Hi All
Not a regular poster here (or anywhere) but am asking here as this is the place I trust the most.
I have been on this stuff for about five years, I ended up on 4mg/day for the last year (1mg midday, 3mg to sleep) and about two months ago I decided it was time to stop, so I got hold of some weed (Indica dominant Kush) for night-time use and decided to see what chopping out my daytime dose entirely would do. I only felt slightly edgy, not enough to really bother me so that night I cut my night-time dose in half (1.5mg) and smoked some (a little) weed, I slept fine.
I kept the same dose (1.5mg night-time only) for 6/7 weeks before chopping that down to 1mg a night, a week or so ago, still sleeping fine and not smoking weed every night, only maybe 2 nights per week and drinking 2 nights per week.
I have understood etizolam W/D is hell on earth, I believe that to be the case which is what is confusing me and what I am asking about. Is the hell going to catch up with me during the process of tapering this final 1mg or have I somehow dodged a bullet through my physiology? Is that even possible? It can't be surely?
I have been wary of posting this as I know how much hell is suffered by people coming off this and I didn't want to 'rub' anything in, I'm obviously hoping it'll somehow be easy for me but I'm not that lucky which is making me think I have it to come.
I never really smoked weed before due to paranoia, I have been a heavy drinker in the past drinking the best part of a bottle of whiskey in a sitting but that is now stable at weekends only and rarely exceeds four beers. The only other drug I've regularly consumed is codeine which has been at about 120-180mg levels which I've done 3-5 times per week irregularly, never had a problem stopping that for weeks on end so I don't think an addiction has ever formed, I've held that pattern for years. Stims are a very occasional thing for me and haven't done much the last five years as the etiz took too much of the edge off.
I think I'm going to be told the final 1mg is where the problems are going to start but regardless I'm still confused. The etiz was good, all coming from the same 'respected' vendor. I'm going to have to switch though as I can no longer get etiz, was thinking of metizolam.
Thanks for any replies.
