Recovery Referred myself..benzo..uk

[50shadesofDave]

Well after a complete mindfuck of two months i have filled the form for local drug services, if you have read my posts then you will u derstand i have a benzo habit, 30mg diaz, had to start CT before getting some ropey bromazolam and latterly alpraz.
The alpraz just dont last long enough and my use of that i can see increasing.

I have put on the form that my supply has now got nitizenes pressed in and i'm unwilling to take.
Anyone know what to expect, i know they are snowed under and my town is wracked with lots of substance missuse and they are very busy, they have moved into bigger premises.

Any info/ammo to arm myself with?

Thanks for listening people over the last two months, and any info now you can share is invaluble.

Take care folks.

Consider also asking in the EADD subforum, that's where our UK folks hang out and you may get a more relatable answer. I only know how the US system works.

Thank you Snafu, and for your previous input.
Take care yourself.

That is a significant diaz dose. Depending on length of dependency, it might not be so bad - but if it has been long enough/you are susceptible that could very well be dangerous. If you start shaking terribly/hallucinating/feeling like your fingers are stuck into a socket/near seizure - that is the danger zone. If you have symptoms like this you need to taper your dose more slowly, or seek hospital intervention.

Yes, i was very close at start of march, i managed to get some badly pressed alpraz and a few bromazolam but everything else has zenes in so i binned them.
The alpraz have been taking the edge off but just keeping the worse at bay.
I've put a thread in EADD too. I have looked at the service reviews this morning and dont think they will put me on a taper script, plus they have to surrender my license, not driving at the moment obvs.
I'm 50/50 on what to do.
Thank you for your time.

Thank you for your time.

Actually thank you for posting Dave. I believe my friends daughter ran into the same issues recently with these clear net diazepam but I can't be sure yet. So I am reading with interest. She lives in the UK at times and Greece. But now there are health issues and I am not sure people are relating it back to the pills she gets. I am too removed to get info but when asked I tell them to please read Bluelight for info on this. So any info you get and post will help people who are looking for info.

Saw your post in the PD forum on flubrotizolam. There is not much info on that substance although it is suppose to be strong.

You are smart for paying attention to this. I find it so odd that a drug that is so subtle can cause such chaos when a person tries to come off. But it does and the warnings are clear. Not an issue for me but I see it as an issue with some people around me. I feel helpless when I get asked but can always point to BL.

Stay well man!

No problem Jack, hope your relative is not in any danger.

I'm more than aware that i've done this myself really, i'm concerned about the UK approach though, i did'nt know how as you say such a subtle substance can cause this much agony.

between 2007-2010 i lost both parents in really tragic circumstances close together, and five of my friends to cancer (bizzare) period, culminating in myself getting my ribs broke and head stamped on at a football match resulting in broken jaw and eye socket + sight loss, i was lost to be honest and a word with my gp had me on 300mg venlafaxine and 30mg mirtazapine, after several blackouts and much time off work i decided to quit them and that was hell, when i spoke to my gp about it he said i may be better off on them for life, i told him what i thought (he was getting financial kickback) for prescribing them.

Now to not want to help arrange a safe supply of meds so i can help myself has me utterly worried and lost really.

I chatted to an old friend online about it today and he confirmed i have no chance of a maintenance script, his girl went through this a couple of years back.

They're quick to warn of the dangers of zenes in circulation but refuse help??

I just don't get it and it's put me off looking for help to be honest.

Best wishes for your relative Jack and take care yourself.

Dave.
