Etizolam - My drug hell

Good to hear it sir! So long as it's not daily, I reckon you're okay with Etiz, I personally find it something of a Godsend, but, as I've said ad-nauseum, I "try" to keep all my usage under control. Everyone makes mistakes though & I've made my share.

Day-to-day anxiety is truly crippling & it's very easy to fall into the trap of over-use if you find something that really helps, isn't expensive or problematic to source & appears to come with little side-effects. It's very easy to get locked into it & when it comes time to stop, naturally the original symptoms return with a vengeance.

Thanks for other kind comments, especially from that genius dude up there ^ I am quite often wrong but I do try to be funny at all times ;)

I want some Xanax! Lol

tbh this sounds like an alcoholics rationale for getting pissed every day to stave off a hangover...benzos are a stop-gap measure and not a long term solution to anxiety issues.
 
I'm in the throes of moving house and I'm feeling very anxious right now - really do hate not being organised and in control of my environment. Never mind the clutter and hoarding tendency appearing out of my other half's "office" (aka tardis). It's chaotic - I'm panicky :|

How many days can I get away with talking etizolam without getting into trouble?

And what dose do you recommend?

Had a xanax problem last year that took several unpleasant months to sort out, I really don't want to go back to that territory again.

Thanks
<3
 
2mg for 3 days i cant see being a problem and should provide decent anxiety relief, maybe even 1mg depending on your tolerance, hopefully it should be mostly sorted by then :)

Thanks ColourfulK. I've popped 1mg down and feel a lot more chilled. Probably miss-labelling boxes and will forget where I've put everything now lol.

3 days should get me through.
 
3 consecutive days? On the fourth day you might feel an urge to take another 2mg. Be strong and say no.
 
Possible, same with taking it the one day. I'm sure kate clued up on the addictiveness of benzos especially after a xanax problem. i find etiz to be okay for a few days use, used 5mg a day for a week last week and stopped last fri and had no adverse effects, everyones different though and it cant hurt to err on the side of caution.
 
If you just take it the one day I don't think you get that physical urge to take it more tho. I'm not sure when you develop the physical - heart-racing, anxious - urge to take it again tho. It might be longer than 3 consecutive days.
 
Even doctors say Valium is ok for 14 days. Are you seriously suggesting etizolam might only be ok for 3 days?

I'm interested, not sarcastic. I started the etizolam nightmares thread remember.
 
Might be its more obviously psychosomatic-ally obvious if you suffer from anxiety anyway, if i go to sleep on diaz i feel okay in the morning but not so much with etiz
 
I find the opposite. When used for sleep Vals leave me a bit dopey in the morning, Eti have almost an uplifting, anti-depressive afterglow.

Tell me about it! And alcohol is unfortunately just as useful for day-to-day anxiety, more socially acceptable then necking RC's (not that Eti is truly an RC, but you get me) & far more easilly available.

I rarely suffer anxiety so habituation hasn't really been an issue with Eti (or any other benzo) but I wouldn't hesitate to take the odd 1/2 mg (half a milligram) if I needed it. I may not be one of them, but some people do suffer day-to-day anxiety that isn't caused by use of benzo's, but if that's whats used to treat them, they could cause problems when withdrawn.

There may well be other ways of dealing with my rare sessions of anxiety, such as therapy or hypnosis or whatever but while technology has furnished me with Etizolam & I can use it safely, I will. Alcohol however I need to seriously knock on the head completely.
 
Sounds like etiz is really short-acting. Like, shorter than Xanax. We know the shorter half-life benzos aren't so good for longer use, as they're generally more potent. If etizolam is potent enough, it could really downregulate a lot of receptors, in a short amount of time, especially if you have no breaks. 3 days seems like a very short space of time, even if you're taking a load, however. I've never taken it, so can't comment fully, but wouldn't expect it to be worse than Xanax, really. Maybe it hits more than just GABA-a receptors. GABA-b? That'd explain a lot. Does anyone really know?
 
derp this thread has made me a bit concerned about my use :/ mainly 1mg each night for sleep never during the day other than the occasional comedown but it has been each night now for around a month... 2mg occasionally but like I say only in the eve for sleep. is that enough to warrant a taper?! gonna stop now but always thought that as the half life is around 6 hours it should only really affect me in the evening.
 
I reckon you should be alright. You'd notice issues during the day, I would have thought.
 
I got myself physically dependent on these things, after many w/ds, I have a seizure after not taking them for 3 days. I blame myself as I knew that benzos were addictive, I just fell in love with them when they seemed to fix my anxiety and paranoia. Now I'm more fucked up than ever, am trying a Valium taper but it's really hard. The anxiety and depression is crippling and I'm bed bound most of the time. I hope other people don't get sucked in like I did.

Sorry to hear this Kace, stick with the Valiums & keep working on the taper, it doesn't matter how long it takes, just stick with it... & if times come again in future where you need these sorta medicines for anxiety or sleep, be sure to take regular breaks & likely you'll avoid rebound issues.

Best of luck & let us know how you're doing :)

I think you might be on your way to being hooked if you took Etiz for 14 days consecutively tho? I can't say 3 days for certain because I used to try and stop for a couple of days every so often - I think the final session was about 6 days in a row and then I stopped for good and took a whupping.

I think 3 days might make you feel a mental urge to gobble em but I can't see it creating that heart-racing, physical need to take them you eventually get. Probably wouldn't get the emotional nightmares either.

Does it eventually catch up with you or can you take them for 3 days, take a day off, another 3 days etc and not get withdrawals?
