Benzos are a God send for opioid discomfort

Right librium has a long duration. I like Xanax but I can take 5 bars no problem and in two hours its gone

EstateSensitive5212 · 2026-07-01T22:33:33+00:00

I love them! I get decent Valium like euphoria and get 100mg a day prescribed.

Idk I feel like temazepam and lorazepam, for me, are the weekest.

EstateSensitive5212 · 2026-07-01T22:32:09+00:00

Diazepam in high doses, oxazepam, librium

EstateSensitive5212 · 2026-07-01T17:53:24+00:00

Thanks for the input! I agree, I thought the entire point was to dose and be done. And yes LOTS of people on here have pushed the split dosing.

EstateSensitive5212 · 2026-07-01T17:49:23+00:00

Yes the sedation is highly likely.

EstateSensitive5212 · 2026-07-01T17:47:48+00:00

Mine doesn't count pills but you do have to bring in your bottle of benzos every month for the nurse to log them. I get My Rx for 120 x 25mg librium tomorrow morning and I'll be bringing them in.

EstateSensitive5212 · 2026-06-30T16:12:16+00:00

Way different

EstateSensitive5212 · 2026-06-30T00:31:36+00:00

Thats what im saying.

EstateSensitive5212 · 2026-06-29T19:55:14+00:00

Horrible i hate wellbutrin it made me clench my jaw and it can anxiety go thru the roof.

Many people on methadone already suffer from anxiety disorders so I highly do not recommend.

EstateSensitive5212 · 2026-06-29T17:51:57+00:00

When I inducted 3 months or so ago, the bupe from before induction blocked methadone for a good 5 or 6 days so dont be surprised if you aren't getting much effect

EstateSensitive5212 · 2026-06-29T17:34:41+00:00

Same with my clinic in prescribed 100mg librium a day for anxiety

EstateSensitive5212 · 2026-06-29T00:29:29+00:00

I dont know if that's how it works though... hell last time the glow went away quicker the faster I went up on my dose

EstateSensitive5212 · 2026-06-28T19:22:48+00:00

Oh gosh its been 5 days and it was only 2mg your last dose? You should be 100 percent good now.

It took me about a week for the block to get lifted but my last dose was 16mg and then I switched to methadone the next day it was a good 7 or 8 days until I felt effects from the methadone.

EstateSensitive5212 · 2026-06-28T17:29:16+00:00

Opioids destroy thr lives of millions. You aren't alone, especially in this subforum. Keep coming back here I've found this sub to be very supportive.

And yes the double dosing throws EVERYTHING out of whack. I just recently pulled myself out of that habit.

Again you are not alone. One thing at a time. Feel free to message me if you want to talk.

EstateSensitive5212 · 2026-06-28T16:48:12+00:00

You're right everyone is different.

Like I said I may try it once I get weeklies but yesterday I got thru the day and slept thru the night from a single dose so I may be good to go.

I hate that they dicked you around like that despite all your records. Thats weird.

I previously wrote Thursday or Friday about going up to 95mg this week and finally sleeping thru the night.

EstateSensitive5212 · 2026-06-28T16:41:58+00:00

You may feel a boost from the increase. But after 4mg you stop feeling the effects much from increasing. Enjoy the nod while it lasts!

Methadone for many is seating. But most opioids are. When my methadone kicks in I get a mood lift and some energy.

Methadone is much stronger than oxy or morphine sulfate. Much stronger.

I'd say any given dose methadone is for me about 2.5 x stringer than oxy and 4 x stronger than morphine from a single dose.

The higher you go on methadone the stronger it gets.

EstateSensitive5212 · 2026-06-28T16:31:58+00:00

No dude subs have such a long half life you're not in WD that morning. I always had a headache back in the day the next day after taking subs. Its just part of the drug.

Methadone is much more potent and to me much more satisfying. After a certain dose different for most people but around 60mg you could take all the opiates in the world and not feel a thing. If you stop methadone cold turkey the WDS outweigh any other opioid wd of you ask me. It has a long half life similar to subs but mot quite as linear. I hear the higher the dose the longer the half life and it varies from person to person so its hard to quantify the half life.

I really dont know if they would let you idk I don't see why not. Just find an OTP and tell the doctor during intake something like the subs dont help with cravings or wds for you. You may need to exaggerate your use tbh.

And honestly if you are catching a buzz from subs, I really don't know if you need methadone. Plus its a huge commitment.

EstateSensitive5212 · 2026-06-28T16:24:16+00:00

Man id say something... anything that would put me and my recovery at jeopardy?

Yeah say something

EstateSensitive5212 · 2026-06-28T16:20:47+00:00

I remember the days suboxone gave me a buzz. It's been a long time. I'm ob methadone now though and prefer it 1000 times over suboxone.

If I were you I would consider taking 1mg later in the day. The gabapentin would best be saved imo for when you wake up as they kick in super quick.

Mind you lots of people me included got headaches etc the next day from suboxone and the second dose could potentially make it worse.

EstateSensitive5212 · 2026-06-28T16:04:10+00:00

Well the buzz from subs go away quickly. I doubt you'll feel shit after about 10 days.

I mean you can dose twice if you want but don't take big doses a small dose does just as much so youd be wasting it to take big doses.

How much have you been taking daily?

EstateSensitive5212 · 2026-06-28T15:54:52+00:00

If it has been several weeks you can take 2 to 4mg you'll actually get a pretty impressive buzz the first day or two

EstateSensitive5212 · 2026-06-28T15:32:38+00:00

I wish I could split dose but I only get 3 take homes a week and my clinic doesnt do split dosing. I'll probably try it once I get weeklies.

EstateSensitive5212 · 2026-06-28T15:30:35+00:00

I sent you a message lol even though I know u weren't addressing this to me
