I'm right there with you. K's are my go to. Love them.Sounds like I'm the only one that likes K-pins...... don't get me wrong; I really like Xanax but I can't come off of Xanax without crazy panic attacks and a phantom feeling of extreme pressure about 6 inches above my head, it feels as if something is about to pop.... K-pins give me almost the same relief with a little less euphoria and I can come off of them with little to no side effects...... Don't get me wrong, I take the occasional Xanax for the little boost in euphoria, but am fine on strictly k-pins.....
How long did you take that dose for? What benzo did you take after stopping your clonlam use? I felt like shit for a solid week after taking it for a few weeks. But back to normal and taking what i get prescribed by dr which is diaz. Don't feel like it has messed my tolerance up to the point where i have to self medicate by taking more then normal to feel well.@sweetmelissa589. Yes you're tolerance will recover but can take literally months. I was taking 2-4 2mg clonlams a day and it took like 3 full months and a trip to the hospital for withdrawal help. Stay away from that shit just way too potent.
I'm fairly certain I ran across a chart at some point that had all the half lives of the rec benzos out there which was pretty informative. Lemmie see if I can dig it up @ConceitedHow long did you take that dose for? What benzo did you take after stopping your clonlam use?

Not saying it can't leave you wondering where your tolerance is at. But from my experience it didn't leave me in a mess now thankfully. But it's good to know there is a possibility you could shot yourself in the foot.
Would be good if there was a dr heather Ashton manual for the rc benzo world to look up what the half life is, and what to use and for how long to prevent savage withdrawals. Suppose it's still a fairly new thing all these rc benzos.

That sounds like a complete nightmare. Good job i ran out when i did or i would of carried on. Its crazy the amount of alps you had to take to feel normal im guessing? Don't know how i didn't od because i was taking mdone as well taking 4/5 0.5's. My benzo tolerance isn't as high as it has been i thought. Think i'll just use rc benzo as a treat every now and then. Because clonlam and mdone was a really nice feeling plus i like gouching to much.@Conceited, I was using that dose for at least 2-3 months. And come to think of it, they were actually 1mg c-lams, not 2. But they were soooooooo strong. Stronger than flübrOm@zOlam and it's cousin fpam. I don't know if overdosed or what. But to give you an idea. I ran out for a few days and in order to keep the same vibe going I would take 10 totem bars, 6 times a day. That's 120mg of alpro a day. For me, 1mg of c-lam was equivalent to like 15-20mg of zans. To answer your question, they tapered me down at the hospital with Librium for like a week and Ativan once or twice a day. Only like a mg I think. I didn't feel either of them but they did make it slightly bearable. I actually didnt touch anything for 3 months later and when I did either the zanz were weak or tolerance was still there cuz I took 4mg and it felt like nothing. Then 3 months later (so like 6 months ago) I took 4mg of zans (couple days ago) and it knocked my socks off. So for me it was 6 months to get back to normal.
I Hope that helps. But honestly try to stay away from all of the rc benzos if you can. I did every one and it was super fun while it lasted but I lost my job, caught a 3rd DUI, picked up 3 felony retail theft cases, lost my driver's license for ten years, lost my best friend cuz he went to prison for 8 years for choices made on that stuff and barely hung onto my wife. and did 180 days in jail. If I had to do it all over again, I'd have stuck with valley girls or something not so dangerous.
Oh, and for the record, even after 15 days of impatient hospital treatment, the rebound anxiety was the worst thing I have ever experienced in my life BAR -NONE. The Ativan really helped but still it was like a 2 week long panic attack that never stopped for even one second, not even in my sleep or dreams. No bs
@Conceited took a long time for hospital to understand what I was talking about. But eventually they did. So funny your last sentence above, I swear to god I did the exact same thing and that is a quote direct from my book. "only learn lessons the hard way" LOLDid the hospital have experience with clonlam or was it just give you more and more meds till you were out of the danger zone?
I'll take your advice onboard, but i know i'll try all the rc benzos. Im new to that side of benzo. And i only learn lessons the hard way unfortunately.
