Benzos switching from benzos to booze

Why let your doctor tell you when you can and can't take them, or when they will or won't give them to you. That can make withdrawal worse, it sounds contradictory, I know. But it should YOU who is in control of your own situations. Besides, you can buy all types of benzos online from the UK with next day delivery anyway! Why wait for a doctors assessment?!
 
Idk man, I can somewhat control my usage of any other drug, benzos are much different though. It's not like u really get "high", or at least u don't know it, I've taken 75mg in 2 days and then I remember one time, I blamed my ex for stealing them, it's a crazy ass drug. Still years later idk wtf really happened, she could've taken them, but it's more likely I ate them and forgot all about it. With opiates I still know wtf is going on and I remember when I dosed, same with booze weed etc. not benzos though, it's a crazy beast.
 
Alcohol, may work temporarily ... help you feel better, but overall would probably just prolong the transition. Once the alcohol wears off you may be back to where you started and feel worse. Good you aren't going to mix the 2, safe practice... although bp may drop if you have a long acting benzo in your system... which could be dangerous even with your metabolism, and may also lower inhibition. I tapered once and was scripted the longest acting benzo possible (Clorazepate), and a seizure med. Of course professional advice is best. Just my 2 cents...

Doctors use diazepam to taper chronic alcoholics... going from benzos to booze is a step backwards.

Seriously, it's like if one of your tires blow out, should you then go slash the other 3 wheels on your car?

Alcohol fucks with the seizure threshold and GABAergic calcium channels WAY too unpredictably and violently, temporarily raising the threshold making it SEEM like it's covering your GABAergic dependency needs, but then it crashes so rapidly and lowers your seizure threshold to critically low levels and risks of seizures are high, not to mention alcoholism is like... in no way a "solution" to your benzodiazepine dependency.
