Basicly ive only been on this taper a month at 20mg a day, was ment to drop but couldnt really handle it, i was used to binging on benzos before for another month or so at higher doses, xanax up to 4-6mg at a time, diazepam i could go 100mg a day but i dont think i was doing them daily i just have a high tolerane from previous use and other gaba drug use in the past.

Well i ran out of this script early about 3 days ago (took only 5mg that day aswell) and i feel pretty damn bad, but is it going to get worse? Atm i just feel extremely restless, agitated, headache like hell and anxiety, which is bad enough but if it wont get ttoo bad and will be over in a week or 2 i might just cold turkey it, i know benzo WD should never be cold turkey'd but i dont think i can be bothered to drop 2mg every week or 2 as it just means being on them longer, and i havent been a heavy long term user or anything.

Im pretty sure i wont seizure or anything coming from 20mg a day for a month at max, and a previous month of high dosing random benzos but not daily. Ment to be getting refil tommorow probably at 18mg or can stick at 20mg if i ask the doc for a bit longer, so need to decide whether to fuck it and continue the CT

Also when i tried cold turkeying before gbl completely got rid of all symptoms, is it actually cross tolerant as its gaba B and not gaba A? Could it be used on a cold turkey very rarely for occasinal releif or would it just make it last longer?

thanks to any advice
 
I have a lot of experience in this field that I wish I didn't...IME from roughly 120-150mg/day Diazepam use WD's went like this

first 48 hours- no effects
day 3-5 WD's increase
day 6-8 WD's peak
day 9-14 WD's decrease
day 14-30 WD's are not pronounced, but are still present

Anyone got any experience with Xanax?
So far day 1 & no effects...and I have been on Xanax for years
 
i really wouldnt cold turkey xanax at all, buts that weird usually xanax wd's start very quick.

But im on 20mg a day, not over 100mg a day, surely it wont be that bad, i did dose today because i was just fed up of feeling shit. I dont know whether to continue the taper, have been suggested to get on lyrica for a week or 2 and cold turkey the valium, gah i just want to be off it, or just fucking be on it for life, didnt think it would feel this bad after not that long usage.
 
Benzo WD's suck...the duration should be about the same for 20mg or 100mg, the severity of the WD's should just be less....

Xanax on the other hand has a much shorter half-life, meaning the WD's are often more acute. Xanax WD's are more likely to cause seizures and are a bit more painful usually, but on the other hand they tend to be over and done with in about half the time as Valium WD's

If you really want to get off benzo's I'd suggest going to a doctor and using either Librium, Valium, or Klonopin to taper for about 2-4 weeks and you should be able to make it through rather comfortably if you follow the schedule like your supposed to.
 
Withdrawals are starting to come up again, most likely alot harder than before, last dose was sat night, ive been using gbl to help with symptoms and it covers alot of physical and mental ones (although stil dont feel right) But is actually enjoyable and im able to get through them on this, but are GABA A and GABA B drugs cross tolerant, GBL addiction doesnt scare me, as its about 2-3 days max, which i can handle and have been through it before. GBL allows me to guartee a sleep if i do enough and eat loads too which is a good thing, but if its cross tolerant im just gonna be switching addictions arnt i ?
