Just went through same thing, was on 6-8mg Klonopin per day for year and half then forced to stop cold turkey. W/d's kicked in after about a day and got worse with shakes, twitches, headaches, light sensitivity etc.... Besides other benzos alcohol is only thing makes u feel better. Don't get drunk, just have 1-3 beers every 4-6 hours (or adjust acccordingly) it gets better after a week but I couldn't di it w/out booze

don't drink alcohol actually. Benzo WD is very serious and can result in seizures, paranoia, and even death. This is not opiate wd where you just feel like hell, this is an actual dangerous thing, and it should ideally be addressed by a medical professional. Otherwise, you need to get on a slow taper as soon as possible - you can't just stop.

To expand on this, a trip to the hospital may be a good idea. They can start you back up on a benzo and then taper you down and you will be in a controlled environment where if someting does go wrong, you are already in the right place to be. You dont want to end up hurting yourself or others because your in a bad mental and physical place.

And dont feel like a fool, your not the first person to wear these shoes and you wont be the last.

^ Perfect post.

 

[wooger]

thank you for the quick responses!

I have just had some really good fortune and will be able to acquire some more of these in like an hour or two max...

but heres the thing.... I usually consume that amount within around 90mins of an evening... it doesn't really give me a 'high' feeling... just makes me feel 'normal' should I try and split the dosage up more throughout the day when tapering off? or is this something I really need to speak to a doctor about?

I am in waaaay over my head here

 

[debaser]

^ Speak to a doctor ASAP.

 

[wooger]

okay... I have an appointment with a doctor on tuesday.... would you advise me to wait? or to go to like an emergency clinic at the hospital like TODAY? The thing is even tho I have more now I know I am gunna be feeling like this AGAIN tomorrow around the same time....

also it kinda worries me that I am getting a slight achey feeling in my chest :/

 

[debaser]

It's up to you, man. But I would be you, I would already be in the ER and not on an internet forum.

We cant really give you medical advice as most of us are not doctors. To me though, it sounds like you are in a good spot (even tho it sucks). You know you want to stop but can't. Your not doing it for recreational purposes anymore, just to stave of w/ds which is not good. Thats a pretty strong indicator you're on a bad road. Seriously, seek medical attention.

Stay safe.

 

[wooger]

okay.... thank you for your input... I think I am gunna have a shower and head over to the hospital.. I look like a fucking mess... I havent slept for over 24 hours so yeah.. I am gunna try and make myself look somewhat presentable...

If he would give me some diazepam instead that would be a fucking godsend... wish me luck .

 

[wooger]

Oh one quick question before I leave... should I take a sample of the etizolam to him? they are in a blister pack and box etc etilaam brand manufactured by Indas or something....

I was thinking maybe if I showed him what id been taking it might be a good idea... neigh or yay? please advise on this last issue as im about to leave!

 

[aveoturbo]

If you dont have a script for them, I'd just leave them at home. Just tell the doctors what you have been taking and your symptoms and how you want to end the cycle.

Ultimately, it wouldn't hurt to bring them with, but, do you want to be in possession of illegal drugs if you dont have a script for them?

 

[Klonopin King]

^Alot of the time when you go to the ER in benzo w/d diazepam is the standard for treatment (most cases not all) Make sure you tell them what kind of doses you have been taking. Nothing wrong with being honest in this scenario. When i was in W/d from a 8 month 3 mg a day Clonazepam habit i went into the ER because i was having some of the same symptoms you mention, and they gave me a valium drip plus sent me home with a taper script.

I say your better off leaving them at home.

 

[wooger]

okay thanks best leave them here then - cant thank you enough for your help, really i appreciate it alot - I'll update later with how it went

report back later hopefully take care!

 

[aveoturbo]

Good luck dude!

This Etizolam has serious addiction potential. I have to really watch myself with usage. As mentioned above, the best course of action is go to a medical professional, and they should give you a long half life Benzo (usually Valium or Librium) to taper down.

Wooger, do you live in the UK? There are lots of vendors here selling Etizolam DIRT cheap. It is not scheduled here, but probably will soon with the number of people having problems with it.

Ive got about 200 pills right now, and will try and ration them well into next year. Have ordered some Kava and Buspar to use as an alternative.

I have a Poppy Pod habit, also have been on SSRI antidepressants solidly for almost 11 years, and the last thing I want is a Benzo habit on top.

 

[wooger]

Well that was FUCKING POINTLESS.

I went in and they asked me what it was about I sad 'its about medication I've been taking'. The receptionist replied 'You arent looking for medication here are you? because there is a note from your surgery we are not to give you anything'.

So I have been labelled an addict, lucky me.

So I meet this doctor and hes all like 'never heard of etizolam before..' so I explain about it and he comes up with this bullshit about how they cant give me anything there because it has to be done by my regular doctor or whatever'.

I asked him about should I spread the dosage throughout the day instead of all in one evening? he was like 'yeah' I said... 'great... so how much should I cut it by' he's like 'I have no idea, I dont know anything about it... try cutting to three miligrams'

I was like 'what if I have a seizure or something??' His response was 'go to the ER'

how fucking helpful, he also was going on about people overdosing on benzos alone and dying, so he clearly has no fucking clue what he was talking about.'

 

[aveoturbo]

Wow, sorry that avenue did not pan out for you. Seems like a dickhead move on their part. This shits not a joke.

 

[wooger]

thanks it means alot to know SOMEONE at least is taking notice of me, even if you are a bazillion miles away I knew as soon as I walked in and they were like 'you arent here for medication are you... cus theres a note from your surgery saying not to give you anything'.

I knew right then that I was wasting my time, but I stayed cus if I had have walked out it would have cemented in their minds even more that I was just drug seeking for fun or whatever...

damnit! I guess I'm just screwed... I was actually watching a video on youtube last night about some guy going on about how he got no help from doctors etc when he was trying to come off them etc... pretty true .
