Question for valium users please, current or ex valium taperers


Recommended Posts

Does or did, anyone take longer than 2 weeks to feel symptoms after an ashton cut?

I'm asking because I cut 2mg from 32mg last night, after reading that benzos cause osteoporosis and just the fact that I want to detox.

I figured that after 14 days I would know if I felt the cut or not, but am interested to know if anyone took longer than 14 days to feel a cut?

Thanks

The typical reaction time to a diazepam cut is 5-8 days.  If you're at 14 days, you're OK.

Yes. Sometimes it took 2 to 3 weeks to feel the valium lag. I do have a slower metabolism in general.

Goodness, that's a long lag-time, I've never heard it be longer than 2 weeks, and even 2 weeks is a stretch. It's been 3 days for me, since my 2mg cut and I'm not feeling anything, but to be honest, I was on 32mg, so I very much doubt I will.

I don't know my 'lag-time' and doubt whether I will find it from this cut or maybe the next, but I'll be glad as soon as I do, because it's always good to know your lag time.

Perimenopause symptoms was the main reason I never found my lag time as I confused them with benzo wd.

They say it's not possible,  but I feel even the smallest cut the next morning! Happens all the time. Must be something to do with my metabolism and / or Fibromyalgia(?)

I've heard that fast metabolisers feel cuts quicker. In a way it's simpler as you dont have that interim time between the cut and emergence pf symptoms where you feel ok.

Journey, what are pf symptoms?  I found out today that last night I made a mistake: I accidently skipped a week in my tapering schedule and so tapered too quickly. Today is a terrible day. Everything hurts, I feel faint,  absolutely no energy. Tonight I am going to correct this mistake and up the dose to what is was supposed to be. Hope I can stabilise.  :-\

Sorry I typed pf instead of of. Hope that makes sense.

When you say you skipped a week in your tapering schedule, do you mean you accidentally made two cuts?

As far as I understand, so long as the last cut was made less than 14 days ago, it is ok to go up to the dose you intended to be at, or are comfortable at.

Thanks. I do micro dry cuts on a daily base.  So there's seven  0,001 cuts in a week,  I took a 0,007 cut last night. It hurts.

Sorry to hear that, I would go back up to your dose before the accident and stabilise and restart. What liquid are you using?

I don't use a liquid, my stomach and gut can't handle it. Going to take the dose I should have taken and stay on that for a while.

Oh! sorry I assumed that DLMT meant Daily Liquid Micro Taper, dunno where I got that form.

What does DLMT mean?

How do you manage to divide the doses so small?

Hope you recover soon.

Does anyone know the reaction time for clonzanapam?

I don't but its a lot less than valium, I think it varies among users, so while waiting for a klonopin user, I would say a few days, but it's only a guess.
