The first few days on 20mg were hard but I've coped I'm not expecting to feel much of a difference between 20mg and 15mg a day. I think part of it is psychological although there are a lot of things that are clearly not, like the twitches/cramps/headfuck that comes with it. I just have a joint to get me to bed but I won't be doing that when I've come off them incase of any anxiety/paranoia because I haven't smoked dope without them in my system in them for a while so if I do it'll only be a single skinner or summat. I'm having a long break from the e's and only gonna do the odd bit of coke down pub and that. Trying to turn my life round a bit, feel like I've been in a drug haze for years!
Wish me luck!
I took a 5mg diazepam today, which is nothing really but i never used them before, plus i was meant to be working too.
Didnt effect me much, i just felt had a 'nice, calm' feeling for an hour or so. This could have just been psychological though!!
Anyway as far as recreational doses go I'd say they start at about 40-50mg, expect amnesia though if you're not used to them! And whilst maybe 1-2 drinks will potentiate the feeling a lot and be reasonably safe I'd advise anyone to play it safe when unexperienced, despite what friends etc might do.
40mg with a couple of alcoholic drinks is easily enough to knock most people out cold.
I must just have built up a big tolerance then because at the minute 40mg would barely touch me, I think it may fuck someone up a bit but not KO them. Wobbly and amnesic maybe, play safe! I was on 200mg and drinking every day for a week and I wasn't totally out of it. And when I didn't have a tolerance I took 40mg when I went to hospital and slept while I waited for my X-Ray, but I could easily wake up it was more of the fact that I was really bored and relaxed at the same time.
20-30mg is a good starting dose to feel the effects I think.
For some reason though 15mg of Nitrazepam, which is meant to be weaker (although it is a hypnotic benzo as opposed to anxiolitic) makes me more slurry and drunken. Apart from when I've built up a big tolerance like I have. It's shit having a tolerance, don't get much of the good feeling. They are definately something that should just be saved for comedowns/hangovers or occaisional use. Taking them regularly is very very habit forming, I could manage coming off 240mg DHC a day almost cold turkey but coming off a few vallys a day is much worse and lasts about 2 weeks. The first week being really bad then second week improving by the day.
