Benzos Long term (15+ years) effects of benzo usage

u thought about detox 7 or just slowly dropping ur benzos?

I was on clonazEpam prescribed 2mg n it took six months to quit u gotta wanna do bad. u keep trying eventually u get sick o being sick n go thru with it

clonazEpam or clonszo less so is really really good stopping anxiety that come with h, IBS etc, it has a good functional 24hour action is anti depressant. got the lot u know

as I said its the mdone of benzos quitting it at quarter a half a week works

I QUIT methdone I bought off my neighbour same time, clonaz is methadone of benzos

methadone 30ml then onto df118s etc r best detox from h if its still issue

benzos opiates n booze r three hardest to quit but me n all my mates have quit one or all em thru just keep trying

split ur doses 2 a day both benzos n meth pref with antacid to avoid wdbut help the quit... it's worked on everyone we did it with in rehab when I ran that when I'd got clean on sly on a holiday from work haha I was drugs nurse I was doing safe injecting on my dealer or narcaning ppl n them coming round going woah man did I go over at ur rave\party or something.... no I'm at work mullet haha

don't quit quitting....

u thought getting private psych? I saw one ten sessions for PTSD n Dr changed game overnight. I also got clonazEpam 2mg which is horrid to quit but at time I'd rather be dead than the PTSD of dead kids

clonaz is miricle drug. SSRIs etc r rubbish generally UK GLS were ordered to issue SSRIs etc over benzos five n bit years ago to reduce health bill as the generic SSRIs r like soooooo cheap pennies each but most ppl I know found no relief from anti depressants

peace love hugz, exersize, getting into countryside, s all great at sorting ur head. having a lil cute walk u can go on daily helps, I lived miles outa Liverpool h area so I didn't have to worry about seeing dealer or someone puling up in car offering me few bags x.

like I said u gotta wanna wanna quit, took me time n time again til I was sick of being sick n got a lil bit meth got friend n family members to dosevme 15ml morning n night it encouraged positivity n doing things not getting meth hit n going bed.

I'll help anyone with system we came up with to clean up us, some of us drs n nurses too. x
 
I wrote a quick benzo n drooog story but f ing hudl typos along spelling. ppl always think I'm smashed. the cut n paste don't work either so each cutn paste was messing stuff up

n I'm scouser, I type in scouse n abbreviations I prob was sh1tfaced but I wrote outa concern. I could just pull ppl up or be negative to ppl but that's never what this forum was about. I came back in 2014 n everyone's an expert lol. peace n hugz I got two degrees a diploma, etc etc so its not my spelling due to idiocracy lol
 
u could buy meth n high dose it to help reduce benzos ivwas on 2-8mg clonazEpam for 8 years almost its horid droog to quit u gotta drop as much u can then quarter or half a fortnight

h is bad as u run with same crew find ex heads usually crackheads n buy meth off them
 
Sorry mate. google translate refuses to decipher that nonsense. Perhaps your cat was walking across your keyboard. Or maybe you're just too shot to formulate a sentence. Either way, I'm not wasting my time trying to decode that like some World War 2 codebreaker. Learn English FFS. I'm an American and I still manage to speak your language correctly.

Yes! I wish there was a way to block seeing someone's posts...this nonsensical crap just keeps multiplying. Wish it would stop.
 
Yeah. Kinda funny I guess, but I'm not worried about heroin because it's not a lifelong thing like the benzo's. It's just a temporary solution to her severe pain. Plus I do heroin too, so I can't be a hypocrite.

heroin is bad if you get addicted cuz it takes all your money and if youre not careful you could od, but aside from those 2 thing it doesnt damage your brain like the benzo. i was addicted to heroin for 3 years and my brain came out of it fine, no problems with cognition or memory. benzo on the other hand, 6 years clean and i am still half retarded. so it makes perfect sense to worry about the benzo more than the heroin, for sure. your body is more valuable than your finances.
 
Wow. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I'm sorry you had to go through that. I do worry about her staying on Benzo's for the rest of her life, but I also don't want her to endure the type of anxiety and depression you experienced while quitting. She already has pretty severe anxiety. I know the benzos might be partially to blame for her anxiety, but I imagine coming off of them would be similar to your experience, and I certainly wouldn't want her to endure that. Considering how brutal coming off benzos would be for her, it seems like staying on them for the rest of her life might be the only option. I wouldn't want her to endure crippling anxiety, suicidal depression and the other effects of benzo withdrawal. I really just want whats best for her, as I love her very much. But considering the stories I've heard about quitting, maybe staying on benzos is worth the risk. Of course there could be health consequences in the long run, but quitting sounds like hell.

