Valium (diazepam) withdrawals

[shaunclo]

Is it true that valium w/d's can take up to a week to start? Is this a fact or is it fiction?

valium has a life of 72 hours therefore dangerous levels can buildup in the body if youre not carefull ,so it can take a few days to begin ,but thats if youre unconcious at the time. Any withdrawal starts in the mind ,followed by the body and I started withdrawing the very day after I stopped ,I then had two" benzo fits " ,puked up a lot of nasty stuff and was then put on a reduction program which in my mind ,works the best. Good luck to you , I was however taking excessive amounts of the pill to help with the H as that had stopped working.

thats helps, it actually put me in the clear. I was using probably 20 mg's every other 2-3 days for about 3 months. I havnt taken (because I was scared that it was going to turn into an addiction) in over 1 week, and I feel fine. Thanks

My pleasure Shaunclo.You really have nothing to worry about at that rate ,just keep it in check.

Shit....I may be fucked...has anybody here ever withdrawn from Benzos. I may have in the past but was probably WDing on opiates at the time too thus voiding out the benzo. I've been on lots lots more than the above mentioned 20mg's of valium a day. Only day I dont take 'em is if I get a pill/bag/ball/patch. Example of tolerance: was prescribed 30 2mg K-pins three weeks ago for a torn AC(I refused the opiates(I keep extra close watch on that drug)) and the pills have been gone for a week and a half. So thats like three 2mg K-pins a day for about ten days. Plus a whole assortment of benz given to me by my dealer from temaz to Kpin to Valium to Xanyx to Loraz. Which brings me to the monthy script of what are now 1mg milli ativan's... 90 of 'em. Prior to that a I spent a solid year and a half living off of 120 10 milli V's a month and my Bassist's K-pins as trade for Forty(beer) and cig money. So in the last two years I've been a steady Benzo user and this is the first time Im realizing the extent. Even in the last six months though I've gone without them and or opiates for periods of time in which I felt no withdrawals. Times when I hadnt a opiate in over month and then ran out of Benzo's and felt fine.
Any description of what the WD is like would be appreciated? I wonder if I was never told the symptoms then I would never have them...proly not.

My dr took me off 10mg. aa day of valiums and I was fine for about a month,although I'm sure its different w/ certain people.Then One day I woke up my blood pressure was through the roof.I couldn't lift my head off the pillow without it throbbing.Then panic attacks kicked in and I had to go pick up my daughter at school.I walked up the hill and found myself uncontrollably crying and walking in circles,so I came home and had dad go get our daughter.Then it was the dry-heaves constantly.If the lady down the street wouldn't have brought me a handful of libriums I honestly think I would have had a stroke seeming tghe whole left side of my body also went numb.I hope this helps.I don't mean to scare you and I probably haven't but for me valium w/d's were next only to opiates(morphine),but then again I IV the morphine so thats why withdrawals are so damn bad.I wish I never woulda started that.

yeah barbs are the ones thatll kill ya pretty easily when it comes to withdrawal huh. same with your hardcore 2 fifths by nine am alcoholic. yever see leaving las vegas. Its about an alcoholic that quits his job and goes there to die. fucked up movie. falls in love with a prostitute and she trys to help him but then one day all the the drinks are gone.

My exes Father used to go into DT's on a monthly basis. A few times I was the one who had to pull him from the house to the car then from the car to Emergency. Man did that suck. I never heard no sick dopers cry and moan as loud or as much as someone having delirium tremours going into full blown Alcohol withdrawal. was wicked crazy.

