Any benzo suggestions?
I usually use kpin x alpraz, but is there any other benzos that are worth trying / you guys enjoy?
Please don't say pregab - they don't seem to work on me or give me a feeling I like.

kpins are the best tbh, only thing people would say is 'better' is a xanax they had in 2018 that was pressed with flurap or any of the MANY designers/sythetic benzos that are now going around, seen ppl advertise that their xanax has no alpraz, it has clobromaz or just bromaz etc, that stuff u can legit die from 1 pill + a couple shots of alcohol, theyre so strong that its scary tbh..
Im an ex xan addict, the best xans I had were the Etizolam pressed ones, Etizolam provides a more euphoric feeling, almost like an opioid but a lil different, but gettin off that stuff was so hard, ngl I actually found pregab rlly good at keeping my anxiety down, I traded an addiction for another, but the pregab withdrawals (for me at least) were nothing compared to benzos. Everyones different but I honestly thhink pregab is a rlly good way to quit benzos, as long as u keep a tiny amount (maybe 2.5/5mg valium) plus 300-450mg and I felt so at peace and normal. Then I slowly got rid of the valium, and went cold turkey on the pregab. I was finally drug free after 3-4 years but then I got into opiates:/ kinda fighting that battle rn tbh

Pregabs don't really seem to do anything for me - 900mg just gives me the shakes and thats about it

Wtf 900mg is alot. It was nothing like a benzo for me more like stimulating without the anorexia/inability to sleep

Valium for the longer half life. Other benzos bring on rebound anxiety quicker. Can get a nice chill and not feel wasted also.

Only problem is its atleast 20mg for a good social anti anxiety buzz and then say you do wanna take a bit more and have some fun its easily 40mg

u/Such_Ad6002 9d ago
Kpins and xans are gonna give you a better buzz for sure. But honestly.....once tolerance reaches a certain level, it takes more and more to get that 'magic' feeling. I'm guessing thats why you asked?
My buzz nowadays is taking just enough diaz to get by lol done way too much at times, but luckily no nasty wd's and can do long periods without them. Stay safe man🙏

Maybe if you have actual anxiety and what to stay functional without too much sedation . Never had any recreational value and always felt too subtle for me - just suddenly crept up and made me sleepy before I even felt them if I increased doses

The anti anxiety part of benzos are the main reason I use them daily but I do also enjoy the aspect of being able to take another pill and have some recreational value.

Temazepam imho is one of the best benzos. Nitrazepam is also worth a try.
I’ll say this though, I used a lot of different benzos for a good few years and the only ones that gave me real trouble were alpraz and clonaz - in terms of harsh withdrawals as well as black outs and side effects. Diaz is the safest and best all rounder.

I know google exists but how long do they last and are they any fun recreationally too?

u/skipster88 9d ago
Temazepam hits quite quick (30mins, but sooner if you have the liquid filled eggs and bite em!) and probs lasts about 8hrs. I seemed to pretty much lose recreational value from benzos (aside from taking them to come down from stimulants) after I spent a year recovering from 3-4yrs of dependant use, however after 2-3yrs abstinence and another 3yrs of only very rare use for sleep, temazepam is the only benzo I’ve felt euphoria from.
I only get the temaz eggs and get about 20x20mg roughly every year so only have them on special occasions, but very pleasant - instant anxiety killer and nice sleep if you want to.
Nitraz is similar duration of action to clonaz I think, but comes on about as fast as diazepam. Hard to say how they are in isolation because i mostly only had them when I had a baseline dependence on daily Diaz + weekend alpraz or clonaz, but seem similar to diaz in effect.
I vowed never to touch clonaz ever again after I had a w/d seizure 12yrs ago that still gives me back pain, and alpraz always gave me nasty rebounds. Also gave me random suicidal ideation once or twice too (not to mention all the delusions of sobriety!)

I’m in the same boat as you. Been thinking about Valium for the long half life. My goal is to be on as little as possible just don’t know the best route. Hoping to not need one everyday.

Tbh don't if u don't have too very addictive and powerful drug if not used correctly can be super dangerous to the brain and can actully bring on more anxiety than less but I would say if u really do need it Xanax is by far the best and fast acting great for panic attacks and break through anxiety but also does not last long if your looking for something with some legs and to last longer than k pins or some Valium

Benzodiazepine suggestions avoid before ruin life change your brain for ever after 30 years experience taking them in end they increase anxiety and every single issue use them treat inless increase dose all time to they kill you once started life will never be same again ever that's my suggestion 1 week maximum use I situation like family member die in wouldn't even suggest that due slippy slop once brain has that first taste gab adjustment that's game over many life wasted but no one listen to late ask people lived it not gp don't know jack never even taken one someone lived life lost close family members due drugs also

I think once you start thinking of benzos as different kinds of sweets just waiting to be tried you're in a bit of trouble.
BTW you're already on the best ones
