Your BENZO intake and choice/self control

[Ethan8]

So do you ?

1/Follow doctors orders and read the instructions.

2/Self medicate but to a schedule

3/ Just hit them when you feel like it in varying daily amounts?


I always keep clona in ,I don't feel fuk-all from 4mg 2 X each day but it seems to help.

I swopped to lorazapam but they got to the diazapam stage of popping them like candy.

So now its xanax ,prescribed only 3mg each day.

I am not get wasted in a week on them, I have commitments but My month supply. dwindles within 3 weeks.

My prescribed 40mg ed Ritalin use and tramadol use is creeping back up again also.

I think I will be be hitting different hospital soon to grab some Adderal and loraz and diaz or more xanax.

Tramadol is controlled now so I have to make pharmacy deals.

If i had the money I'd throw in the new pregablin or at the least gabapentin.

On 2/3 Anti -d'S also.

I usually take them on a "as needed" basis. I used to take them close to every day but I don't do that anymore. Nowadays I only take them when I know ill be in a stressful environment (like giving a public presentation for example), or occasionally if I just want to take some drugs and zo's are the only option.

I used to enjoy them quite a bit but as far as drugs go they're pretty "soulless", honestly. These days I'd rather just smoke weed or take psychedelics.

I just take Xanax, but I take them as needed. Usually before bed to help me sleep. Believe it or not, night time and the overnight is the most stressful for me. I think it is at least during the day, I am pretty busy and everything unloads from the day at night.

I used to take the meds as prescribed, but as I mentioned above it is on an as needed basis and mostly at night. Without going into too much detail, I quit smoking weed about 7 years ago. I started having, let's say, challenges because of PTSD and I was put on medication. I really didn't like the way it made me feel, although the Xanax really did help me deal with things at night. About 6 months ago, I started smoking weed and it has helped me out tremendously.

I would much rather smoke a bit than take medication, but I still do before bed occasionally.

What I'm prescribed: 2 mg clonazepam, 2 mg alprazolam daily
What I actually take: I used to take 2.5 - 3 mg of each, then dropped to 2 mg of each, now on 1.75 mg clonazepam & 1.5 mg alprazolam. Alprazolam at night, clonazepam either all at night or 1 mg in the morning and 0.75 mg at night.

I, too enjoyed the effects of benzos when I got started on them. This gradually tapered off, and now I mostly take them because I don't want to go through w/d. Unlike a few other drugs (zaleplon, nicotine, boozahol), I can control my intake perfectly fine and never get cravings for more. Maybe I just lucked out there.

 

[Snake_Eyes]

What I was prescribed: 30mg temazepam daily
What I actually took/take: 15mg


Since you mentioned pregabalin.
What I am prescribed: 100mg 3x a day
What I actually take: it varies...anywhere from my prescribed dose (usually all at once) to just one a day. I'm tapering right now and currently at one and a half capsules (150mg), by the new year I'll hopefully be at 50mg.

I never had a problem controlling my usage with either. I don't like how lyrica makes me feel but temazepam I really liked mainly when combined with kratom and/or weed. Even though I enjoyed them I knew I had to break my dependence before it got worse. I'm off daily benzos but I still satisfy a craving a couple times a month.

I read the instructions I just don't usually follow them lol. I already didn't trust doctors and after reading way too many horror stories about people getting cut off or new doctor wouldn't prescribe current dose forcing withdrawal I decided to build a safety reserve.
