Man I should check out this thread more often... I recently decided to get back on clonazepam, essentially, and have acquired some Galenika Rivotril brand 2mg tablets, from a UK vendor... blister packed, look fine... and for whatever reason I've always had pretty good luck with clonazepam specifically, valium is a whole other ballpark of course but in my naivety I wasn't even sure that this brand of clonazepam was even being faked, which obviously in retrospect is silly... if it wasn't once it would be eventually...
Anyway so I'm not 100% sure they're not genuine even now... they taste OK, I think, although... is it possible they taste a LITTLE bit off, slightly too minty or the wrong kind of minty? Yes. Am I absolutely sure about that? No.
This vendor was one of the newer ones and roughly half the price of some of the other more established ones on the "less illuminated" 'net, so to speak, which perhaps should have been a warning sign. But, fucking... feedback was essentially 100%. Which leads me to think there's actually a problem with the DNM feedback system, too many people review instantly because of the hassle of even logging in in the first place, just to politely release the escrow ASAP, and another proportion of people just don't give a flying fuck what they take and can't even distinguish between 1 benzo or the other - which pisses me off separately, haha. Anyway... slight aside, are y'all talking about ordering from clearnet sites, mostly? I skimmed back a couple pages and see people talking about trustpilot and the like so I assume that's gotta be the case.
Anyway so subjective effects, this is such a useless guide I know and I really need to send off a sample to WEDINOS I guess. But, I think something goes on. I've only dosed cautiously so far, but have no real tolerance to speak of having abstained from benzos for 6 months+ before the last few days. But I'm feeling... somewhat sedated. Too fucking sedated, potentially... and cognitively... maybe moderately less of my usual baseline of general unease about just existing but... it's disappointing.
I remember a while back I found half a 2mg clonazepam pill from an order from a different source that I'd just lost and forgotten about (so 1mg dose), and the impact was far more striking, in my memory. Clonazepam for me is usually stimulating, motivating, and extremely clearheaded - obviously primarily just from the quick alleviation of my apparently intractable baseline of general unease - not messy and sloppy like many other benzos... which is the reason it's the only benzo I've ever used to "self-medicate" (as opposed to purely recreationally)... So it's fucking annoying if this is some fake bullshit... and, christ, I really don't actually know for sure, I've been in a weird place recently so I'm wondering if I'm even slightly noceboing myself, maybe I just have a slightly rose-tinted memory of good days where I just happened to also be taking clonazepam more often...
So far I've taken 2 x 0.5mg doses 1 day, actually fell asleep really early then but, I'd had barely any sleep the night before so not tooo surprising... did wake up feeling a bit weird and fuzzy though whereas again clonazepam has precipitated a more positive, "clean" wakeup the day after, for me, historically... Taken just 1mg so far today and... I dunno... doesn't clonazepam usually hit pretty quickly and unmistakeably? I've been holding off taking a heavier dose, like a whole 2mg tablet, don't wanna get on the escalation train generally but I guess maybe that'd give me more certainty... guess I probably am just gonna order some more from a more established vendor for more money and compare, although now I'm thinking do I even need to worry about it being the same brand if there's some bad batch of fakes working their way through the entire distributor ecosystem...?
Fucking bullshit, manufacturers of fake drugs are the worst people alive...
