Haven't been here for aaaages, can't believe I remembered my password
:wave: Hi to any of the old-school gang I used to waste time on here with.
Anyway, did a search and not much came up. Probably spelling it wrong.
Saturday night I took about 5 pills and a bit of coke, by Sunday afternoon had pretty much come down and was offered some Temazepan to help me sleep. Can't believe I just crossed another thing off the "list-of-things-I-was-certain-I'd-never-do" but you know what it's like when you're coming down, you'll swallow whatever is set in front of you. Got a bloody lovely sleep for once.
I don't know why prescription drugs feels more dodgy than the other shit I've been taking, but the comedown guilts are a real killer. What seemed like a great idea on Saturday night seems like Grade A Stupidity in the cold light of Monday morning. These things were about the size of asprins with "TEM 20 / lagap" written on them, so I assume they were the real deal. I know nothing about dosage of this kind of thing.
Can somebody reassure me that banging two of these about 1-2 hours apart didn't do me any lasting damage and I'm not going to do a Lewis-from-Hollyoaks, turn yellow and drop dead in three days time?

The only consolation for dying would be the someone else would have to explain to my mum *shudder*
As for doing benzos on the come down, it can be quite dangerous but quite a lot of people do it. I would heavily advise against just doing something because you get offered it. Make sure you know what you are taking, the dose and what it will do. By the sound of it you took 40mg which is a relatively high but not that high dose.
Doing sedatives on the come down can make you feel better in the short term but also causes quite a bit of harm to your body and can make you feel worse. Also you can end up doing what quite a few people do and over do it, be sick and end up choking on it. Or just getting too relaxed and wetting the bed.
Be VERY careful with downers. They will kill you.
