r/benzodiazepines

Just the question in the title.

i compared to alot of u, am very new on my benzo tol, tho im taking bromaz presses so im sure my tol wont take long to get up there.

perma tol scares me to death, i read it all the time. people having to take upwards of 20+ bars just to feel calm.. i could never afford that nor find it. how is this done? coukd this ever be reversed? is it overexagertated and the ppl making those claims weremt able to abstain from eg alcohol during their 'sobriety' period?

I’ve been on and off Klonopin or Xanax 20 years. This last year I was on Xanax because all I could get was Aurobindo. I was on 6mg of Xanax a day and took 4-6mg, the last month or so if was 6mg and sometimes more.

I saw Teva was popping back up so I asked my Dr to switch back over. Unfortunately my first fill was Aurobindo but after a week I called my Dr and explained to him what was happening so he called a new script in for “Teva medically necessary” and the last few days have been so much better than being on Xanax

I have no rebound anxiety, my anxiety is gone all day and I’m calm and it’s not so up and down like Xanax was. I didn’t realize how much anxiety I was having due to rebound anxiety. I’m so glad I switched as it feels equally as strong as Xanax just doesn’t hit all at once and lasts so much longer.

I am very glad that I made the switch and glad I found a pharmacy that said they renewed their contract with Teva because of all the requests for it and complaints about Aurobindo.

My pharmacy told me to file a medication adverse reaction with Aurobindo which I did this morning and sent it over to them. I’m so glad I switched. I have friends that get Xanax so if I feel I need a few I can away get them but Klonopin feels much better of a daily benzo

Does anyone else take bensedin and an hour later crash out? Luckily I woke up an hour later, but this happens too often 😴

I lost them about a year ago and I swore one of my asswipe friends took them. I was wrong. Sorry jd. Anybody ever have this happen to them?

So unbothered my friend and his girl are going at it right in front of me and I’m just dying laughing. They are cussing each other out fr

I’m 2 weeks clean I was on benzos for most of the last 2 years 3-4 bars a day for most of it idk the exact math but probably close to like 120mg of alp equivalent a month I know pregablin will help but i see some ppl here say its better than benzos I take about 1000mg of gabapentin not even regularly at all and it doesn’t do much

so basically im ao high on 3g prehabalinn and the doxteo next to me cheking latient and i bssically pop like 140mg balium and sheowsnt eben notoce like she nect to me on30 cm but dodnt notoce lol what a bartatd i am

i don’t usually take benzos much but took enough to be in withdrawal (10mgs valium). how long do i have to wait after discontinuing to take them again and not restart withdrawals?. i’ve gone about 17days without any.

Hello,

So I've been prescribed Xanax as I'm going through a rough patch atm due to several things happening in my life all at the same time but I won't go into too much detail as it's not really the point.

Ive been prescribed 0.5mg per day and after a month 1mg because the anxiety was still here. But I still feel anxious even after the 1mg lol i really feel like it's not doing anything, same with the 0.5mg from the first day I took it.

Should I ask my doctor to change the medication? What's everyone experience on this? would valium be a better option? Only reason I'm asking here and not my doctor yet is that I'm curious to get some feedback and first hand experience even though everyone is different of course. And I don't know I feel like he doesn't care that much (maybe I'll go see someone else but there's not many options where I live)

Edit: I stopped taking Xanax for a week and I've feel the exact same as before or when I was taking it

So im on 6mg ativan and i actually start to feel like it has barely any effects on me except when i socialise. I think 6mg is the dose for me, i take it for alcohol withdrawal and for gen.anx. disorder. Is it ok if i sometimes take 10mg instead of 6? How ling until it beco.es more problematic than a solution?

I want to taper off my daily clonazepam use. 1mg-2mg daily for almost 5 years. Discussed slow taper with dr. Just wondering if anyone used propranolol or hydroxyzine to help

i’ve taken klonopin 0.5mgs every day for a really long time now, but my doctor is currently out of the office all this week so the latest time i can see her is next wednesday. will i be fine if i’m taking gabapentin and clonidine as well? worried about withdrawal / seizures.

It is too much or can i have problem ?? My tolerance is high with benzos (kpins) I took alll at once (0.50mg)

And can i trust innovagen ?

I always kinda found valium boring and it gives me headaches is it fun to mix with like mdma, lsd, shrooms ket and nitrous? Maybe some dmt

A close friend/colleague of my (now previous) PCP) took over the practice. Upon our first time meeting and reviewing my chart, he decided to prescribe me a jackpot of 1mg Xanax and 10mg Valium, at 60 each

For context, my last script was for solely Valium at 5mg to be taken 3x a day.

At this point, 25 days later, im supposedly intended to have 10 Valium tablets left [prescribed 2x a day] and no less than at least 30 Xanax tablets left [prescribed to be taken as needed]

However, my supply currently consists of 35 Valium tabs and 10 Xanax tabs… Disclosing that to him would be the last thing I’d want to do, but i - as many of you- would want to continue on with both.

It’s looking like my best bet is to just assure treatment adherence and tell him i have no less than 40 Xanax left, and then just have a hell of a ball with the last of it, and enjoy it while it lasted… but DAMN would it be amazing to get both again.

so i started real benzos at 16 used them for over a year and a half then i started using more and more bromazolam for like 6 months and got up to 12-24mg a day for the last 4 months (currently almost 19) i just quit a month ago and then got prescribed 1mg kpins twice a day a week and a half ago and im gonna stay on that. i am still withdrawaling. i’m pretty sure i had a seizure and i lost 23 pounds from not eating and i had terrible anxiety and had a couple manic episodes. could i have neurological damage stopping such a high dose cold turkey. will it take me a super long time to feel better. idk im super worried wanted to get some opinions since i dont wanna tell my psychiatrist about the self medicating and the bromaz bringe that fucked me up

I'm high and bored and kinda lonely too, tbh. Anyone wanna chat?

So I am having no luck with regular Lorazepam. My doctor prescribed the new name brand Lorrev Xr Lorazepam. I've seen alot of good things about it. Has anyone tried this?

Mixing them for the first time so just wondering

First time trying nifoxipam and I gotta say it's pretty nice. I forget how many mgs I've taken but I like it. How's everyone else like it who's tried it?

Hey guys so I know this is a shot in the dark. I’m looking for a doctor in Michigan that can help taper me down on benzos. I currently take 4-6 alp bars per day and have been for a few years. I need to find a doctor who will work with me and switch me to a longer acting benzo like clonezepam or diazepam and can help taper me down to a clinical dose. I feel like if I got prescribed 6 mg clonezepam per day and went down half mg a month I could get down to a reasonable dose. Does anyone know of treatment or doctor who works with people tapering benzos?

Just curious I enjoy a beer with my clonazepam and cannabis but I was wondering does drinking effect the clonazepam more when the clonazepam is taken sublingually or is it more effective to take clonazepam orally as it's meant to be taken and drink alcohol? Hopefully people get what I'm asking. TIA
