I just took 16mg of bromazepam, and i have one other time taken 60mg of sobril, I don't find an pleasant effects you relax a bit and feel sort of drunk and really tired, I don't really like alcohol but it gives me more, so is this just because I am inexperienced or are there things i can do to improve the high ?
I was thinking of taking 75mg of Seroquel proboably 50 mg of it snorted would that improve the high or ?=D
 
They're never going to be fun.

They will be sweet relief if you have terrible anxiety or insomnia though.
 
They're extremely helpful for people that have anxiety. I take one 0.5 mg of clonazepam (klonopin) every night and it's one of the only real reliefs I can look forward to. Like right now for example, I was having some pretty bad anxiety earlier and now I just feel at peace, calm, chilled out, and ready to sleep. Lol
A lot of people just take the more common benzos like klonopin, xanax, and valium to get high. I just remember falling asleep for long periods of time every time I took xanax though so no personal crazy stories or experiences. Lol everyone's different in how they react I guess.
 
Yeah definately, being that I suffer with GAD the relief from daily anxiety IS the rush... I personally find the anxiolytic properties of benzodiazapenes/thienodiazapenes to be pretty damn recreational though benzos' are most definately not what I reach for when looking for a euphoric, recreational high.
 
Same as any other drug of abuse: they stimulate the reward pathway. I'd bet that the fact they work through inhibitory neurotransmitters is why people experience the euphoria being outweighed
 
Benzos dull everything. If you have emotions / anxiety that needs to be dulled, it's a great drug. If you don't suffer from anything to begin with it will just dull the experience of everything else in life. That's my experience of benzos.

Screw gabaergics as a whole to be honest. The risk (of addiction) / reward (from using) ratio of these drugs suck in my opinion.

It is the human ego - you tell it not to do something and it does just out of nothing but complete stubbornness. That is why the ego is associated with ignorance so much - because it usually is in denial.

Also a lack of patience. People would rather not wait and get a crappy high than wait an hour and get a good high. Patience is a virtue most likely because those who do not have it can be ignorant just like denial from being egotistical.

Basically, it is not easy for a human to be intelligent and takes a lot of effort. The human mind would rather make the wrong choice based on a social trend than use the energy to make a decision from it's own personal experiences. Sort of like peer pressure.
 
IDK about you strange ones, but I have TONS of fun on benzos. Im about to take 2mg of clonazepam right now. They are recreational to the right people but it sounds like you are not one of them.

On another note, seraquel is not a benzo, it is an anti-psychotic. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY finds fun in the dramatic lowering of ones serotonin seraquel does. Throw that shit in the garbage, and trade your benzos for opioids :)
 
Seroquel has its place. If you're manic or can't sleep, it helps a lot. Certainly not euphoric, but a useful tool to have around. Also, it works primarily on dopamine, not serotonin.
 
i like benzos in low doses. alprozolam (xanax) is my fave and i like to take anywhere from 1-3 mg. its great for taking the edge off, getting rid of any sort of social anxiety, getting rid of nervousness before a hot dat, or coming back down smoothly from a night of doing uppers like coke of E.
 
I like benzos because anxiety relief make my life bearable.

If I've had a break, then dose something adequate, the relief from my daily head pressures is euphoria in itself.

OP, when you ask 'why do people like them' are you referring to people enjoying them recreationally? Because only a few give me euphoria (etiz for instance). The anxiety relief from others is a euphoria in itself.

I have a fairly 'easy going' mate, not the type to get wound up on shit. He mentions that he feels nothing except sedation on high doses. Now this bloke doesn't even know what anxiety is, so I'd say he doesn't suffer from anxiety. Therefor he gets no relief from them , because he doesn't need it.

i used them as a tool when i don't feel like getting through the trouble of having anxiety, but i don't consider them recreational and don't get high on them.
 
I cant wait until I have some benzos for my anxiety I will be able to get high on other stuff and actually get almost as much enjoyment as normal people do when taking them (not counting the people that totally overrate drugs)

Anxiety loves to wreck highs as well as make life shit to start with and when drugs make anxiety worse damn I wish I could just take a massive turd on the anxiety ;'(

also benzos are very good for comedowns which will also be great having some

On point. Like he said, either you have to have existing anxiety/emotions to numb or IMHE/O there are some benzodiazepines (or should I just say 'diazepines) that do bring about euphoria on their own. In example, temazepam or etizolam.
 
Benzos suck if you just take so much that it makes you feel like you are going on 2 days without sleep and want to do nothing more than lay down in bed and crash for 12+ hours. I am not too enlightened on the use of bromazepam, but have used the commonly found benzos in the US quite often. It sounds like you have little to no tolerance to benzos. I myslef use them relatively frequesntly and have a mild tolerance. Taking 16 mg of bromazepam and 60 mg oxazepam (the Sobril) is equiavalent in strength to 1.5 mg of clonazepam/alprazolam or 30 mg of diazepam (those 3 are the benzos I take most). I rarely ever dose that high, I actually took around 1.5 mg of alprazolam yesterday and it knocked me out for 3 hours. When it hit me full on I just felt crappy and tired, after waking up I felt pretty good, though. The day before I took just 1 mg of alprazolam and felt great, nice and relaxed but minimal tiredness. Sometimes they actually give me motivation to do things. Benzos have a sweet spot when it comes to dosing, there is an amount you must reach or else it will not give you any remarkable effects. But then there is a point that you can go over where you are just overly tired and lose motivation to do anything, sometimes it can give you a bit of depression taking a large dose like that. For instance, I hardly will feel anything less than .5 mg of alprazolam, but if I take over 1.5 mg I am too tired to do a damn thing. It has to be in that range or its either pointless or a waste of my time.

I am right on board with you on that feeling, but I actually have a good stockpile of them so it helps. There was a period of time I didn't have any and I wouldn't smoke weed or do anything which might increase my anxiety levels. I literally won't smoke weed w/o benzos or if I riding at least a good alcohol buzz. I don't really care for most uppers, but if I do mess with them I am going to need to be on a benzo, no way I would take coke or amphetamines without some. The one upper I do find worth taking is MDMA, it actually doesn't 100% require the benzos, but they make the experience much more pleasant. Some may say it will take away, but those people don't understand how anxiety can ruin the whole thing and you'd rather dull the high a bit and not be freaking out....and like you said, it provides a nice smooth comedown and you are sleeping with ease (Good, pure MDMA helps this, too, as it has a very clean comedown and with some benzos and a couple beers its not bad at all, but getting E cut with god knows what kind of amps in it...no thank you, better have the xanax on hand for that.)

Heh, we agree again.

Temaz (at a high enough dose). Etiz and, from what I've heard, Flubro.

IMO it's harder to get 'euphoria' even off the last mentioned ones compared to, say, a full opiate agonist.
And it's not something you can do as frequently without tolerance ruining it for you, again compared to opiates/opioids.

EDIT: end point: it's not worth doing. These 'handy little tools' are there to help dire situations. Everybody at least once in their life will need these. If you've been abusing them, they aren't going to provide the support you may need.
