how many shroomerites use benzos?

i am genuinely curious. it seems like at least half of this website takes benzos every day, rx'd or not.
it may come to you as a surprise, but i myself am a user of benzodiazepines. i have a script for klonopin and i also take other benzos, if i have access.
so i wonder.... how many people on this site take benzos?

Nope. But I used to have a pretty nasty xanax habit for like 2 years back in the day.

all sillyness aside, i would like people to answer truthfully. i really am curious to see how many use benzos and how they are acquired. i realize this could go in odd, but i figure more people post here and the population for this "study" seems pretty to have a lot of variety. which is always good when doing any kind of research.

I use daily for periods of 1-3 weeks never a month or more. Than I'll do a fast taper, usually with a celebratory "eat one too many" on the last day and then I'm done for a month or two.
I'll be the first to admit I don't actually have clinical anxiety. But them shits pair well with pot and make for a good sleep, on top of making a boring day fun.
That's just the way it seems to go.

Hardly get anything from them except for Xanax that made me a little tired. Taken Xanax, Ativan, and klonopin. I noticed klonopine a bit better with some smoke. Now queludes kick ass!

I just went straight cold turkey, and it wasn't by choice. My main, and really only source, got locked the fuck up and I all of a sudden was without a source. At all. So 2 days went by, a week, 2 weeks...and at that point I was like, well, I may as well end it here then.
I had no idea at the time how dangerous it was to not taper with the type of habit that I had. And yeah man, it was hellish. Straight hell on earth. My anxiety was off the charts. I could barely hold a normal conversation. Had the shakes and the whole nine. Felt like I was daily on the verge of an all out panic attack. My chest felt all fucked up too, like it was about to cave in or some shit.
I drank a lot to cope. I don't know, I think it was somewhere in the neighborhood 6 fucking weeks before I actually started to feel somewhat normal again.
I just got waaaayyyy too used to being on that shit in social situations. Then when I wasn't all of a sudden, it was like I had to learn all over again how to interact w/people not high off bars again. I mean shit, two years of daily xanax use is a pretty long time.

I have around 2020 0.5mg pyrazolam pills in my fridge. I use them as sleep aid after tripping and as a last resort should a trip get out of hand. The later has never been the case fortunately. I bought them on the clearnet for very cheap and theyll last me a lifetime.

And by the way, I originally didn't get on xanax to cope with social anxiety, or to get high.
I was mixing it with coke (I know it sounds like a recipe for death but I think it's actually safer than it sounds -- in fact I think I've heard where benzos have been used at times to aid minor cocaine OD's?).
Whenever I used to skitz out too hard a xan bar would be just what the doctor ordered
Those were back in my crazy fucking partying days. Nowadays I just drink every once and a while and trip. That's it. I might smoke a bowl or two too when I'm tripping. But outside of psychs, bud, and alcohol...I don't do shit anymore.

I use benzo's daily for a few months at a time, then taper, then don't use for a couple months. Then repeat for the past few years.
I get all my meds from an IOP. Ive never really had medical insurance, or have ever been prescribed anything by a doctor.
I have psoriasis and the only steroid cream that worked was prescription, and when i went to the ER because my skin was so bad, they gave me a prescription for a tiny, highly over priced tube of steroid cream from CVS.
I had no other choice, so i started looking online and found a site to get that same cream without a script, a tube four times the size for half the price that CVS was charging people without insurance. My skin has been fine since over the past couple years without the help of insurance or a doctor.
I started digging deeper, found that you can get basically any script from an IOP, all without insurance, fair priced and delivered right to your door.
You just have to become your own doctor and understand the effects of the medications you are ordering.
Thats how it started for me.

I love benzos, but they don't love me.
Every time I'll start using them I'll end up locked up, usually takes about a month.

I've used my fair share of them but really never understood the allure. Xanax is OK. Having them for an amphetamine come down is always choice. But other than that its such a weird subtle high. Don't even know if your high or not.
I don't really see a lot of recreational value but they can definitely be handy tools.

i do not have a benzo connect. and when i find one its always the generic alzaprozalam brand which in my opinion, sucks
i need a connect for kpins or just real xanax bars, which ive never even ate
id love a benzo hookup but even if i had one, i wouldnt do benzos regularly. its just bad news. but its great for landing gear. that right there is the extent of the way i use benzos. i dont really believe benzos are recreational drugs

Shit one time on 5 mg of xanax I waltzed in and out of a Safeway and stole like 50 cans of whip cream for whip it's. Like 6 times I gave literally no fucks. I was just dumping 6-10 of them on my friends passenger floor In his car. Stupid shit.

