Benzos The Benzodiazepine MEGA THREAD - Direct Benzo Questions Here

[THE_REAL_OBLIVION]

I have to suffer until friday without anything, the pharmacy I go to for some reason (not with my valium script, which I get way more at one time) has all the pharmacist staff (except one guy, but I haven't seen him around since a long time) insist that I refill my xanax on the day I go get my weekly suboxone (yeah, its like methadone here). Like when my psy doc renewed the script by fax friday 2 weeks ago, she sent me only 3 doses, so that i would refill the remaining on the suboxone tuesday, where I got only 7 pills, I'm supposed to get 15 per bottle. So this is all pretty fucked up, it seemed to make sense because the few days I waited for my script, it moved the schedule completely. The pharmacist told me : we see each other every week, so I don't know if in his mind I'm getting my next 14 xanax (they always keep 1 because we had this renew every 14 days thing, where it would be every tuesdays). But I got the script on a friday, not the last one, the one before that. This is all a big mess. For those who want to know, when my script is over all those pills they keep away from me (14 count instead of 15) are given to me while I wait for the doc to renew the whole thing.

I better not wait till next tuesday for this, it'll have been 15 days on friday...nosey pharmacists who think they're doing me a favor since I can "pick all at once"...they got delivery guys. fuck.

Been a benzo taker for quite sometime. Just got put on lorazepam .5 bid. Any ideas on a good dosage where I will actually feel it?

 

[d3rf]

this is an interesting subject for me , luckily i havnt had physical addiction to benzos but a good friend of mine is currently hooked bigtime on them, for the last year or 2 he has been getting 40mg temazepam a day, 20mg diazepam, dont know exactly how much lyrica he is on but hes on that too, on top of that he buys benzos anywhere he can. he has tried to quit before and says he has seizures when he trys to go off them. personally i think the doctor that gave him this addiction in the first place is to blame. any suggestions for a user like this to try start coming off them? i would love to see him do it.. and be alive.

U will quickly build tolerance to it chasing a high. Its about like half potentcy of alprazolam tho. I used it to help sleep for a couple months... was surprised how fast tolerance built. As for comparison I seem to remember it feeling more xanax like rather than clonazepam or diazepam.

Try just taking it very rarely if u want euphoria continually... other than that its hard to directly answer u w/o knowing your tolerance etc...

Look up things like the Ashton manual. People are typically put on diazepam to slowly taper. Need the right dr, to get the diazepam. Person quitting needs to want to quit too.

sublingual lorazepam - 1)if it gets on my teeth should i panic? 2)could the mouth-numbing effects of a lozenge be a sublingual gland retardant? (used a few minutes before taking a lorazepam)
did you know lorazepam is aka lorax (like the dr suess thing)

 

[pinpoint]

Why would you have to panic if lorazepam gets on your teeth? Am I missing something?

THAT MEANS its not under my tongue accidental capslock

 

[Slum Survivor]

As long as u had enough liquid inthere and it got dissolved... I believe it would still mostly get absorbed. It will absorb throughout the mouth if I'm not mistaken. But obviously teeth aren't the best place for it . I go thru the same delima sometimes with my suboxone which is also taken sublingually. Sometimes something goes wrong and it the peice doesn't get placed correctly. Usually it still mostly absorbs if I give it long enough and the med gets to dissolve etc.
Did u ask cuz of chewing up pills to subL them? Just curious

Hi guys, I took my first benzo two days ago (0.25mg clonazepam). I it worked pretty well; gave me a calm feeling and I noticed it reduced my derealization a bit as well as give me a bit of disinhibition. The effect wasn't pronounced but definitely noticable.

I'm going to a party this saturday (I also have some agoraphobia) and I was planning on taking 0.5mg. Will this be too much? I'm worried I might nod off or slur my speech.

 

[mydrugbuddy]

if 0.25 worked fine then there is no reason to increase your dose. The main risks of benzos are addiction and ever increasing tolerance, so you want to be keeping your dose as low as possible so as not to push your tolerance up, and taking them as infrequently as possible too.

Huh, says you're from canada. Lorazepam is Ativan here. Maybe you mean somewhere else in the world it is named Lorax ? There was this chick who was eating 10mg of Ativan a day I knew named Laura, guess what nickname we gave her.

