VICE - Valium Is Killing Scotland's Drug Taking Poor

Sounds like a cracking place for a weekend break Brimz! Well, the pool table sounds good anyway.

Pretty worthless post this, oh well...
 
The nearest doctors to where I live is in a homeless hostel with a pharmacy almost next door. Go there nearly every week for my own needs, and almost everyone else in the pharmacy is in front of me picking up their Diazepams.

*a good friend died of a diazzy overdose so I always avoid them.
 
It's this kind of demonisation of benzos that makes it more difficult for those who would truly benefit from being prescribed them.

Very few people benefit in the long run from benzo prescriptions. They are drugs that should be used for short term management of acute anxiety, in a medical sense, and in a recreational sense only with extreme moderation.

Valium is a godsend in situations in extremis, to managed panic attacks and drug-induced freak outs.
 
The two are not mutually exclusive by any means. Have been scripted diaz and temaz for 20-odd years and only abused 'em for the first ten or so. Hardly touch 'em now unless genuinely needed. Would lop off a ball before giving up those scripts though. Is certainly not short-term management. But also not longterm recreation. There is a happy medium.
 
Benzos suck. No matter how low things get I always refuse prescription. When you've lost someone close to something, for me anyway, it's a no.
if you'd never tried it prior to that anyway.
Ha.
So cold.
 
Benzos are pretty much a weekend necessity. How the fuck else am I going to pass out on a floor when I'm tuned to the moon on ecto? Everycunt fucks off or goes to sleep & I'm left to heckle a TV. Gub a couple scoobies, sleep time, happy days.

Taking them for "fun" is fucking stupid though. I use them like medicine (ie, what they're meant for). Occasionally to chill me out a bit, but mainly just for getting a snooze.

Also, without benzos (xanax in this case) it's pretty difficult to do this to your mate...

When that batch of diazies came in that were full of phenazepam it fucked my life up bit time.

They were the WW D-10 stamp (I don't know if they faked more brands)

This stamp was well known in my area and was pretty much the only one to get your hands on, white 2mg's and the yellow 5mg's too. Proper NHS Val's.

They were always top knotch, whoever they were off, they were always the same and always brilliant.

So when I went scoring on day and my mate who always had good gear and was a decent lad (he's dead now RIP) had a big bag on him I decided I'd buy 50 of them instead of getting a white.

He didn't take valium himself so there's no way he'd have known they were dodgy. I chewed a couple on the way home (15 minute walk) and all I thought was that they tasted little different. But shrugged it off as I'd just had a mint.

When I got home I chewed 4 more then 20 mons later I thought these must be shit knock offs with only 1-2mg diaz in like the zepose knocking about so I had another 4, the last thing I remember thinking is these actually do taste a bit funny. Then that was it 3/4 week blackout. And obviously I had bought 50! So I must have still been eating them blacked out.

I did some bad , stupid stuff that affected the rest of my life probably...

I'd never heard of phenazepam I just thought just rhey were underdosed blues. The ONLY thing to differentiate them from the real ones is they felt chalkier and dustier and obv the taste.

When I came round I was in £1000's of pounds worth of debt with local drug dealers and was living in my shed. I was using a LOT of heroin on whilst I was blacked out too (I only know this because my GF came round and said their were loads of works and empty baggies everywhere, which aint me, I'm OCD about being clean especially IV'ing

I ended up losing the bag with Bout half the tablets still in it, I was wounded at the time (I thought I was acting normal) but it was obviously a blessing!!

Using so much IV heroin, with methadone and so much of such a powerful tranquillizer I really am lucky to be here. My family were certain I'd die any day they even rang my drug worker to come to my home which obviously I have no recollection of, .I would not believe it when they told me. she told me later on i was about 36 hours from death.

So losing that bag of tablets saved my life . I wouldn't touch phenaz again if you paid me.