I prefer clonazepam.
I will admit, the effects i get from them now are not what they used to be.
When i first started taking klonopin about 5 years ago, i would become very confident, social, outgoing. The effects were very noticeable and after dealing with anxiety for a couple years, especially socially, it felt like a miracle drug, finally something that makes me comfortable being me. (Deeper issues i know)
Now, they just mellow me out and make me content and help me sleep good.
But over the years, there is a lot of relief with the use of them and many nights after mixing with alcohol, a lot of
It's in no way a miracle drug and the positive effects habe diminished over the years of abuse. But they help me day to day and I always taper and stop after a few months of use.
I dont deal with as much anxiety as I used to, i'm just not good at small talk and I think it was social pressure to be a certain way is what enhanced my anxiety.

I was a heavy xanax user like niffla and did the same thing with quitting cold turkey.
My favorite was eating a xanax bar and 3 perc 10s before I headed to the sushi bar for dinner/sake. Warm sake hitting that pill cocktail was awesome. I would keep another bar and 3 more percs in my coin pocket to pop after dinner before heading to the bars.

...and Niffla is right. Cocaine and xanax are made for each other. Whether you want to balance out from too much or go to bed because the sun is coming up. So many times we would do an ounce of coke and xanax Saturday/night. Bar out to fall asleep. Then wake up for percs and xanax all day while watching HBO and scratching balls waiting for a ridiculous pizza order to show up.

I use em but not really recreationally and only rarely - last time I used some was back in September on a flight because my friend had an rx and the time before that was like 6 months prior when I had a day off and reeeally really needed to relaxation time.
No rx. I have had anxiety in the past but I never used them for that because I was afraid I wouldn't ever learn to cope on my own.

I used to get lorazepam every now and then years ago. They were free. I like clonazepam sometimes, I love the way it feels but I never do it too often. Once or twice a month, if that.

According to the poll so far, there's actually more benzo users here than I thought.
I've taken various benzos just a few times over the past decade, maybe 15 times or so over the past 10 years. They never really did much for me....Benzo's are like the epitome of dull & numb feels for me, no euphoria or "high" or good feels, just dull/numb/sleepy.
1/2 the times I've taken them it was just because it was offered randomly. Several times it was because of anxiety, a friend had some and offered, and there was only one occasion where I noticed it actually melted away my anxious feels, the rest of the times it either made me sleepy or made my anxiety worse.
I took some benzo during the comedown of an L trip once just because I had some on hand and wanted to see what it'd do to the residual effects, and it definitely dulled down the afterglow and made me fall right asleep...which I didn't like because it made it difficult to remember the later portion of the trip, made it all hazey.
One of those things I'd love to have on hand for when a situation calls for it, but they've never had any sort of "recreational" value to me.

I've taken benzos maybe 10 or 20 times in my life, so I said no. I don't enjoy them on their own, and mixing them with heroin always made me fall hard and hurt myself. With just heroin I fall but wake up just in time to catch myself most times, with benzos I wake up bloody and confused sleeping on my limbs so they lose circulation to a scary degree. That's why I try to avoid them.
They're ok for sleep I guess, but I prefer ambien I think.
I do drink a fair amount, but I think that's different.

Benzos are worthless recreationally IME
But they are also indespensible for emergencies
I try to always keep them on hand for panic attacks, feeling over stimulated on any stim, nasty insomnia when I really need sleep, the comedown of MDMA, bad trips on paychedelics etc .
Fortunately I no longer have problems with my use and have no trouble using them only when needed.

Yea the recreational effects of benzos are pretty unreliable. Some people never get them, others only infrequently and some get them every time.

so it seems like most benzo users on here don't use daily and don't have a prescription for benzos. i honestly thought there'd be more daily benzo users.... then again i hang out in odd a lot.

I used to have a buddy that would get tons of Xanax from Florida, and would bring it back to Colorado. Eventually, all my friends were on Xanax. I took it a couple times, never found it to be too recreational at all. But a lot of my friends just ate through Xanax all day for a couple months. Got a little boring honestly, because they'd all just be passed out or couch locked while I was awake and stuff. I never got too into it mostly because of that.
They all stopped after a couple months.
I have a little bit of etizolam, but I've never actually used any. I keep it for in case I'm tripping and someone I'm tripping with is not having a good trip. Emergency stuff in place of real benzos I suppose.