 

[downerhead]

Damn,some of you make me jelous with the small ammounts of benzos you can take and still get a theraputic effect or even a buzz.I read a lot of posts about taking a quarter milligram of Xanax or a half milligram of Ativan and it boggles my mind.Even a 2-4 mg dose of Xanax just barely does it for a theraputic dose for me.To actually feel good/euphoric from them it's more like 10 mg intranasally or 20 mg oral/sublingually.Even the first time I took benzos over 20 years ago I had to take about 3 mg of Xanax or 25 mg of Valium to get anything from them.Makes me fucking sick!Just kidding but y'all are very fortunate.If I wanna party with benzos I have to abstain for a week and then take ridiculous ammounts.Then my script is running low till refill time.Lucky bastards lol.

I've pretty much tried every benzo available to me in the US. I'm currently on diazapam(get this dosage: take 1.5 tablets every 8 hours.) My dr is really weird. The pharmasist didnt even understand it. I was just changed from klonopin. Back to what I was going to say, I've never heard of taking any benzo sublingually(except my friend who thought kpins were because of the minty taste.) And who cares if they get on ur teeth? It's not crystal meth, I'm pretty sure your teeth won't fall out. I ALWAYS chew my kpins because they're like a breath mint lol. If they do ruin ur teeth I'm in for an unfourtunete surprise.

Speaking of meth, I been doing that shit for 10 months and I absolutely need to stop. I haven't had too much luck going cold turkey, and 5 days Is max I can go before I go back on it.

Bc of a few ER visits this year, I was given Lorazepam to bring me down when way too high from M. Baisically now, I can't get any sleep unless I have a benzo. Xanax or Ativan helps me a lot, but I honestly use one or the other at the end of a 3 day bender. This is usually best and gets me sleep and prevents me from staying up any longer than that.

From my findings online and people I talked to, there isn't much rehab, 12 step. NA meetings do.

I'm seeing a psych and trying to scripts for anything For me since I am adult ADD. I'm afraid if I get caught doing street M or people force me to rehab, I will never be prescribed any prescription amphetamines, and I really want those just to go back to school for 10 days, and just focus and understand

So I want off this shitty street meth first, so the next time I go to my psych I look and act more legitimate.

I'm thinking of getting off street meth by using a bottle of Ativans that I luckily, somehow right now have access too. I know people get addicted from benzos, but at the same time, it's what they give you at the ER from doing too much M, and can get me to sleep and comedown. I figure If I can trade the meth habit, maybe take 1 1mg tablet twice a day, I can possibly sleep it off. I'm thinking once a week or two of Ativan use, I can taper off and just go back to smoking weed. I think this is my best route, I can keep staying up all night every day, feeling alright at first then crashing and feeling horrible for days later. I think going from meth to Ativans to weed might work. I really don't have any other good ideas on how to kick my tweak habit

Ativan is often given in sublingual pills for people who go to the ER for panic attacks. There's also clonazepam wafers, but never seen them other than online.

I've been medicating with benzos for a terrible long MDMA comedown and just wondering if I would be experiencing withdrawals. About 3 months ago I used 1mg Xanax a day for 2 weeks. I switched to 10mg Valium as needed and was taking it roughly every 3 days for a week or so before quitting cold turkey with no adverse affects. I used beta blockers instead to control my symptoms. About 2 months later I started using Valium again as beta blockers made me feel like shit, I kept it to about 2.5mg a day which was effective enough, this lasted about 2 weeks. At the end of the 2 weeks I had to go into hospital for an endoscopy and was given a fair dose of midazolam (7.5mg). The next 2 days I felt kind of zoned out. That was the last benzo in my system, about a week and a half later I'm experiencing frequent muscle twitches and pressure in my head. Could this be mild benzo withdrawal?

Nah, you have been using benzos very responsibly here. The head pressure tells me it is symptoms (still) of that mdma comedown (and whatever else was in the pill).

Firstly you want the yellow lorazepam (Ativan) 2.5mg and based on current dose which is half a white 1mg dose I wouldn't aim too high. 2.5mg bd (one morning one at night) seems reasonable. Not knowing your tolerance and if you getting by on less than 1mg see what your doc thinks about upgrading to the yellow 2.5mg

 

[jeng1128]

Yah, I just got rxed lorazapam but never went to the hospital for it. If I'm having a panic attack(like last month was really stressful I was having them pretty much everyday but they rxed me xanax for that.) And I forgot about kpin wafers. I've actually NEVER even tried them.They're orange right??Are they 4mgs-i thought i mightve heard that.? And u basically do it like how you take subs I would think.

Ativan is often given in sublingual pills for people who go to the ER for panic attacks. There's also clonazepam wafers, but never seen them other than online.
