I was taking Etizolam (very exact dosages) of 1 to 2mg/day for a week or so and quit for a few days - no problem.
Then, I took 2-4mg per day for a few days (3 or 4) and then missed a day. I woke up the next night, at midnight, and could not walk I was so disoriented. I had to crawl to the bathroom to use the can. I could not work my phone to call 911.

19 hours later, I woke up and called a friend and talked for about 15 minutes and hung up - I still couldn't walk for shit.
I took my BP (normally, 110/55, HR 50) and it was 145/90 and HR of 100. Used to drive ambulance, so these are resting numbers, not 'get up, run around room, then take BP' numbers.
The next thing I know, it's 8 hours later. Feeling a little better - decided not to go to hospital.
BP 140/70, HR 95
The next thing I know, it's 5 hours later. Felt good enough to drive to hospital - but only because it's just 2 miles away and I took all back streets. At hospital BP 135/65, HR 80. By the time I left, 8 hours later, BP was 106/49 and HR of 46 (WAY low!)
The hospital said my numbers (CDC/DMP) were perfect. EKG was perfect.
It was 3 weeks before my head felt right again. Did not take ANY drugs for 2 months after that.
Did not associate it with Etizolam

3 months later, I had been taking 1 or 2 mg of Etiz every day or 2 or 3 or a couple of weeks. Then, 2 or 3 nights in a row, took 4mg and then missed ONE (1) day and -- Same shit as before, but shorter duration; I was pretty much ok after 8 days.

My mother had epilepsy and I have the hand tremors (clono whatever) that can go with epilepsy or MS, but no-one has ever said that I have epilepsy and I've only ever had a seizure when I took 1 5gm Valium and a Wellbutrin together (didn't know about the seizure risk - this was 20 years ago). That seizure was NOTHING like these.

You don't have to get strung out on Etizolam to get seizures from stopping. I still have a shitload of Etizolam (took 2gm and mixed into 1 liter of Everclear so that the dosages could be measured out exactly; it was pure white - the best).

YOU do NOT want to go through what I've been through.
 
I am sorry you went through that. That sounds really rough. Benzos/thios are definitely powerful. You did take a pretty large dose, 2-4 mg is thought to be on par with 20-40mg diazepam.

Might I suggest ashwagandha instead for an all day thing like that? I have seen it work very well with people detoxing from kratom, and it is very inexpensive at Powder City. It may have some withdrawal from abrupt discontinuation, but I have not experienced it myself or seen it much helping kratom withdrawal sufferers. I would be concerned that with a family history of tremors you may be more at risk of that, so of course check with your doctor... But you may find it useful if they think it is clinically safe. :) Good luck!
