, had a decent car, enough money to pay for days out, and some luxury audio equipment, or to play pool for hours. But from being fairly loaded a few years ago, i now have next to no money left. I obviously need a job if im gonna keep up all these expensive habits. In fact I dont intend to, im planning on pretty much staying quit off opis. GBL and stims will be next to quit, having plenty of hash makes quitting stims so much easier. And having plenty of Pregabalin or Bacoflen would make it easy to ween myself off any GBL habits. If i can keep my use of GBL and stims to once a fortnight, or once a month, things should be a lot less problematic.
But it was quite worrying how quickly id develop dayly habits, so that id always be taking either opis, kratom, stims, gbl or hash every day. Nice as such habits are i can no longer really afford them without a job.
I didnt think I'd be able to do it before i started smoking the sedating strains, but it's an absolute doddle with plenty of hash. Essentially im looking for a complete lifestyle change, revert back to looking after myself, going for long hikes etc, i'll soon rebuild my fitness, stamina and resilience, it only takes a couple of weeks of pretty determined hiking and stuff, and before you know it you soon have the energy for 16 mile hikes round the national parks and stuff. Well I did before my last 6 year binge, should be able to re-gain that, especially if i quit vapeing nicotine too, that makes a huge difference to my health, as suddenly my appetite returns and im interested in making proper meals again, rather than just living off cheap junk food, when i can be bothered eating at all.
