Okay I took a whole script of 30mg Lorazepam over the course of 5 days of Opioid/Opiate Withdrawal and combined under the Stress of having to move out needless to say lack of Judgement and dumb mistakes was made and continue as a Result lol. I had 80mg Temazepam 5 days after my last Lorazepam Dosage only symptom was Intense Rebound Insomnia and a bit of Numbness in the extremities I know to watch out for if it gets real bad. I got 40mg Temazepam left and may or may not be able to Score some more Benzodiazepines of Various Kinds Depending on the lengths I am willing to go for them and Cash I got for it.

My question is should I Taper the fuck off..... Or Cold Turkey with a Fat Sac of Weed and not worry about it at all or??? I got GABAPentin and maybe Clonidine somehow possibly Buying it Online idk. I did not have any GABAPentin while I was using mass Amounts of Lorazepam otherwise I would of kept it under better control.
 
Try at least a short, aggressive taper. In my experience, lorazepam presents the most intense, most varied withdrawal symptoms (all intrinsic benzo effects reversed: anxiety, convulsions, muscle cramps, insomnia...) of all 17 benzodiazepines I have tried, and it also seems to occur very rapidly.

Owing to a lack of active metabolites and a short half-life, within about two days you should notice if you're going to go into withdrawal or not. If you do, then don't try cold turkey. You have a much higher chance of success if you taper (with discipline).
 
I don't understand.
You used the benzos to get off opiates right?

Then I read the following..................

Whoah, hold the phone!

You can't think like that, not with benzos.

Basically you are going to get addicted to something you used to get off a different addiction, and trust me, I don't know many people who have kicked a benzo addiction.

If your primary objective of quitting opiates was accomplished then great.
You need something to fill that gap and benzos will just create a "black hole".

If you are talking about 5 days of benzo use, then try just stop.
If you start feeling strange, seek medical help and not online help.
