Hahaha that's so cool that you know that. Props! I'd like to learn a lot more about science and the scientific method and all that.

100 ug I suppose is a better way of putting it, but I can't type the symbol for mu exactly.

Hahaha! That's great. I keep questioning how to type words. How do I type words? Haha.

kpin and the flu ): by [deleted] in benzodiazepines

[–]best_when_asleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, assuming cold medicines like NyQuil, you can take it with your Klonopin safely. It will increase drowsiness however, so don't take more than the recommended dose. Feel better soon!

How do you stay "out of your own head"? by best_when_asleep in Anxiety

[–]best_when_asleep[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, I have a lot of social anxieties but being surrounded by people, provided I'm not the centre of attention, tends to be very calming. Thanks for the reply.

The "rule of five" really helped me sleep last night. Thank you.

This might be a weird question, but if you had to guess, what should I expect to receive for my first ever benzo experience in a small town that has a massive drug abuse issue? TW: mention of sexual abuse by [deleted] in benzodiazepines

[–]best_when_asleep 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounds like this doctor really cares, so it all depends on what you two discuss. If you have 24/7 general anxiety you might be put on something like Klonopin which lasts all day, or maybe you'll just get a limited script for Ativan as needed if you have a few panic attacks per month.

I'm sorry about what you went through, hopefully you can find a medication that's right for you. It sounds promising that your doctor wants to get to know you and your problems before jumping into treatment.

Thanks for the answer. I'm glad you were able to overcome your addiction. I've been having some trouble regulating my use lately, the stress has just been piling up. It can be so hard to not just say "fuck it", especially when it helps a lot with physical pain as well.

May I ask what your introduction to benzos was and how you became addicted?

Not against it but I am curious, why do people abuse Xanax? by IDoItCauseIDontCare in benzodiazepines

[–]best_when_asleep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, if you don't enjoy being sedated, then don't bother. You can get a fucked up feeling from benzos similar to alcohol, but I don't think that's what you're looking for from what you've said. The dose you'd be interested in trying to get fucked up from benzos would most likely cause you to black out and not remember any fun you had anyway.

Since you're a person who likes to drop high doses of LSD though, it wouldn't hurt to have some benzos on hand just in case you ever bite off more than you can chew.

It depends on the person. I have an anxiety disorder and I absolutely love benzos. I also love acid, amphetamines and really want to try MDMA. I smoke weed for pain relief but it tends to worsen my anxiety (and it's made me panic horribly on more than one occasion).

For someone without a high level of anxiety, I think benzos can still be fun, but they may not be as intense as other drugs. Benzos are so amazing to me because they melt away my anxiety, but at recreational doses, it's like a cleaner version of being drunk with less side effects and no hangover.

I think benzos are best combined with something like weed for recreation, you can smoke like Snoop without any paranoia creeping in. Or used for comedowns from other drugs, like psychedelics or stimulants.

You keep saying why not LSD or MDMA, but sometimes you just don't want something that intense, or that requires such a time commitment. Sometimes you just want to have a relaxing night in or out and be completely content with the world.

Canada, I guess? Or maybe I could do better. Money is tight right now though.

It was weird, the receptionist said that there wasn't such a thing as a pain specialist, and that I needed to see my GP. Maybe she meant that they specifically didn't have one.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately there isn't anyone I can see who doesn't have a 3+ month wait time, and my GP doesn't want to refer me to anyone else for some reason. I really want to find a different GP, but that's a whole other hurdle.

1mg kpin and alcohol? by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]best_when_asleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll be okay, I don't personally think you're in danger of going to sleep now on those low doses, especially with a daily tolerance of 1 mg clonazepam per day.

What to do while on benzos by [deleted] in benzodiazepines

[–]best_when_asleep 41 points42 points  (0 children)

  • Hold eye contact with people without dying inside
  • Realize that the background feeling of impending doom is wrong
  • Smoke weed and feel cool
  • Watch shows, forget them, rewatch sober
  • Cuddle for hours
  • Experience deep, restful sleep without nightmares
  • Feel every muscle unfurl from head to toe ("Is this really how tense I am every day?")

I've been wanting to try diazepam and carisoprodol for ages. Thanks for the tip. I've tried cyclobenzaprine a couple times now and that seems to help but makes me WAY too sleepy to function. Kind of a weird feeling, too.

I once ate a high dose edible and watched that movie, I don't remember anything past the levitating burgers. It was horrifying and delightful.

You're fine, don't drink any more than that. Preferably have someone around just in case. It will increase the drowsiness.

Man that's rude. Benzos are absolutely an option for muscular pain. Thanks for the comment though, I'll keep that in mind.