My doctor is in a position to prescribe good lorazepam, but he won't
He tells me it's addictive and shit, I tell him I was on etiozolam for 2 years and I had no withdrawal when I stopped but he doesn't listen, he gives me 4 1mg dozes per month max

hex_enduction said: How hard was it to quit? I'm trying to get the fuck off benzos and failing hard
I just went straight cold turkey, and it wasn't by choice. My main, and really only source, got locked the fuck up and I all of a sudden was without a source. At all. So 2 days went by, a week, 2 weeks...and at that point I was like, well, I may as well end it here then.
I had no idea at the time how dangerous it was to not taper with the type of habit that I had. And yeah man, it was hellish. Straight hell on earth. My anxiety was off the charts. I could barely hold a normal conversation. Had the shakes and the whole nine. Felt like I was daily on the verge of an all out panic attack. My chest felt all fucked up too, like it was about to cave in or some shit.
I drank a lot to cope. I don't know, I think it was somewhere in the neighborhood 6 fucking weeks before I actually started to feel somewhat normal again.
I just got waaaayyyy too used to being on that shit in social situations. Then when I wasn't all of a sudden, it was like I had to learn all over again how to interact w/people not high off bars again. I mean shit, two years of daily xanax use is a pretty long time.
Same story. Was fucked up on etiz, clonazolam, and xanax all the time. I'd go to class all barred out and not remember shit from lectures or assignments that were due. Straight up did a cold turkey routine and felt like I was gonna die for three weeks and eventually got better. Definitely looked like I had Parkisons though and I was a nervous wreck. Hated the heart palpitations too.

man malcolm you were on all short half life benzos.... that sucks. at least you powered through it.
i had a very similar story as you guys with my first time quitting klonopin and etiz, on separate occasions. i only remember the etiz wd's, but it was cold turkey off like a 10-20mg a day habit.... sometimes more. i remember feeling this impending doom for weeks and hearing voices. was a damn awful time.
etizolam is the worst wd i've ever experienced. worse then meth, heroin, coke, alcohol, anything.... ime.

Alcohol is pretty bad but etiz is up there for sure. The first 2 days I couldn't even get outta bed. Made up some story about getting a concussion and missed all my tests for the week.

I know for sure I never had worse anxiety than when I used to use benzos, and since I stopped I get no anxiety. Its a trick. You think you take Benzos to manage your anxiety, but you actually have anxiety because you use benzos a lot of the time.
Just remember, down regulating your GABA receptors will only make anxiety much worse.
People who use benzos for anxiety need to look into pregabalin, gabapenin, kava , valerian root and L theanine- all effective and superior choices.

Alcohol and benzos both have awful WD because they are both GABA agonists. But generally it takes longer to get that level of dependence on alcohol.
It only takes about seven days of daily xanax to get in bad trouble with WD, most people need to drink daily for months of years to get that level, in either case once you are GABA dependent on an agonist (As opposed to an upregulator) you are in bad trouble.
GABA addiction is the worst. Even opiate addiction you don't generally need to worry about seizures/death.
At least you can be a xanax addict without killing your liver and getting cancer.
My uncle is a straight alcoholic and its a rough rough fate. He needs to constantly drink alcohol (which gives him cancer and destroys his body, liver and brain) just to prevent a seizure or a delirium tremens that could kill him...
He cant even digest food without alcohol.

Fucking truth.
I made the wretched mistake about 6 years ago to let my doctor "treat" my anxiety with Benzos. Of course SSRI's and similar drugs were offered, nay, imposed on me at first. But I figured I could take my Alprazolam RX as needed. Especially at that time where I only would get .5mg's a day.
That's certainly a joke looking back on it. My anxiety was constant with no improvement over 6 months before taking any meds. I had abused benzos a lot as a teenager and by my early-mid 20's wanted nothing to with any drug in that class.
Unfortunately it seemed to be the only thing that worked for me in order to lead a productive life. That was a false assumption on my behalf as well.
Over the days, months, and years tolerance built. After about a year, the doctor bumped up my RX to 4mg's a day. 4mg's a day which had absolutely no effect on me other than stopping me from having a seizure.
Since early 2015 I decided I couldn't be on this shit anymore. I dropped to 3.5mg,3mg, 2.5 etc...and then found a new doctor that actually cared about something else than making money off my visits. She switched me over to Klonopin (gave me the option to), and still RX'd me 4mg's a day of that, but now I'm down to between .5mg and .75mg's a day.
Every time I taper down, every couple months or so, it induces a lot of nausea and anxiety. Certainly not anything unbearable. It's when I get to those .25mg or under daily doses that scares the shit out of me.
Please don't make the same mistake I did, guys.

