I've been using an increasing amount of primidone over the last week and was wondering how long I've got before mild shakes turn into full on tremors if I keep at it?
Well, my foot was wiggling like a bitch trying to tie my shoe this morning and I've noticed some small twitches & RLS. Youre saying if I'm having any shakiness I should expect it to get much worse over the next few weeks?Mild shakes are tremors.
I'm not sure I fully understand your question. If you are experiencing shakes you are already there, you just aren't taking enough to see extreme tremors. It's dose dependent.
From my experience with alcoholism, if I am having a bit of shakiness in the morning, another few weeks my shakes will elevate to very obvious tremors I can no longer hide while in public.
But yeah, this is a fairly niche question since not many people abuse barbs anymore due to availability.
I think that Barbies are so addictive that if you end up with a psychical addiction, the doctors won't even bother to try getting you off of them
Exercise caution!
Never been dependant on anything other than antihistamines and opioids. Thanks again guys.I don't know about that buddyWe've have entire generations heavily addicted to Barbiturates and non-Barbiturate like Methaqualone (Quaalude) and Meprobamate (Miltown). They are not much different than Alcohol in terms of the potential severity of the withdrawal syndrome. It's not an "abandon all hope ye who enter" kind of situation.
@daturetard forgive me dude, but have you been previously dependent on any sedative/hypnotic drugs and/or Alcohol? This variable is extremely important in answering this question. The "Kindling Effect" describes the phenomenon of sedative/hypnotic dependence cyclically becoming more severe each time. A person who becomes dependent, withdraws then begins using again, they will become dependent faster and the withdrawal syndrome will become increasingly more severe.
A person could drink for weeks or months, heavily before they really enter the cycle of dependence and withdrawal colloquially, when they first "get the shakes". Now, an Alcoholic with a history of dependence and withdrawal, can go from abstinent to having a withdrawal syndrome extreme enough to produce Delirium Tremens following less than a week of heavy, daily drinking.
Barbiturates are very similar.
I'll give you an example that is as relevant as I can get.
I was in a psych ward once when I was 19 for drug-related insanity. I had told the hospital that discharged me to their care that I was on 4mg Clonazepam (Klonopin) per day and they apparently put it in my chart without verifying, thus the psych ward gave it to me every day no questions asked. At this point in my life, I had zero tolerance to Alcohol or Benzodiazepines.
I was in that ward for a little over two weeks taking that moderate-large dose of Clonazepam. When I got out, I was discharged without any Benzodiazepines. The first day, I felt like I had drank way too much caffeine and it was quite uncomfortable. I felt nervous, jumpy and I couldn't get to sleep for more than 2 hours that night. The next day, I was still a little jumpy but I was able to sleep more. Day 3 I was not feeling great but I was pretty close to normal and by day 4 I felt essentially alright.
If you use this as a metric and try to extrapolate a little bit, I think it's a pretty good place to start in terms of knowing how long it will take for the Barbiturates to be a problem.
