Yeah he’s in the exact time when something like DTs would be a concern. Just because you’ve never seen someone with severe alcohol withdrawal doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

you’re tapering down way too quickly

took me a good like 6 months to taper off norcos w/o feeling like s***

you gotta lower your dose by very small increments like every 2-4 weeks if you don’t want the heavy withdrawal symptoms. gotta give your body time to adjust and feel normal everytime you lower your dose

naw don’t be spreading false info like that

my friends cousin wasn’t even taking a lot every day just small amounts over a long period of time and he had seizures n s***

they were prescribed by a doc?

it was my friends/old roommates cousin. dude came to visit us from Hawaii and we were doing coke and x**** and he told us his story. didn’t ask him if they were prescribed or not cause I didn’t care enough to ask tbh

we're not talking bout coke too fam i'm not spreading false info

You’re totally misunderstanding my post

me and my friends were doing coke and X****

My friends cousin saw us doing the x**** and told us to be careful w that s*** cause he was taking them regularly in small amounts and still had a seizure.

just cause YOU don’t have extreme withdrawal symptoms does not mean EVERYONE won’t either

ppl react to d**** differently.

like in the cig quitting thread some dudes are saying they had crazy withdrawals feeling sick af after only smoking for 3 years or saying it was harder to quit than cocaine

I quit cigarettes after smoking a pack+ a day for 5 years cold turkey and the withdrawals honestly weren’t that bad for me. and was much easier to quit than cocaine for me.

like I said, ppl react differently to d****. better to be safe and aware.

No offense fam but you kind of are

Ummm cigarettes are different than benzos tho.

holy s*** how dumb are ppl on here

I was using that as an example to show that ppl react to d**** differently. some ppl might not have any problems quitting a d*** and others might go thru hell and back trying to quit.

just like how dude I quoted said Benzo withdrawals are only extreme if you taking 20 bars a day when I know ppl who take way less than that who still had extrme withdrawals

No. I had to quit that shut cold turkey. Rough couple of weeks

i think @Squilliam was f***ing with you lmao

You wanna talk about dumb? Try to understand this

Alcohol, like benzodiazepine, is a gaba receptor agonist. It suppresses neurotransmitters in your brain. When you quit alcohol OR benzos cold turkey your neurotransmitters go crazy because there is nothing inhibiting them. This increases your risk of seizures.

The person does not need to have withdrawal symptoms to be at risk of seizures. What you’re saying is completely irrelevant.

Matter of fact often times when you tell your doctor you want to quit alcohol they will PRESCRIBE you benzos to taper off because of how similar they are as d****.

Each person might have different severity of withdrawal symptoms with any variety of d**** but it’s irrelevant to discuss this when we are specifically talking about benzos and alcohol

“ When you quit alcohol OR benzos cold turkey your neurotransmitters go crazy because there is nothing inhibiting them. This increases your risk of seizures.”

so you are agreeing w me that quitting Benzos after extended use can increase chances of seizures..

the dude I quoted pretty much said “don’t worry about getting seizures”

I’m saying “there is a chance of having seizures/extreme withdrawal symptoms when you quit benzos after extended use”

crazy I had to explain this 4 different ways

Wait nvm I think y’all just don’t get what each other is trying to say

My bad then I misunderstood. I thought you were saying some people can quit without bad withdrawals just because your own personal experience with cigarettes was easy to quit.

no that’s what the dude I was quoting was tryna say loll

Yea I replied to the wrong person then. My fault

You gonna be goin through withdrawals for a good 2 months just know it’s gonna end eventually

Yeah you need to lay off for a bit off any d*** if you are getting sweaty hands those are major withdrawal symptoms

ik 2 people who have had seizures from benzo withdrawals

Weed

you HAVE to taper off