Exactly
I can not work out my problems naturally
I am physically handicapped and I used to go to gym and wear out my anxiety naturally, but 9 years ago i lost my ability to work out
Add to that constant fear of being hunted and pursued by many things and then add to that betrayel by those nearest to u, add to that u don't know what's gonna hit u next, your brain is in overdrive mode. Right now the only thing that helps me deal with anxiety is carefully rationing sleep - 2- 3 hours of sleep a day - this way my mind is always tired and relaxed and ignores all the outside stimuli which trigger anxiety

Mentally over the years it wears you down. A lot! I frequently notice my mind not being as sharp as it was. There's a huge chemical imbalance going on with my brain's GABA receptors. It's not something that is extremely detrimental to my life right now, but I sure as hell think it will be if I don't eventually stop taking them altogether.
I look at it like this: When I finally taper completely off of benzos, I'll give my brain a year to re-adjust. It could be that the conditions which caused me severe anxiety issues back in the day are no longer present. I'm almost sure of that.
So, if after a year of not fueling my brain with a benzo every day, I'm still where I was 6 years ago, I'll reconsider getting back on Klonopin (for the rest of my life )

Nope. Will never be a regular benzo user. Have used a handful of times, have blacked out once. Watched loads of black outs. Do not understand the benefit bc I have never seen the benefits. But that's just my experience with it.

They're good to have on hand for people who suffer panic attacks or to help someone relax out of having a strong or bad trip.
I've been a habitual user of different kinds for general anxiety but I tapered off and chose not to get any more because it's manageable without the habit and annoying potential for running out and withdrawal issues.

benzos are definitely a double edged sword, so to speak.
i think i'm a prime example of that tbh. y'all have seen me fucked as shit on benzos, but ever since i started taking them medicinally my anxiety has been pretty much gone. there really are very few things that make me anxious when on benzos.

They're great as a short term, immediate fix for anxiety. But the dilemma is, you're almost always worse off after the fact.

Brain chemistry with toxins. No alcohol and no sugar is hard but it makes things so much better. I still drink every once and a while but it just fucks with sleep cycles plus anxiety. So annoying.

how is it dumb? i observe how benzos don't make me anxious in certain situations then work on those situations without benzos to over come the anxiety i get from them.
like going to the store and paying for shit. i used to not be able to do that, benzos helped me to realize it's no big deal. in a similar manner to how psychedelics effect me in learning.

The good news is they debunked the study that connected benzos with dementia and Alzheimer's back in February. So we have that going for us.

Moonshoe said: Alcohol and benzos both have awful WD because they are both GABA agonists. But generally it takes longer to get that level of dependence on alcohol.
It only takes about seven days of daily xanax to get in bad trouble with WD, most people need to drink daily for months of years to get that level, in either case once you are GABA dependent on an agonist (As opposed to an upregulator) you are in bad trouble.
GABA addiction is the worst. Even opiate addiction you don't generally need to worry about seizures/death.
At least you can be a xanax addict without killing your liver and getting cancer.
My uncle is a straight alcoholic and its a rough rough fate. He needs to constantly drink alcohol (which gives him cancer and destroys his body, liver and brain) just to prevent a seizure or a delirium tremens that could kill him...
He cant even digest food without alcohol.
A friend of mind from rehab was a real bad alcoholic and he also couldn't eat food without alcohol. He was younger than me too which kinda freaked me out. He would just have to have half-pints metered out to him every few hours or else he would sieze. I would drive him to get halfpints and toss him a couple bucks when he needed it. He would call me on the phone and say the same shit over and over, his theories on life and how it all fit together. Cool guy tho, talented musician. He was really into AA and would give people long lectures about how they are doing on wrong and he was drinking the whole time in the bathroom.
I like to get drunk but the thing about me is alcohol makes me sick and feel like shit. The euphoria just stops and I stop drinking. If I wake up hungover the last thing in the world I want to do is drink.
I guess I am lucky in a way. I just wish I was like that with heroin too. With that it's definitely the more I do the more I want, and shit just snowballs until I can't function without it. It sounds much better than being an alcoholic tho, or addicted to benzos for that matter.

I get clonazepam on prescription. I don't take them every single day though. Sometimes I'll take a half of one at night when my sleepers just aren't doing the trick.
When I usually take them is during the day for anxiety, but my anxiety isn't all that bad anymore and I tend to give out more to my friends than I take myself.
I've never taken them on psychedelics oddly enough. Never felt the need to do so.

