Anyone ever took this for anxiety

Are you going to take it prescribed from a doctor, or self prescribed?

Near impossible to get off docs so going to have to go unprescribed

Well I'm sorry to inform you, that's what we call recreational drug talk. And its not allowed.

Admin, please close thread....

Please don't close the thread until we try talk to this guy.

Hey Robert I started taking Valium (aka Diazepam) when I was living in Southeast Asia and working 3 jobs. I was teaching 4th grade in the morning, then tutoring high school students one-to-one in the evening, and then teaching English for an hour at night.

I was burning the candle at both ends and ruining myself. I started out taking 5mg of diazepam each day. That became 10mg. Three years later, I was ordering a tub of a thousand pills off the internet, and at my worst I was taking 40 blue pills a day (i.e. 400mg).

I strongly suggest against taking diazepam or any drug to try help anxiety. Are there any meditation groups near you? If you start meditating with a group once a week, and then eventually start meditating by yourself at home, you'll feel a lot better. I did 10 days of silence with a Buddhist group, it's 10 hours of meditation per day for 10 days straight, no conversation, no eye contact ( Vipassana Meditation ).

If you think you have problems now... wait til you see how bad you'll be 3 years from now if you start treating anxiety with drugs. You need to meditate, or chant, or some people even pray. Long walks work very well too -- my record is 32 miles without a break.

I thought we couldn't talk about rec drugs????

I call BS, 400mg of diazepam in a day and you'd stop breathing

Naw its very doable, shit I've taken 20-30 clonazepam before over an 24 hour period.

Paradoxical effect, make me insane violent.

I didn't read his post (Kai)

Im just done it and seen it with my own eyes,

Want to get rid of anxiety do a whole body workout, 9 sets each body part, 15 reps each after the work out you will ask yourself what anxity?

NO REC DRUG TALK GUYS! and I ain't blaming you couch it's the flower child.

Interesting thread. How does this work in the mind or body? I might need to start a low dose...

Your best bet is a local meditation group, or a residential meditation course (which is free, they're all over the world now and in almost 50 states: www.dhamma.org ).

Anxiety isn't medical. You don't treat it with medicine.

If you've never taken benzodiazepenes before, then yeah, that dose might kill you. I developed an addiction and a tolerance over about 3 years that led up to that.

I can well believe what couchlockd said too about clonazepam (which is another benzodiazepene). And when I lived in Asia, I saw some people take a strange reaction to sedatives (for example becoming aggressive, or seeing things).

X2, this is only going to one way song. Probs best to close it.

I agree. I think this thread has run its course. :)

Let's give it a break.

Thanks for the close on this...


Let's be more respectful when asked to stop the rec talk... which this is/was classified after he stated that he was not using a doctors advice for this...
