Okay, so for the past three days, I binged on my sixty 1-milligram prescription of lorazepam. I feel fine overall, but I've been forgetful and scatterbrained, and typing on a keyboard or cell phone is frustration. Given that it's been a day and lorazepam has a half-life of 10-20 hours, do I just need to wait for the tranquilizer to clean out of my system? Or is it possible that I've caused some brain damage?
 
Benzo benders are no Bueno. He's right about getting behind the wheel of a car. I've done crazier things that what you said you did, no brain damage in sight. Just take it easy, and try not to do that again. It's a waste of pills and it will affect your short term memory.
 
Just learn from your mistake and don't repeat it. Nothing good will ever coming from abusing benzos. Just memory loss and regret.
 
Ya, been on one myself lately,waste of pills for when you really need them, taking doses of up to 12mg of klonopin/xanax the past 4/5 day, though my memory is fine supringly. I just get borred, I don't have a precripiton and end up with a buncha klons and xanax, and tolerance goes up fast, then ya run out, then its rebound anxiety central. Though I must say this time this bender was caused by not having any for so long, it was dry for a second, and being on Subs to I gotta be careful with my UA's...thing is before I got on Subs I would take benzo's, but not like I do now..I"ve come to the theory that full-agonist took care of my anxeity and the partical agonist does not, it does not add anything to a Suboxone buzz, if you even wanna say it has a buzz while on it for maintance...this has what has made me considered going on methaadone the past 6 months +, only thing stopping me is I'm in the middle of nowhere, it's a ridiulous drive(really). But when I go on 'vacations' I feel no need for benzo's really if there okay if not okay, want turn one or two down for the fuck of it, but anyway I'm rambling. All benzo binges do is leave you with no pills when you acutally need them, and if you are one to black out during them(i'm not, guese my brain has gotten use to it after 13 years of taking them on and off). But anyway, if you have someone you can REALLY TRUST have them hold onto for you so you don't blow through them.