And also, benzos allow her to have a normal life without extreme and crippling anxiety, and there's really nothing else out there which can substitute for benzos when it comes to anxiety medication. You can consume kava kava and valerian root all day and it still doesn't really do shit compared to popping a Xanax. So without any alternative medication, there isn't really any other option for her besides benzos. But I wish there was. I really worry about the brain damage and memory loss... I want her to be healthy and happy. It seems like a real catch 22

A) She gets off benzos, goes though withdrawal hell, and then has untreated crippling anxiety for the rest of her life
B) She stays on benzos, is able to function without crippling anxiety but risks severe long term health risks


this ain't true. kava and valerian are way better for anxiety than benzo. benzo seem real good at first, strong, but after years on 'em they CREATE more anxiety than they relieve. they CREATE crippling anxiety in between doses which then doesnt even fully go away when you dose and how can it considering you are that dependent on a drug that you cant even function in between doses.

kava on the other hand, is way better at relieving anxiety. first of all, if you get good kava its just as strong as benzo and second it doesnt create anxiety in between doses like benzos. i use kava now and i have way less anxiety vs when i was using benzos.
 
Imo, long term benzo use is not safe, and has devastating neurological ramifications that take years to recover from. I was on benzos (primarily Xanax) for 10 years, and have been benzo free for five years. Getting off them was hell. I was given an anti-seizure medication and that was it - cold turkey. The worst withdrawal was within the first year. I felt like I was clinically insane. I could barely hold a conversation, my anxiety was 1000 times worse, my memory was literally non-existent. I was physically ill, my GI tract was a mess, and the I was the most depressed I had ever been in life. It seemed to just keep getting worse. I would say somewhere around the 6 - 8 month point I had to have someone with me constantly, otherwise I would have committed suicide. I seldom went out in public for the first year and a half because I had no control over my anxiety, and was prone to rage.

It seems like I started feeling more comfortable in my skin around the two year point, though anxiety and memory were still bad. Many of my GI issues were beginning to resolve themselves. Five years later, I still have some anxiety but it's now where near as bad as it used to be, and no longer suffer from daily anxiety attacks. I still get depressive episodes, but they only last a few days. I can legitimately go out and have fun (I don't drink or do any other mind altering substances as I really want to heal from the benzos lol). My motivation for life is coming back, and my memory is a lot better than what it was. It's still not great, I write most things down to be safe, but I no longer feel incompetent and have gotten out of the habit of constantly repeating myself. My attention span is improving, though I sometimes have a hard time focusing. I know if I would have continued my benzo use I would have ended up in a group home before the age of 40 as I was to the point of not being able to take care of myself.

I shared the above because your girlfriends memory is not going to get better while she is on benzos, it's going to get worse. So is her depression and her anxiety. I appreciate that you are concerned for her, but getting off benzos has to be something she wants, as it's going to be a very difficult lifestyle commitment. There is no instant gratification in this process. It took me two years before I started seeing improvements. Had I not wanted it and had I not had a very solid support system, I would not have made it this far.

Given the other drugs your girlfriend is one, if she becomes interested in stopping benzos she needs a good addiction recovery team. She is on a lot of medication, not to mention the other substances, and would need someone with expert pharmacological knowledge to find the best and safest way for her to do so. If I could go back and quit benzos all over again knowing what I know now, I would have checked myself into a year long treatment program.

I hope something I've said helps - sorry it's so long. I wish you and your girl the best!


i had the same experience coming off benzos. do you have ringing in your ears? that is one of the symptoms i still suffer from even after all these years.

also, why do you think using mind altering substance would make you not get better? Drinking is no good but i have been helped tremendously by magic mushrooms. It feels like the mushrooms somehow re-activate parts of my brain that just dried up and stopped working when i was on benzos. here is some research showing how mushroom can help fix a broken brain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7J_A-kX0fc


now I am not suggesting you try this of course, you could have a bad trip or who knows what could go wrong. i just dont like this rumor which was started by benzo island i believe, that using any kind of drug will stop you from recovering from benzo. its a lie. mushrooms have helped me so much.
 
