r/benzodiazepines

my plug has them but I'm unsure.

severe aerophobia, terrified of turbulence. what dose klonopin should i take?

been prescribed 56 2mg pills. (happy days).

(I hadd taken 3 4mg bromaz press day prior) Was typing typing while on the verge of vomiting n then I did, I now feel better but was not my preferred way to end my high. I also have mdma but have things to do later Regardless im curious about what will end a benzo high and if mdma wpuld and if so, what are side affects?

Someone is stealing my bars I don’t know who it is but when I catch them they’re going to regret it and pay for it.

I’ve been seeing a new psychiatrist, and she initially pushed back on the benzodiazepines. My old psych had me on 3-4 daily, I struggled on the. After multiple sessions she upped me to 3x daily

Great, a few sessions later she tells me I may need to”higher level of care” and then prescribed me a small amount of Ativans (4)

Walgreens told me I cannot pickup my Ativans because I picked up my klonopins already. I must wait 15 days

Issue is, the Ativans were prescribed to get me through something clinical that I’ve been struggling with. I’m supposed to get that done this week, so it becomes a fork in the road for me.

Anyone been in this situation? I plan to let my pysch know on Monday when I plan to pick up the Ativans, I don’t wanna say anything rn so it doesn’t seem like I’m drug seeking.

Hello I’ve been on benzo’s (diazepam/lorazepam, clonazepam) on and off since I was 16 and I’m now 33 (all via my mental health team) and it was never an every day thing but I did go through patches where I would need them every day for 2 weeks or so

The past few years it’s as if I’m taking candy, they don’t help or do anything at all, it’s why we swapped and change between the three.

I forced myself to go 6 months without them in hope I would get some relief from my anxiety in the long run but the tolerance is still there

Is there any hope of them ever working for me again?

Can I take 3 mg of Ativan? (3 1mg u33 pills) I’m 6’3 185-190 lbs, idgaf about potential addiction or any of that I just wanna know if I’ll od or not.

I have some 10 mg oxazepam pills, and I want them to work faster, NOT stronger because they take too long. Someone suggested making a nasal spray with them, but benzodiazepines aren’t water soluble, so that doesn’t make sense to me.

I’ve been on Benzos for many years, physically dependant on diazepam for like the last 6, also take Xanax if I’m going into a situation that I think can make anxious along with my pregabalin prescription. I’m also on methadone but still take Oxy 80s daily. I can take up to 3 Oxy’s, with a couple of bars & vals and I’ll be completely fine. If I take a single temazepam with ONE Oxy & it’s pure bliss, got me nodding and all sorts. I just don’t get how this happens if 20mg temazepam is equal to 10mg diazepam. I know they say it’s for sleep but it doesn’t feel like a Zoplicone feeling.

So I've been on benzos for decades (all prescribed). High doses. I know the dangers, I've been on ultra-high doses and my psychiatrist had me taper down once, etc., so I know what hell that is.

My psychiatrist of 15 years is EXTREMELY generous with benzodiazepines.

However, I think I fucked up. Gotta be honest, I eat them like candy. Last month I switched from 1 benzo to another by request. Psychiatrist obliged. I filled it. Still had one more refill on the old benzo. Filled old benzo at pharmacy with no issue. Time to refill new benzo yesterday. Pharmacists asks directly if I'm taking both at the same time and why would I fill the old one. I please absolute ignorance and say benzos got switched, got confused, etc., don't take both, blah, blah, blah.

Pharmacist refills new benzo on the spot. Asks if I want to deactivate/archive old benzo. I say yes. (It had no refills left anyway).

What are the odds pharmacists contacts/or has contacted my doctor and how do I explain if the doctor asks? Please more ignorance? I would be so screwed if my doctor dropped me over this.

