if ur doctor gave you a choice between diazepam or alprazolam but there's a catch...

So your already scripted 60 bars a month but he can't dispense the exact equivalent of alp to diazepam...so you can choose either 60ct of 2mg alp or 150ct of 10mg diazepam.. so technically youd be getting less mg's of benzodiazepine (minus 10 bars to be exact). And fyi you're not taking it on a daily basis, if anything 4 to 6 mg MAX a week.


Basically you just stock up and only use if really needed. Although you would prefer something with a bit more of a mood boost / motivator . 4mg kpins a day is also on the table but you were on that prior to alp. Obviously this is about me but I’m curious what you guys would choose if u had options. I’m based in US, so it would have to be limited to whatever is avail in US but I don’t see why I couldn’t be converted to other BZD’s down the road as I stock up over time. Yall would be shocked if u knew what I was prescribed.

That said my doctor is hella chill, he trusts me and he’s aware I’m not abusing these yet alone take them daily. We are low key friends but yeah I guess diazepam isn’t typically prescribed long term at 180count 10mg? I always thought that regardless of the bzd you’ve been on, your doc would convert proper dosing it over to said benzo. IMO Xanax works great for me if I have a panic attack or a high stress situation. Btw does anyone know if BZD’s are linked in hair loss in any way? Or adderall or lyrica or methadone
 
Why would you need 60 bars every month if you're using 3 a week max? Doesn't make sense to me. I don't think it would matter, you'll have plenty left over and it's monthly. I get having some left over, but if you're getting it monthly.. like why?
 
I used to have a nice stock because of the same reason that I didn't need that much and took less than the prescribed dose.
Until I didn't.
Now I'm just even.
Until I will be short and that's when the problems will begin.

If I were you, I wouldn't worry about having "less" benzo.
 
Alprazolam (Xanax) 0.5mg would be suitable as a rapid acting, short lasting anxiolytic & antidepressants
Diazepam (Valium) 10mg would be best suited as a rapid acting, Long lasting anxiolytic & muscle relaxant

Both together are ideal. Valium has a super long half life with several active metabolites, the ultimate benzodiazepine medication hands down, mental anxiety and tense muscle just melts away ….Xanax has a greater abuse liability, increases dopamine and has antidepressant properties apparently due to triaz ring on molecule

Valium 20-30mg & Xanax 1mg for a 240 lbs 6’ healthy adult male would be the ultimate anxiolytic combo….with a dopaminergic stimulant to counteract any sedation, improve cognitive function and improve spirits / mood lift…either Dexedrine Spansule 10mg or IR Ritalin 20mg.

Diazepam 20mg
Alprazolam 1mg
Methylphenidate 20mg
Oxycodone 5mg
Pregabalin 150mg

Easily the ultimate mood-boosting & anti-anxiety / antidepressant drug combination one could take
 
I can’t speak to which you should choose, but I was just browsing and your last question there abt the hair loss I just HAD to respond to. Adderall definitely can contribute to hair loss. My mother lost quite a bit of hair while using adderall for years.
 
With some more experienxe with Alprazolam which was scripted. But also with Diazepam.

For a fast sleep don't count on Diazepam, while 0.5/ 1 mg Alp would quickly induce sleep with diazepam you have to actually wait a while. So the first time i took 30 or 40 mg but when that hit slowly it gave a way warmer cossier feel then alp and after that a long restfull sleep.

In detox they started me on 80 mg day 1 an way to big dose. As i felt the effects for 19 day's, only took it 4/ 5 days in smaller doses. then I felt the real difference, diazepam has an amazing halflife and imo remindes me from all benzos. Most to that droopy munchy stoned feel of Cannabis. Only lacking any creative, mood or energizing enhancing mindaltering effects.

I would want both, half of each, doubt your doc would agree.
