Has anyone got any experience using sodium valproate to prevent seizures from stopping bnz, mainly alps.  

 Do you need to start taking it whiles reaching the lowest dose you can go to before running out, or when you stop? How much would you need to use and for how long?

Can't really find out much about it from a non scripted point of view, but it's meant to stop a seizure from happen.   

 
Never heard of it but I found this: 

"Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with valproate. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:

Clonazepam because the risk of seizures may be increased

Benzodiazepines (eg, diazepam), felbamate, or salicylates (eg, aspirin) because they may increase the risk of valproate's side effects."

Thanks for you input.  I read that certain meds can increase the side effects on the leaflet that come with the bottle. Was wondering if it would stop benzo seizures.  I know its given to people on certain antipsychotics to prevent a seizure from occurring. And was told it can prevent a seizure from stopping benzo suddenly.  This wasn't said from a doctor etc. But from someone about to go on clonazepam doctor script after being on other benzo. I guess its different for case to case. 

Come across a couple of bottles and wanted to know if the worst case scenario happened and you run out of meds for whatever reason. Whether sodium valproate would work. Suppose if that ever happens I will find out if its true or not.  Either way your going to be in a bad situation.    

 
@Nikolas- agree with your warning about sodium valproate but I want to add a warning about the carbamazepine you referenced  - a medication which has specific uses - epilepsy, trigeminal neuralgia  - useful when carefully monitored by an MD involved in the patient's care, knowing all of the rx'd and non rx'd meds being used - reacts adversely with many classes of meds and to my knowledge (med school was a long time ago!) not useful for alleviating benzo or opiate WD symptoms.  I have actually seen two cases of Stevens Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis in patients of Asian ancestry with confirmed HLA-B1 502 allele.  **You noted medicine and pharmacology as interests!! I'll cease and desist now

Welcome to our wonderful, supportive forum and look forward to your further participation.

 
Well i've been taking some valporat not had any negative side effects after trying for 4 days whilst using di@Z. Might try it if I have to one day for wd seizure prevention .  Seems like anything thing you do or use will have a risk attached. This is what benzo are about.        

 
No Depakote will not help with withdrawal seizures from Alp. Best way is to save a few Alps and Ween off of them. Diaz is also a good way to prevent seizures when withdrawing from Alps or even Clonaz.

  8. xenxra @ xenxra: pretty sure black also went rogue sometime late last year
  9. Strawhat7 @ Strawhat7: Yo, whatever happened to Mr. Black? Just got a rando email from him after ghosting me like a year and a half ago
  10. LW815 @ LW815: Know what’s really going on in somebody else’s head or how much they’re really dealing with and feel like they’re left with no other options. Been a very sad few days but 2 complete (irl anyway) strangers cared enough about what I was going through to talk to me about it, though they owe me nothing and have no reason to help my personal pain other than the kindness in their own hearts. Just shows that this place is a real community, not just a forum of people who only care about themselves.
  11. LW815 @ LW815: Was nodding in/out the entire time writing those shouts and spparently was fully out sending the last one lol. But II find it ‘uplifting’ as two people I’ve never actually met and only know the others online presence through subscriptions, who I have a better chance of getting a handy J from Jesus Christ himself, both were so quick to share their own experience and wise words and assurances that things will look up and not to feel guilty or be mad at somebody for going that route - as you never
  12. xenxra @ xenxra: @hotdog45 meh, same difference. they both got blacklisted on here. wouldn't be the first time a rogue shop sent out unsolicited comms after the fact.
  13. MOD @ MOD: Hello @everyone
  14. LW815 @ LW815: Own personal experience with this kind of this type kind of situation and sympathized with my pain when I really just needed somebody to talk to. Both went out of their way to help a stranger in a time of need when I really needed somebody, and body to talk to. MM
  15. LW815 @ LW815: Sent a simple conf email and I just dropped a ball on them. I really just needed to let it out, didn’t expect them to reply in such a thoughtful way that it drastically changed the rest of my day and mindset for the bette . Above and beyond - and the last night while chatting with another that I knew had at least once one child,, so i wished them a belated happy Father’s Day, which again caused me to spill it all to them and again received the most thoughtful and kind response, as well as their-
  16. LW815 @ LW815: They didn’t need to. They could have just continued on with the nature or the main purpose of what the relationship between us is, I didn’t really have anybody else to let it out to at the time and they both went far beyond what I’d expect. Not that I’d assumed they’re cold/A-holes - it was just a lot from somebody who’s technically a competent stranger. A very close friend of mine committed suicide on Father’s Day and iwas emotionally wrecked witih nobody to talk to, and the first author just
  17. LW815 @ LW815: @Mokachin0 not really uplifting in the normal sense, but two popular authors on here took the time out of their likely very busy days to not only read my massive walls of text, but both also replied with the most kind, thoughtful and positive responses when I randomly dumped my personal problems into their laps
  18. H @ hotdog45: I have never ordered mags from him I meant
  19. H @ hotdog45: @xenxra I thought that too but after digging on the site it is chemical cabinet. Either way I deleted the email. I have ordered mags from him, but I thought you guys should know he's reaching out to people again. After reading the thread if anyone gets an email from him I would suggest doing the same.
  20. xenxra @ xenxra: @hotdog45 isn't that ghost? he threw his rep in the trash and got blacklisted