[dissident]

i withdrew from a pretty huge lorazepam addiction recently.. it was similar to opiate withdrawl but some different mental issues.. like some strange sensations with vision and sleep, weird dreams etc.. and YES shaun, it took about 4 days to really start (for me anyway), unlike opiates where the worst is happening in 4 days. but i dont think that 20mgs every other day is enough to cause problems

I saw that flick and that one really sticks with you, or at least it did me. Very depressing... but I liked it, too. The director did a great job w/ the blurry, staggering pov (point of view) thru Nick Cage's character's eyes... esp in the beginning when he's setting his stuff on fire and leaving home.... Did anybody see Matchstick Men? I thought that was great. Totally diff genre tho. Sorta like a 2005 Sting (with Redford and Newman).

now you know why they put me in a cell by myself, add it all up barbs , alcohol, heroin , a month no sleep, whats the word thunderbird the fortified whine of choice yeefukinha

[HistoryofMadness]

about 3-4 years ago I was taking Xanax very heavily, 3-4mgs a night for 8 months. I got ahold of alot of opaites and decided to quit. I quit cold turkey and the 3rd day I had a very bad panic attack, and that night had a grand meil seizure, and ended up in the hospital. I told my GP and he tappered me off them witch took about 2 months...i never knew you could die from benzo withdrawls untill this happened to me. I swore never to take benzo again, lol...About 1 year ago I went on anouther bezo binge with xanax and valium, when i decided to quit I tappered myself down with xanax. It took me a month but I had no wds and felt fine...just make sure you are very careful when dealing with benzo wds..

Just now my stomach is settling back in place haveing read devils post. I always thought that would be the worst kind of torture. It's probably been done before and I probably knew at some point in time then forgot, but to intentionally give someone a huge tolerance to a combo of drugs then lock 'em away with water and no way to commit suicide. I wonder.... would the pain be strong enough....strong enough that you would be able to voluntarilly Dehydrate yourself to death. I hear Dehydration is a painfull death, hallucinations, but painfull. I wonder.

What was I saying...Oh yeah thanks for the input. It sounds like doing a taper with benzo is a much easier feat than with opiates. I finally cleaned out the free benzos and just got a 90 1mb refill of my Ativan yesterday. Thats right I talked him up half a milli and sixty pills. It went from 30 .5's to 90 1.0's. He said no more though. He said if I want more I have to see a shrink luckily my Ins. will cover one. So if I can just make it to that appointment I forgot to make with pills still left.

I was only taking 3mg of clonopin at night. Which i mean is a lot to fall asleep. Bad thing about this..... i related sleep to the pills. I had to "re-learn" how to sleep again. It sounds dumb but thats what it felt like. I still have problems and take clonopin once or twice a week especialy if i take opiates during the day (if i take certain opiats during the day i have hard time sleeping at night). I had to have my mom drive me places because i felt like i was going crazy (but still needed to get things done). It was a CRAZY feeling. I felt like my mind was seperating from my body, like a wall was being built between my body and my brain.

yeah i know that feeling, it was kinda like that when i stopped the lorazepam, i mean i feel like that anyway but it was REALLY BAD... like i had gone without sleep for a few days, that kinda feeling... and i guess i did go a few days without sleep but anyway yeah i know that feeling

valium is a shitty one to break off of, i got prescribed them when i decided to quit drinking after 10 years, he gave me valiums and it's a bitch when you start with 3 10 mg per day and your tolerance goes up big time, 90 wasn't going to last me a month.

it sucked and i was popping anything else the doc would prescribe like trazodone plus i got hold of the wifes codiene cough medicine (i cant remember the name) and that actually helped when i wasn't able to get anymore valium, the pharmacy would not give me any more for two weeks after i used up my 90. i stay away from the vals anymore.

[HistoryofMadness]

I have a friend named SWIM who wanted me to ask you if you'd just send them to him from now on. What shall I tell him? ;)

This site looks shady to me... its down, coincidentally just after the big bust(s), but it will be back soon, bigger and better! Feels like a set-up... feds bust it, take over the site, and then kick back and take names... am I being paranoid?

You seem to be experienced in OP... is this a NROP?

Anyway, it can't be too shady if things came through the pipeline etc etc. . .

I guess I'd have to be more 'in the loop' before I know who's shady, right? A nice site doesn't mean a good place, and visa versa; is this your experience?
