Getting benzos?

[Strawberry_lovemuffin]

Hi all
Excuse my ignorance here, but if you don't ask a stupid question you'll never know I suppose.
I hear a lot about the use of things like Valium to cope with comedowns & getting some sleep, but I'm curious - how do you guys get this stuff?
Do you tell your local doctor you have insomnia or severe stress and get a prescription? Swipe it from your mum's medicine cabinet? Is it available on the internet?
There are times when I'd have dearly loved to be in sweet oblivion after a big night out but am kinda nervous about what to say to get a prescription... SLM
PS. I've tried herbal stuff like Valerian but it's pretty useless

well sompeople have very "understanding" doctors.
others learn to CON there way into getting drugs.
alot of people have online sources(overseas N shit)..it is over the counter in alot of countries
some just have hookups in there town
so yea ,you need benzos if you are into meth/speed

i had the misfortune of going to a doctor at a major drug rehab hospital - these people did not like drugs. i managed to get small amounts of ativan (which helps me a lot - i should be on it all the time =P), mostly by saying i had been on it before, that it was very helpful, and that i only wanted small doses for emergencies.
in my opinion, the best way to be prescribed something is to say that you've done it before. although it helps if it's actually true, because you *will* be asked what dose you took and how often you took it.
if you're not officially diagnosed with anxiety disorder or some other condition which requires benzos, you will probably not get benzos.
and if you just say you have trouble sleeping, about the best you can hope for (unless you're in the non-drug-abusing over-40 age range) is some nasty shit like Elavil (an ancient tricyclic antidepressant which no one should ever use).
unfortunately, simply saying you have insomnia or severe anxiety probably won't work... you'd probably have to go through a couple months of talk therapy and treatment with non-abusable drugs like Paxil.
now, if you really just want to sleep, either get benzos on the street (find out what the pills look like so you don't get ripped off...) or you could try something OTC like benadryl.

Hi strawberry... i hardly take speed but i went through a stage where i was getting sleeping pills from about 20 docs all up. I mean i would go to one.. tell him id been smoking pot for a few years and that id quit 3 weeks ago and could not sleep, now im 19 and out of those 20 docs 20 gave me temazepam or stilnox (ambien). You could just say u are stressed and are lacking sleep, and the reason you want sleeping tabs is because u nearly had a car accident... they'll give em to u for sure.. hope that helps
