I, and I assume most everyone, was quite distraught by the recent and most likely permanent unavailability of Etizolam, my hands down favorite "benzo". Got me to sleep, completely eradicated hangovers, and even the after effects gave me the happiest and most creative state of mind that i've ever felt. But anyway, it's gone, and there's been a rush to find an alternative.
Enter Nifoxipam, Flubromazolam, and Clonazolam, the last two of which pertain to the triazolo class of benzodiazepines (I'm not sure what class Nifoxipam falls into). Anyway, for the past 9 weeks my (nightly) benzo use has consisted of Nifoxipam, Ativan, Flubromazolam, and Clonazolam.
The Nifoxipam was chill and sedating, but I wont be getting it again. Flubromazolam, on the other hand, blew me away upon my first couple experiences. NOTE: I ran out of Ativan and for a period only had flubromazolam for insomnia treatment. And now begins the trouble, i've been using it for about a week, maybe .25mgs or .50mgs nightly.
I noticed after a few days that when using the flubro to sleep, I would get pretty notable daytime anxiety the next day. Being my only means to fall asleep, I pushed onwards. These symptoms have since developed and I am getting concerned. On or off the flubro, I started noticing motor and balance impairments, sort of a sense of dizziness or dissociation. Sometimes my body will sort of lock up for a few seconds, sometimes I will feel intense vertigo, sometimes I get ringing in my ears, sometimes I feel odd burning sensations in my brain, sometimes my limbs go numb, and occasionally i'll feel a burning sensation under my skin.
Needless to say, I stopped taking it, for fear of developing Ataxia. So my question is: Are these symptoms side effects of the drug itself, withdrawal symptoms, or an accumulation of the drug in my system causing impairment? OR - Am I withdrawing from Ativan as it actually has anxiolytic properties while flubro does not.
Can you get withdrawal from an old benzo while trying a new one? Has anyone else experienced this? My suspicion is that the predominantly sedative effect of triazolos is causing the Ataxia or whatever it is, and that this drug might be too powerful for the community of RC users.
Side note: I've gone through significant trauma involving a friend recently so my stress levels are pretty high. Also i'm a hypochondriac.