I use benzos for had gastritis PTSD IBS ibladders n few things I tbh can drop 15 orange fpams 5clonaz, my own custom blotsx25 with 1mg etiz on each plus half g flam plus whatever powder benzos r in stock when I make my blotters, I help the after club jittery crowd n 25behind ur fone battery means u can b safe whatever u drop 1p or heavier. or if ur in a room full of ppl run outa sniff glistening (off etiz) square or whatever I dosed makes everyone happy, the sublingual helps speed too.

as for benzos I been on em since I was 14 so my gabba complex is fed up I negotiate nitraz tensx14 with to monthly to boost stash

I still recommend legals

I get mail drop of guy n he's ace his stuff I feel after a few not like eating five flam n dropping off for two hours. expensive, swhy I developed my blotters which do well. pll can walk a club with 1p n the afters in their fone brilliant stuff, use ever clear I got a mate to import but the last lot we used jack d as I wouldn't put ppl thru methanol or ethanol treated product

as for mine n my ASSOSSIATE tolerances I'd say swop benzos a lot

that helps

I use alcohol n no benzos or DPH from online if u find right place thou bottle is v cheap I'm not advertising n trying not to mods don't delete this

u know I can still sleep n dream with nout after hard days work

or uppers if I couldn't sleep n reset bodyclock! u decide u gotta b mean n just force urself

I do three days plus no w,d

I think phenaz n GBL were only things to knock me. I did go thru a painkiller addition n my head wasn't same after that. I like lil goes of the ndma analogues n three pinknflams n a single drink that does it

I found few strips nitraz real clonazEpam 2s real n few vali tens n loraz 2.5s n all them SMASHEDCME off a few n a drink

I really think we've had our cake n eaten it

I got nitrazo s coming n clonaz after a month off I know both them will knock me. v surprised a etiz guy who disappeared is back.
products away as I got stuff to do but I'm gonna rinse the nitrazolams n keep the clonazolam to have one with each drink.

I talk exxxxxxxcesssssssively n hype hype hype, can ravebon benzos n red bull euphoricly.

I know my gabba complex is fed

I got admitted due to injury in Spain told drs my script which was like silly fifty pills a day n booze on all inclusive hospital n they kept shooting me up with Diaz n I was like Diaz makesvme hyper switch to loraz I'm a medic with PTSD but still know my pharmacy....

I highly recommend legit UK benzos. I went down toxicology n ran some yellow fpams they were under dosed as were pinks, which tbh all come same ppl

I find if I just go all out attack after food settledvn drop ten twelve mixed benzos n a drink I'm gone

flams funny I can eat 20 or two n get same nod

er fpam was great but the xmas special oranges I got 750 n ate em like sweets ineffective without opiates or booze

I'd say that about all legals a few runs of dippy of ephe or bobby b n a drink n it like flicks switch....

I'm so carefull with my drinking

I never had benzo misfire regular since I got ptsd n 2mg clonaz is in hundred boxes n hammered them. defo took a long time to step em down they're the methadone of benzos clonazolam less so from someone who was compulsively doing five to ten I stepped off em in few days just kept pink flams in background avoid fits.

PTSD from work kids a n e isn't good I was self destructive n have damaged my gabba complex ie I can drink litre gin feel nout then wake up next day v sober. I have abnormal testosterone, estrogen, n a selection of things and my gamma GT never is high even after a big drink. I always eat with it drinks worst followed by verbs followed by clonazEpam

great stuff clonazEpam tho if u need chilling that n a nitraz a clonazEpam has shown to reducecrem sleep if ur on nit longbtime

just don't get silly u can step down or up the benzo ladder I'd advise dosing specific for ur needs n yeah break them 250-500 bags up as once u drop u end up dosing again.

my issue is mdone I've been clean few threecplus yearscn I know its gouch me so well with one two benzos.

poly drug abuse with opiates n benzos is v hard to step away from

if ur still reading I don't rate the powders either we ran 10mg n got errors with fpam.

I know clonaz has disappeared but it'll be back n my fifth plus Google page started getting hits the big old firms are either para or light or trying to sell off junk I can't figure it.

