Benzo WD Igor 29 years

[[...]]

Good day to ALL!

My name is Igor, I am from Russia. I would like to tell you more about my current benzo situation and how I manged to get into it and out. First of all, I would like to say that benzo was never my drug of choice. My drug of choice always was weed and cocaine. And still it is.

One year ago, my friend gave me xanax pill, and I tried it. I felt completely nothing, and overall not pleasure feeling (actually no feelings at all). I did not like it.

I tried in only once that time. But after six month ago on 13 January 2019 I read that benzo is perfect for cocaine WD, even better than weed. And weed is always different as you know. So I bought benzo pill, it was pharma original pill. I guess that pill that gave me my friend one year ago was fake or not good quality. So I tried it and that time I felt great feelling of relaxation and "no care about the world feeling", you know it)) Then I tried it after cocaine and after 15 min I was completely sober without any bad cocaine  WD. I thought that it is actually perfect chill pill. And it destroys caine WD. That pill was Xanax 1mg. So I started using it on almost daily basis, without cocaine and also after cocaine (with days off, may be total 15 days off xanax) during 95 days, consuming  182mg in this period. In March I had business trip on another country so I was one week off xanax that time. In this business trip after first 2 days I had total insomnia for all rest trip time and also serious panic attacks. After I came back to my country I started search about xanax WD and realized that it was because of pills. But I could not resist to take it again. So I started to take again pills, till aprill 19 2019. I also did mini taper for 10 days, reducing from 2mg to 0,25 mg. And april 19 I did Cold Turkey. First 4 days was disaster, no sleep, total fitgue, headache, stomachache, anxity, panic attacks. After this 4 days of xanax WD, it started to get better. Now I have only fatigue all day. I feel like no matter how much I slept, I wake completely broke. Now I am 15 days free of xanax, and slowly I feeel better. I do smoke weed every day to relax nerve system, eat and sleep. I also do sport a lot. Actually I do sport on regular basis for 5 years. A also drink tons of water.

I still fear of acute phase. God bless I can go trough it safely.

 

I do not recommed anybody to touch that pill. I read that is actually more dangerous than heroin. PLEASE STAY AWAY OF IT!!! You can take it only in case of very very very very serious problem, concerning life rescue ONLY. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS DRUG. DONT EVER TOUCH IT RECREATIONALLY. THIS NO FUN OR JOKE AT ALL!!!

GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!

Welcome to BenzoBuddies!  We are glad you decided to join us.  You'll find a lot of support and information on this forum, which is the only one of its kind online.  Congratulations on getting off xanax.  I 'm glad you are feeling milder wd symptoms so quickly, you are lucky in that respect.  For some, benzo cold turkey symptoms are severe and last for a very long time.

 

For those starting a taper, we generally recommend starting out at a rate of 5 to 10% every 10-14 days, then adjusting the taper to suit your own needs.  Note: very short term users may be able to taper faster.

 

Withdrawal symptoms, which vary widely but commonly include anxiety and insomnia, often occur during a taper, but these are temporary and will get better in time.  In general, first tapers are easier, but cold turkeys or multiple withdrawals may be more severe and longer lasting.  Here are a few links to get you started:

 

The Ashton Manual, a concise reference for tapering and symptom issues.  Chapter III contains excellent descriptions of common symptoms such as muscle issues, anxiety, and hyper-awareness

Hi, Igor!

[[...]]

This drug not only makes you care less about yourself or anybody, but also makes you consume other drugs much more than you used to consume. It lowers you abillity to make right decisions and just puts haze in your mind. In my case it led to consume more caine and also I mixed xanax and weed, which is also no good idea at all. Mixing any substance is very extreme and I never mixed drugs in my life before, but with xanax pills you just do it, because you care less about anything. I found out, that weed can help, but only indica medical strains, which helps with sleep and eat. Although I do not reccommend anybody to smoke weed, if you are not regular smoker like me. Please ask your doctor if you can take it or not. I also think that my young age, sport activity and mild-term use is reason why I have only mild symptoms. May be if I used more time, I would have much more severe WD of xanax. Social stigma about this drug is completely wrong and crazy, because it is as dangerous as classic hard drugs like meth, opiates, crack-cocaine (I never tried!!!). I just wonder how easy in USA people get prescribed this drug. Because it is super-extreme drug. It should be given to person, if only this is only way to treat some illlness or in case of emergency help (for example stimulants overdose). Doctors in your country are nothing more than drug pushers with degree. This drug should be held in black-list. And should be treated same as other hard-drugs.

I also did not  mentioned that I have memory-loss, I can not concentrate on anything. I forget days of my life, I can not remember what was a few days before. This is so bad situation, when you can not remember your life. This drug is crazy crazy, like super crazy. I also have muscle pain, heart pains (not very strong). I think I will complete recover not sooner than 3-5 month.

 

I also want to share one very important information with members. I tried to found out information on what makes xanax so potent and strong drug. What is origin of this drug and how and from what it is made of. In my research I found out that  benzo-group drugs is made of substance called Benzylisoquinoline.  This alkaloid is from poppy plant. When opium poppy grows, at the growth and maturation stage, it passes through this alkaloid, before becoming a real opiate with morphine, codeine and other poppy alkaloids. So benzos are nothing more than pre-opiate with opiate-like effect (I never touched any opiate in my life-PLEASE NEVER TOUCH IT!!!). You can now understand where benzos come from and why it is so strong and powerful. You can make your research by key words-Benzylisoquinoline alkaloid biosynthesis in opium poppy.
