Hello Bluelighters,
[Mods: I placed this thread in Other Drugs because it deals with a benzo that is considered an RC and is not prescribed. Please migrate it to Basic Discussion if you feel that there is where it is more suited. Thanks.]
Now in regards to my query: I went through a vial of a Flubromazepam pg solution of 150 mg in about 2 to 3 weeks, dosing an average of 8 mg per day, and of course noticing a marked decrease in its effects, meaning of course that a dependency has set in.
My question is, considering its (proposed) 106 hour half-life, after what length of time should I anticipate the withdrawal symptoms to reveal themselves.
I read somewhere that 7-14 days is an average time.
Does anyone have experience with a similarly habitual use of Flubromazepam (i.e. time/dosage)? And what was the experience like in terms of symptoms?
I have some Clonazolam pg solution on the way in a few days. I am aware its most likely not the best for tapering, but it is the only RC benzo to which I am attracted outside of Etizolam, whose half-life is insufficient for a taper. I am also aware that an "attractive" benzo is certainly not ideal for a taper, but oh well... I will make it work. It has to work this time, as I need to get off this stuff.
Additionally, I am prescribed gabapentin, and have been for years. However, this may not mask the benzo withdrawal symptoms to the degree that it does for for some because my tolerance to it is high and I have just begun a taper. (I am now on 1200mg per day, and dropped from 1500mg about 2 weeks ago.)
Any help is appreciated. Thanks to all.
