Jeez Louise! This is an old school Bluelight post lol! But down to business. That's a hell of a lot of xanax bruv, I mean are you going for a record? As someone has stated (I think) xanax is fast acting with a short half life so don't just suddenly stop taking them as your girlfriend will have to organise your funeral. That's not dramatic, it's a statement of fact. You're looking at a grand mal seizure if you suddenly stop. So if you got access, move to a longer half benzo like diazepam and start your taper there. Remember a half mg of xanax is about 10 mg of diazepam or thereabouts so good luck with that. The Phillipines isn't known for its tolerance of substance abuse as you say, I've heard they send out gangs to beat/kill speed addicts so be careful. Concerned that you're "running out of Xanax", Kava won't help. Pregabalin may aid in the prevention of seizures (which from personal experience, you don't want). I actually logged into this site to see if someone had a taper/equivalence chart for pregabs to aid in stopping valium use, my one remaining vice. Anyway, good luck. Sounds like you're pretty sorted otherwise and a long term Bluelighter which is always nice to see. Be interested in hearing about life in the Phillipines as my wife and I are looking to escape London and given I've paid off my mortgage got about $500k in capital to fund a relocation. Off topic I know but drugs are an issue and don't define who you are. Hit me up as I've been "through the wars" as well and always good to hear from a fellow warrior lol.

Taper off v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y if you can. I was only on 3 Xanax bars a day and had full-on grand mal seizures within 24 hours of stopping. Zero warning before the seizures, either, I actually felt fine.
One of the seizures I had, I was already in the emergency room waiting room due to already having had a seizure and I had another seizure that was so violent, I broke 6 ribs, cracked my orbital socket, broke my little finger and dislocated my shoulder. It also went on for over 5 minutes and they had to put me into a barbiturate coma to stop it. They said if I wasn't already literally in a hospital I would have died.
I'm not trying to scare you, just warn you to be VERY careful and take the tapering down VERY slowly.

^If you can't get into America, anywhere at all in Europe would help detox you in a hospital safely, too (and for about 1% of the cost).

Very carefully.
Just by the thread title I was gunna say fire away you aren't gunna overdose on alprazolam without mixing it with alcohol or something. So dont do that. Just alprazolam is very unlikely to cause an OD at almost any dose....someone back me up on this?
I remember a doctor saying I would literally choke to death on my kpins before the killed me as long as there weren't other CNS depressants in my system, hyperbole; perhaps. But I got it.
I mean no offense when I say "real mexican pharms" are often grossly underdosed. Look into there valium and you will get what im saying. Now is it possible the factory ships the 'goods' out just fine and they are switched god knows where (YES!) and you may actually have real 2mgs....
The #'s dont frighten me as much as what happens if you go without!

Becareful microdosing on shrooms while in withdrawals. I did it twice and both times were AWFUL. Definitely made my withdrawals even worse. I was withdrawing from suboxone if it makes a difference.
Um, I know it has been mentioned but seriously the last post by Jrey on this thread was dated 9 months ago. Pretty much exactly 9 months ago. Has there been any other communications( different threads by Jrey) Because in it he said he was running out.
However 6 bars a day average, is 180 or so a month. .5mg of Xanax is equal to 10 MG of Valium( diazepam) so 2mg of Xanax equals 40mg of Valium and 6 a day
, is the equivalent of 240mg of Valium a day.
Is tapering off benzos heavily dependent on the amount, in this case a ridiculously large amount? Also has anybody heard from him since?
That post by ChemicallyEnhanced is scary, and this is from half the amount taken by Jrey.
People including my doctor said a year to 18 months to get off all the stuff I was on. However, I think the big issue was the benzo( My doctor actually is really is knowledgeable about these things).
Has there been any info on Jrey since July 30, 2023?
Basically I have not seen anything to suggest one way or the other.
Is he alive is the real question, and a slow taper when he wrote that he was running out?
I don't know what benzos can be obtained over there, or if he was able to get to a country that is a lot safer for people with addiction issues.
I am just wondering if anyone knows what happened to him?

i came off sevearl years of benzos. i didnt abuse them but i ran them daily for years. i came off them the end of dec but it took 2mo to feel half normal. the wds were hell. just keep buys. exercise will help. not sure how you feel about THC but it helps to sleep at night. the no sleep is rough.
L-theanine helped me along w gaba but being off xanax is so worth it. i use .5mg maybe once a week max or less. i dont use two days in a row. no addiction feeling. only use it when having a helt down. It def made me not deal w my problems which only makes anxiety worse causing you to need more and have larger probs. it seems like a wonder drug but made things much worse for me since i like to avoid problems.
