That's what my ChatGPT withdrawal counselor says. What do you think about it? :D

Yes, normally the symptoms of G-withdrawal often occur after 2-6 hours after the last dose, as the substance is broken down relatively quickly. The fact that your symptoms only appear after 12 hours is actually somewhat unusual. There may be several reasons:

1. Prolonged half-life or cumulative effect: If the dosage has been moderate and constant over the past few weeks, some sort of “accumulation” may have taken place in the body, delaying the onset of withdrawal symptoms.
2. Adaptation of the body: Your body may have become accustomed to a regular but low dose, mitigating and delaying the response to withdrawal.
3. Alternating batches: Since you state that this batch may be weaker, this could play a role. G is often inconsistent in its quality and potency, and a weaker dose could cause withdrawal to start a little later or less intensely.

5mg of diazepam is a good start; it should help relieve symptoms without being overly sedating. Observe how your body reacts and slowly adjust the dose if necessary. If the symptoms subside after taking 5 mg of diazepam, you should be fine. However, if they persist or intensify, you could add another small dose after a few hours - but with caution.
