I’m dumping it all in the toilet, save for a few doses.
It can’t be coincidental that I feel like shit in the early evenings and I normally dose about 9 o clock.

classic, the shame and regret that leads to binning drugs and disavowing them, been there, best of luck, after they clear your system you’ll feel their lack for several days more.. hope sleep returns

Well as it turns out Izbeck’s problem was completely non-benzo related. She was getting withdrawal from a nasal steroid spray lol. I was talking to her last night. Sure she might give more details if she returns to this thread.

Update.

The ‘symptoms from withdrawal’ I had were headaches, subsequently they were caused by having used this nasal spray (for my sinuses) taking this nasal spray for two weeks, and then stopping has caused my sinuses to react badly. The sinus problems are giving me incorrigible headaches and pains around the sinuss and behind the eyes.

Still, I am still unable to relax into a sleep, so the benzos are still a problem.
I have dumped all but 4mg of it, and implore my friends who have benzos, to keep it the fuck away from me :p

Not saying the benzos aren’t a problem but you were taking them because you couldn’t slep anyway. The benzos may well be part of the problem, but then again perhaps not?

I should just shut up and stop advocating benzo use, don’t do it kids, can mess you up quite easily without you even realising

Yes they’ve helped me sleep which is good, but they also make me wake up anxious and groggy. So I’ve been waking up feeling like I’ve had a really bad nights sleep.
I remember waking up from a valium induced sleep and waking up quite pleasantly.

That is odd since Valium has a much longer halflife. If you still have any of the pellets I’d try just half of one, see how that fairs you. You may not feel its effects as much because you are used to higher doses but I bet it still helps you sleep. And may eliminate the grogginess. Just a suggestion.

Update.

Well my sinus problems have subsided, and I no longer have any headaches during the day which is nice.
the night before I tried not taking any benzo, and when it got to 1am I started to feel anxious and had a spinny head. I took 1mg and shortly after fell asleep.
Last night I drank quite a bit, and after some exercise I was completely knackered I tucked myself in to bed to fall asleep. I did gradually and woke up at half two feeling really hot, anzious (heart beating really fast) and really struggled to fall asleep. I then took 1mg around three am and fell asleep. Woke up this morning at half seven and feel like absolute shit 🙁

Have you tried over the counter Nytol (Dipenhydramine) and I forget the brand name, begins with a p, phenergan? (Promethazine), these help with sleep massively IMO. Totally zonk me out. They’re anti-histamines can be picked up in boots (for prometh) and all pharms for Dipeh I know that for sure.

Thanks, I’ll walk over to the pharmacy later to pick up.
I am tired in the evenings, I’m already ‘zonked’ but its the anxiety that is keeping me awake.

Started with one problem, now I have a completely different one.

I hear hydrogen cyanide can help to solve the being awake part.

Can I ask how long you relied on benzos for sleep, because ATM due to a detox I’m doing I’ve been using them a bit as I hate this 3-4am sleep bullshit. So would be interested how long it took for you to gain a tolerance. I’ve eaten through 200 10mg valium in a week and I had no problems coming off that. But I guess sleep is a different story.

You could go to your GP for a valium reduction taper, but knowing your circumstances you might not want that on file.

Why not speak to the doc about getting a hypnotic like zopiclone to help in the short term?

About a three weeks now. Minimum of 2mg, then with the powder who knows?
I’m doing ok with just 1mg atm. And I’m going out Saturday night so that should knacker me out enough to sleep un aided on Sunday?

I’ve also got some weed which could either totally relax me or make me super anxious/paranoid..so bit of a gamble.

Still, I’ve resolved most personal issues which is a good thing.

Zopiclone is the most guaranteed sleeper for me, those things obliterate me at 7.5mg! They trip me out as well before I fall asleep. Need a good 10+ hours though or the grogginess is an issue.
