When is too much benzos too much?

[AceSlater]

I've heard the stories - people getting heavily addicted to their therapeutic dose of 1mg/day, even after just taking it for a few weeks.

The last 4-5 years, I've slowly worked my tolerance up buy getting Klonopins from friends to the point that I dont even feel anything on 4mg.

When I've stopped, the only WD syndrome was insomnia, which always went away within 2 weeks - maybe a little increased anxiety during the day.

I've recently started trying RC benzos. I got scared when I was able to munch down 10 etizolams and be fully functional, feeling absolutely nothing. Also tried 2.5 mg of clonzelam blotter - nothing. I did however try 16mg of flubrozepam and that felt great! Just like I used to only feel good taking valiums. Maybe its the make up of each person's GABA receptors.

But thee new RC benzos seem to have such long halflives and people keep saying to only use those maybe once a week, etc... I know, I know. I am playing with fire.

But.. my question is - are there other benzo users who seem to be able to take large doses and not have too much problem with WD's? Or have taken as large doses as I have (as high as maybe a month will go by sometimes where i'm taking 3-4mg of xanax/klonopin or 50mg valium per day, every day), AM I psyching myself out, or will I be OK if I just taper right?

That's a mad amount 16mg of flubromazolam especially at the dose of 0.25mg per pill (if that's what you meant by flubrozepam?) 64 pills!!.

If I took that much I'd be either dead or comatosed for days!!.

I think you do have a high tolerance,I thought I did but you definitely do @AceSlater......

Peace

16 mg of FlubrozoPAM, not LAM. LAM i've taken up to 2 mg and still not as relaxing as PAM.

When you wake up and realized you've pissed your bed then you know you've had too much

When  you go out to do regular chores and just the thought stresses you out that you forgot your little to-go pill container, containing a few benzos (in case of emergency, you know).

I myself can go without my Rivotril or Ativan for 2 days, but after that the shakes start to kick in. When I was hooked on Xanax, and I had missed my evening pill,

next lunchtime I would feel like dying.