I’ve got 6 2mg bars left, whats the smoothest way i can wean off? Here’s my timeline :

Hey guys

What does of of Lorazepam/Clonazepam would knock you out, and is there like a ceiling effect for example if I take 7.5mg compared to 15mg at once is there a difference or better twice 7.5mg (Lorazepam)

Edit : I have quite a high tolerance 30x2mg Clonazepam and 30x 2.5mg PRN per month prescribed for severe anxiety and TRD So after taking 4mg Rivotril it wouldn’t knock me out

Ps: I don’t want to do any shit I just have two horrible days coming up and I couldn’t go in the trip I planned. So I just want to shut myself down sleep like 18-20h these days

Thanks guys for any advice

Cheers

I was getting tolerance to alprazolam 1mg and Dr switch to clonazepam 2mg! It did relax my muscles but the panic attacks and social anxiety was still there. The worse about it it's the hangover the following day. Alprazolam is my pick!

First of all I of course understand that benzodiazepines work mostly on GABA and are used for hypnotic, sedative or anxiolytic effects. What I don't understand is the significance of their half-lifes, how long they actually have an effect on you and how dependance and withdrawal occures.

How long do they actually last?

About three days ago I took 10mg Diazepam combined with 1mg Clonazepam and it feels like I'm still feeling an anxiolytic effect. Weed usually gives me anxiety but yesterday and today it feels much calmer. I'm getting prescribed Vyvanse and usually I avoid taking them both together but I felt "brave?" yesterday and tried it, as well as today and I feel nearly no anxiety? How is this possible? Sometimes I took weed 8-12 hours after my Vyvanse and it still felt like it increased my anxiety, why not now?

Why do people always mention the half-life when talking about benzodiazepines?

I once took Flurazepam for sleep and the internet says it can have a half-life of 100-250 hours. What does that actually mean? Do I feel lingering effects for weeks and week till it clears after 5 half-lifes? Why are the half-lives of benzodiazepines so fucking long and are benzodiazepines with shorter half-lifes safer to use?

How does depedence exactly occur and is withdrawal sooner or later inevitable?

Let's say I take an Benzodiazepine with an half-life of exactly one week but it's duration of effect is 12 hours. If I hypothetically take it once a week, would I get withdrawals sooner or later because it never really clears out of my system because of it's on week half life?

hi guys in the sub are permited recreational drug user?

Anyone like mixing their benzos with tons of other shit to get max effect?

I love mixing a large amount of different benzos especially taking what I call the roller coaster. A nice mix of kpin, Xanax and Ativan add in alcohol not too much though like 4 high content yummy beer, not your nasty natty ice bum juice but Guinness or better, smoke mad dabs, fentanyl, gabapentins and maybe a hit of crack but rarely the Crack. I dont like uppers wrecking my depression ride. Shit has almost killed me mad times. The bus drivers are getting mad cause I overdosed on the bus like 3 times in 2 weeks. Add in anything else you like and have narcan on the ready and hopefully you have friends to make sure you live and shit.

Hey all, im in a fucked up living situation, where i can't get my benzos sent to the homeless shelter, im in a intense IOP program with too many rules, so want to save enough clonazepam to tsper off 2mg as fast as possible or taper down then go to detox. How many 1mg clonazepam do I need to self taper myself off 2mg , or at least to get to 0.5mg and I cant do the Ashton Manuel this time I need to as fast as possible, as a detox would. But I sont abuse them. But my dr doesnt wanna taper me if im at the shelter . I'm gonna quit adderall too when I do this.. I need advice. I've done this before , but want to some how do 0.25mg drops every 2 weeks.. how many clonzepam do I need? Living on thr streets will suck but I am better off . I just got out of the mental hospital and they gave me 1mg as needed I save it every day

I have never felt so calm and at peace. I feel like everything is ok in the world when I take valium.

I take 10mg of Diazepam daily around noon , is it safe to take kava gummies at night ? Like 9 hours later from Diazepam dose ?

So I'm prescribed 0.5mg daily (have been on 0.5mg daily for two years), then allowed to take another 0.5mg dose as needed daily. The last two and a half weeks I've been taking 0.75mg daily. Would it be safe to taper back down to 0.5mg by taking 0.625mg for a week, then back down to 0.5mg? I have access to gabapentin, hydroxyzine and methocarbamol for any potential withdrawal effects.
