Can I confirm - you're recommending Diclazepam?
How much and how often?
My usual supplier has stopped etiz but did offer 1mg or 2mg pellets. The diclazepan is White with a top score. I'm not awfully taken on with them, on makes me sleep and sleep
Don't want to be moving on from some fucker hookie benzo to the other with little idea how to get off without insomnia, rattles and depression

Any ideas troop?
I died a little death when my xanaz supplier dried up

...pity me
Yes it appears to be a good substitute especially with the very long half life. As I'm tapering i cant really feel the ever reducing doses, but i suppose that was always going to be an inevitable part of tapering whilst 'one' gradually gets 'acclimitatised' to the lower dose. I'm managing to get to sleep ok, and im down to 4mg, which im absolutely over the moon about. Gonnna try to reduce by 1/4 of a pill every week or however long it takes to feel comfortable on the next dose reduction.
I fluked my way down to 4mg, it wasnt even consciously planned, but it seems that when i made a huge 2g batch of etiz, and didnt have a big enough storage vessel for 1 litre of PG, i had to split the mixture into 2 conatiners. The first container was fine, and lasted a few months, but by the time i got onto the second one it seems that the etiz had 'settled out' of the mixture, and i was just siphoning off the more dilute top layers. If i had knowingly reduced my dose by about 5-8mg im sure my mind would have played tricks on me, and ive had made fucking hard work of it, imagining all osrts of increased anxiety, paranoia, and insomnia when there hasnt been a bit of any of it. I dare say the last leg will be the hardest regardless, i cant see myself fluking my way down to zero, unless the benzo fairies come in at night and gradually dilute my mixtures.
Sorry if you've heard all this already, im sure i posted it somewhere else, (but i havent hardly been on BL atall for the last couple of weeks, so ive lost track of what ive posted and who's responded) but im just so pleased to have finally got a handle on the stuff again and got my dose down to far less extreme lunatic measures. I just couldnt seem to ever get properly started on the last part of the taper, although i had gradually reduced down from 50mg, to 35, to 25, and then when i got down to 13mg i seemed to stay absoltely stuck fast on that dose for a very long time.
Apparently diclaz is meant to be roughly the same strength as etiz, there's really not much in it, perhaps 1mg of etiz = 1.5 diclazepam in terms of strength of its modes of action according to Dr Ashton on the Wiki chart. It appears to be relatively clear headed, especially compared to flubro, and compared to my oversized etiz doses. I dunno how diclaz comapres to xanax, it may well be higher on the hypnotic stakes, though individual physiology plays an enormous part, according to that wiki article i read. I must admit that i do find it exteremy difficult to wake up and get out of bed in the mornings, even after 7 or 8 hours sleep. I take 4mg about an hour before bedtime. Just that one dose per day.
Aplogies for the unusually long winded post, i had some speed last night, and i thought that it didnt seem to be very strong atall, so i took loads, and although the effects were far more subtle that im used to with speed, the stuff hasnt half got legs. Havent slept since Friday night, and just a tiny sublingual pinch this morning has seen me coast through today. I just hope that i can sleep tonight, it cant last THAT long surely.
It's very strange that it suddenly feels like good luck seems to be on my side, especially regarding getting down to 4mg of etiz/diclaz without even being aware i was doing so, it's about bloody time i had a few lucky breaks though i reckon, and i really consider myself extremely fortunate to have completely effortlessly and unknowingly reduced down to a semi-sane dose. Although obviosuly it wouldn't be ethical for medics and drug treatement services to gradually reduce a patients dose without their consent or knowledge, it seems to be a grand way of getting round all the 'stress and trauma and ordeal' that i probably would have made of it all, being a wimpy hypochodriac and all.
Right I'll have to stop typing now or people will start to think I've become Limpet Chicken.8(
