Flubromazepam/tapering/cross tolerance

[CosmicG]

Hey guys I am currently prescribed .5 mgs of Xanax three times daily and take about 4 to 5 mgs of Etizolam throughout the day on average sometimes more. I am thinking about tapering down a bit and wondered if anyone has any experience with Flubromazepam. I currently have access to it and was thinking about purchasing a solution from my vendor. I have heard it is somewhat like Etizolam just lasts much longer. Does anyone here have any experience with it and do you think it could be used as a good tapering benzo since the half life is much longer then say Xanax or Etizolam?
I don't want to stop taking the Xanax but it seems like there really isn't any cross tolerance between Xanax and Etizolam. Perhaps because Etizolam is a thienodiazepine and not a benzodiazepine. Any thoughts?

You can taper with flubro, it has a half-life of what I think to be around 100 hours?
Hospital detoxes in USA use klonopin to taper from xanax, or valium to taper from klonopin. xanax half life = 6 hours, around the same as etizolam. klonopin half-life - around 50 hours. valium half life? around 100 hours. So yes, flubro would be a great tool with assisting your taper from the short-acting benzos (less half life means hits harder and faster but leaves faster - you probably know this)... This is why switching over to flubro, then gradually decreasing dose until 0mg, is a good plan. Look up some taper plans for benzos too, those will help. Substitute valium with flubro with what they're proposing (as far as tapering goes).

Good luck!

I plan to do the same thing, but from Flubromaz-olam (v.short half life) to Flubromaz-epam (v long half life) for treating a physical addiction suspected to be cannabinoid withdrawal. The -olam was all I had at the time when I went cold turkey on everything, (turned out i needed it, and it prevented a seizure) my thinking being that a couple of doses of flubromazepam should see me maintain around the clock. I plan to go to nil though. I never used benzos with enough regularity to pick up a habit, pretty sure of that.

I have an addiction help page on here, and I saw this and I am wondering if it worked well for you?