I take benzos semi-regularly, but always in reasonable doses and always for legitimate anxiety/panic issues (which Im prone to). I dont have a script, I've found it frustrating to get a script from the last couple Dr.s Ive seen. Im stuck buying them off the street, and street prices for benzos are fucking stupid and sometimes hard to come by. I find myself saving them when I need them, and running out frequently and not being able to afford or find more.

My psychiatrist. The same one who writes my Rx. She warned me last year about the studies saying the bentos were were linked. This year she said the latest studies showed the benzos were not linked. Google it yourself if you want scientific papers or something, ok professor?

I use benzos.
3mg bromazepam once a day.
I'm still too anxious to quit them, but I'm motivated to.
Benzos should only be used for anxiety really, or the occasional nights sleep.
Its a good drug if used sparingly and medicinally.
Very nasty physical dependence though. Kicking a years long habit will take almost a year.

Benzos are one medication I learned to respect at a very young age! When I started recreationally abusing benzos I would take 3 or 4 bars at a time, black out and wake up with no money, in some strange bed, phone gone, truck blown up. And then hear stories about crack heads, and hitting cars while driving ect... And all this in one night! Needless to say I stopped abusing benzos. I was young and crazy like many others, the thing is I have always had social anxiety, growing up and finding out how tough life can be can really take a toll on someone with GAD/ social anxiety. After going to the ER a few times thinking i was dying from what I thought was heart attacks, I found out I was having anxiety/ panic attacks. I tried to cope but the anxiety was just taking over, and destroying my quality of life! So today I take xanex, not more then .75mg to 1mg a day, it has given me my life back! Yes it is a crutch, a Band-Aid if you will, but with regular therapy and learning about how the irrational thoughts of fear lead to feelings, which then lead to actions, helps me understand how the anxiety works. Hopefully I will one day not need the xanex, but for now it is helping me live a happier life. Benzos should be respected and used properly, (as I learned the hard way) Sorry for the book just felt like sharing.

I'm on benzos since the 1990s. I quit once, 2 years, and spent a year withdrawing,. Ugh. You dont wish it on anyone.
My goal is no more benzos but I dont mind leaning on a benzo to help me se things through.

They are crutches, sometimes you need em, and benzos happen to be a very comfortable crutch.
Haldol less so, but it doesnt addict in the same way.
Haldol is great, but I want to shed that one too.

Like I said, I don't suffer from anxiety much more than anyone else. I've found that recognizing that 99% of the people around me are just as anxious as I am and just dealing with it in different ways has worked wonders for eliminating anxiety.
We're all in this together

I definitely don't think that's true. Everyone experiences anxiety to some degree, but I think a lot of people have no idea what true, debilitating anxiety is like. A lot of people I've talked to about generalized anxiety seem to have the complete wrong idea about what it is.

yeah, everyone gets anxious but when i tell people about my anxiety and how it makes me feel they are shocked. most people don't experience anxiety so debilitating that they can't leave their own fucking room.

There are many different forms and levels of anxiety. You have to realize that anxiety is fear, usually uncontrollable irrational thinking that turns into a habitual pattern of thoughts. You can try your damnedest to stop thinking your dying during a panic attack, but in my experience there is no control! You can go lay down and breath, you try everything you can but there's no stopping your mind from telling your body your dying! Living with that 2 or 3 times a week can really screw up your life.

I'm a psychotic. No really. I live with actual psychosis 24/7. I'm born that way. I'm not a schizophrenic but, i am a chronic psychotic.
Haldol, 2-3mg 2-3 hours before bedtime, helps me to stay on the rails
Psychosis isnt always pathological. It can propel you just like mania preopelled Robin Williams. Depression killed him but mania made him live.
Im mad, but I didnt lose the plot.
In low doses haldol has side effects but I oversleep those. Its like a sleeping pill that never gets tolerance.
If I can sleep at night, I can handle the day.

That's the thing isn't it, if u lost some years on your cv due to a mental illness and u tell it on job application NO ONE will hire u, who wants to employ a break down? It only spells problems for the company 
Am I right to say mental problems is even more unemployable than a conviction

No no its not that, its simple arhithmatic.
Right now I cost the community a handful of cash a month. If they force me into a job, which I cant handle, my psychosis will flare up bigtime, I will have to spend some months in an institution and that would cost the state the same handful of cash A DAY.
So, its not cost effective to try to employ me.
I'm literally as messed up as a war veteran because I grew up in a virtual war zone. seriously, I have PTSD and everything.
I'm through. Being a Shroomery admin is my job.
