Hello bluelighters

Is there any other way of lowering tolerance to benzod without abstaining
 
No man. There really isn´t. I know you´ve been on this trip for a while. I was just in one of your other threads regarding the use of Cimetidine as a potentiating agent. I´m telling you man, take the advice from the people who have done what you´re trying to do right now. There could be some ¨high tech¨ substance that is currently unknown to most of s that can be created in a lab that magically reduces tolerance to Benzodiazepines, but if it exists, it´s not easily acquirable.

It sounds like you really like Benzodiazepines. You are currently in one of the ¨phases of grief¨ that I describe regarding addiction. This is what I like to call the ¨bargaining phase¨. You have used the substance enough that you have taken a really strong liking to it. Shortly thereafter, the issue of tolerance starts poking its head in. You have already decided that you need to be on Benzodiazepines all the time, so you start bargaining with the universe for a way of having your cake and eating it too.

You can come here on Bluelight and in the process, have no doubt read at least a dozen stories of people dabbling with, becoming addicted to and then experiencing the nightmare of Benzodiazepines. There are plenty of people on here who would gladly trade an arm or a leg to be transported back to that day when they first started using Benzodiazepines. I have an acquaintance back in Vermont who hanged himself when his doctor cut him off and he couldn´t locate any Benzodiazepines. He decided he would rather be dead than endure the withdrawal.

I´m telling you that if, right this very second, you adopt a totally disciplined approach to using these Benzodiazepines, there is a CHANCE, that you could use them safely in the long-term. I´m going to tell you right now, it´s not impossible, but it´s not likely. Once you have a serious taste for a drug, it´s just not the common way for a person to then find their way back to a disciplined way of using. Most people find they either have to stop completely or just keep riding the train.

I would encourage you to seek out other means of dealing with your anxiety. You can keep the Benzodiazepines to two individual doses per week, like when you are really having a hard time and need rescue. The rest of the time, you focus on positive, permanent ways of dealing with the symptoms that Benzodiazepines help you with. If you are able to do that, you can work on yourself while continuing to have the Benzodiazepines in your back pocket.

The pursuit of continuin to use Benzodiazepines at-will without long-term consequences is just a fallacy. Listen to the stories that you hear. None of them end up with a fairy tale ending and some of them end with a person hanging by their neck in a fucking closet.

Yes I used to abuse them years back then they stopped working no matter how many I could take. I could ta 100mg and nothing.

Now i hate what I did cos I would have loads left.

I'm back on em and they ain't the same working what they used to.

BTW thanks for the lengthy detailed reply.

When I was tolerant to benzodiazepines I remember I was taking literally 10 bars at a time back when I was going to the methadone clinic and I got no effect from it allWhen I was tolerant to benzodiazepines I remember I was taking literally 10 bars at a time back when I was going to the methadone clinic and I got no effect from it all
 
They really are meant to be taken as needed, unless you're taking Klonopin or Valium which has a long half life and it builds up in your system
 
No problem of course @Pirrracetamol As I get older, I´m 35 now, it´s inevitable that my responses will ramble on for inordinate amounts of time. Considering we started this Bluelight thing with a 20 year old who rambled, shit could get... superfluous. I´m just glad someone can glean something from my diatribes.

I´m gonna go ahead and say that the free proliferation of potent Benzodiazepines via the internet has not exactly been a positive boon for our society. I´m looking at you China and India, you rascals!