I'll post a trip report have high confidence first few times on a suitably different downer ie clonaz to legal 2nd gen to flam to whatever defo reduces ur intake

take care now. I'm doing etiz powder by eye n nifox n flam n getting a doze on when I take my IBS cod

but I got silly n ate everything like few hundred with bobby n ended up in a n e.... know why? I was so delirious of DPH I dosed GBL in too short a time frame n was finally asleep after trying increasing doses over week. they hype me up, e doesn't, or wizz but 1plsd I get good smashed sledge off then havec8 hours of feeling like I've drunk small can red bull.

best downers n hard to get acBAD habit is u might go five to ten mg over few years but no more. defo go crazy with RCS but keep legals for serious use

nitraz n loraz I get dropshipped r like gold. I'll do a week off maybe drinknonce a day n evenbthoni eat handfuls of everything when ibdo RCS its pretty pointless nowadays. I just use em to take edge of 3fpm mpa n 1plsd esp 1plsd I'd not go out without a big bag cos its started to make me go wonky speach wise on two benzos controll that. ABIENS a star too UK punters need private script or a pharmacist who sells. they do exist or savecur cash n hammer Portugal tenerriffe Bangkok India etc or get mates to post back sheets just get em to open the packet up photo it n send u health tablets with the daz or whatever in

benzo powders under dosed.

1plsd is a sacrament to me, same ifvi could get Mandy still ( h kills off all ur mates tho grr)

yeah booze few benzos n psychs treat with respect.

my mate who was in psych wRds for years nuts like said he'd bladder a box or just two nitraz n not notice difference once any sort tolerance kicked in

that's my advice to u like more is more but past a few of any ur wasting ur time the receptors flooded try n hit another receptor if needs be

GBL is hard to get but no impossible, all u reasercher doing SCIENCE should b able to slip holds some. really most I got from another time on benzos x 100s was waking intonshop in Spain n getting a blade bbgoing beach , got gripped by policies local who thought i was doing drugs, saw ambo was 100% sane said girl at hotel I'd not seen who watched me down drinks n ten time fpams I just said were my ordinary meds for IBS so they checked me for white n h n let me go. I tested for benzos but I showed a nitraz script n they fed off.

getting free old school 500?1000 fpam of bb wasn't such a good idea it screwed my head up. now I'll take the oranges n no more, take few each. n then eyeball etiz into my drink.

tell ya after all these years of sillyness two flam hold me I don't wanna try for a fit have a box of meds just in case n few diazemules from hozzi manager of a n e. NHS is a joke no mental health provision for 95% ppl don't go on anti depressants!!!!
I saw letter saying they got generic anti depressants so pushvthem over say nitraz that was 5-7 years ago when drscsuddernly went crappy on prescribing real drooogs. all down to cash. seeing end is nigh I ordered off old contacts nitraz ambien n clonazEpam but I'll never take more than .5 n keep hundred pinks for when I run out....

I never indend to run out tho. I'm on a benzo holiday using the ndma agonists to get a wonky on n clear my body out

heavily supplement ur vits too that helps

n gin or JD both knock me out off like three big.

I highly reccomend DPH too off pharmy local or a web one is cheaper I don't mean a rc site I mean from say the states its totally legal n having them in u can take month off ( before ur tolerance tomdph rises 25-50-100-then give up)

good luck soz I went on I am a nurse drugs councillor ex addict n prob benzo addict due to mad shifts x if ur taking the knock go with it if ubkeep urself awake u might need ten times dose n few hours n bit grub to get off to sleep

stay safe. always have someone watch u dose gb or powder rc benzos as well as to check on u layers. u know the score. even i wasntvinvincible took bout 500 at time n I was eating fifty a day.

life's wicked clean n real. buuuuut sleeps v important DPH or small doses bigger n bigger just end up in mess

peace n love n I've been up all night but its the internet. gotta fing turn it off or ull never sllep

laters xx


Did anyone actually read past the 1st sentence ?
 
... benzo on the other hand, 6 years clean and i am still half retarded...

This is what I'm worried about. She's a really smart person but I see her already having problems with memory loss and forgetfulness, blurred vision and a difficulty processing information. Like if she's sending a text message and I ask her to pass me the lighter, she can't process both things at once, she gets confused and loses her train of thought. It seems like her ability to cognitively process information has been impaired, and in really concerns me.

No, I don't have ringing in my ears but I now have super sensitive hearing. My eyes are also really sensitive to light - I literally wear sunglasses if we are in traffic at night because the lights are too bright lol. I also still get facial ticks, but they are lessening. They used to be constant when I was still taking benzos.

I have no problem with mind altering substances, I am not taking any because I want to track how much my brain is healing, and to see where my anxiety and OCD is at. I know o still have a lot more healing to go, and don't want to mess with the chemicals in my brain. I also have a really addictive personality, and don't want to risk yet another addiction lol. I struggled first with prescription opiates, then booze and benzos.

That said, you mentioned shrooms. I would absolutely be open to those in a few years. They were always a very peaceful experience. I think the medical community needs to take a closer look at them. I think they are under rated.
