Benzos May have taken too many.

[ImmortalLowlife]

Alright, so in the last 48 hours, I have taken 16mg of klonopin and around 50mg of xanax. Now when I take more I can't feel shit.
Is it because of how much I did? And if it is how long should I wait until I polish my benzos off without wasting them. I've haven't slept this whole time either, I didn't know if that had anything to do with it or not.
Should I just try to stay off of them for a couple of days?

If you don't feel anything from 60 mg + of strong benzos you must have a monster tolerance.
definetely DON'T get off them abruptly, make a slow taper to decrease your tolerance and stop taking shitloads of benzos to chase some sort of "high"

If you're taking that much and are able to be completely lucid and sit here and post on a forum you need to go to a rehab and get a detox done. Benzo withdrawals are nothing to fuck with.

My best guess is that the dosages you posted are incorrect. My second best guess is, as previous posters have mentioned, you have a monster tolerance and have probably been taking high doses for a long time. If that's the case, it's detox time. Having withdrawn from every drug class imaginable, I can say with 100% certainty that benzos are THE WORST thing to get off of. And my benzo use was far lower than what you are describing -- I was out of commission for two weeks after a mere 2 months of 1-2mg of xanax per day. OF course, I did it cold turkey -- had no idea that I was even addicted, and had no insurance or other means of taking care of it through a real doctor. Within 48 hours the WD symptoms set in, and I quickly figured out what was going on. If those doses you mentioned are indeed correct, you have probably been taking benzos for a very long time and will not be able to get away from them without help. Cold turkey, I have learned since my own xanax WD, can kill you. Seriously -- get to a doctor.
