“I once went three days without sleep.”
This is just a side note, but I’ve never heard of anything like this happening before with such a short course of benzos.
That doesn’t mean it’s not happening, and it doesn’t mean that it’s not the benzos, but because it’s an unusual outcome, have you considered looking into other possible causes?
You were taking the benzos for sleep, after all, could a different underlying cause have gotten worse or been exacerbated by the benzos?
To be clear, this isn’t to diminish or invalidate your experience, it’s genuine concern from another human.
- shepardrtc 4y agoIt was two 15mg Temazepam capsules every night. Temazepam is a very powerful benzo. One night I actually took 60mg total without understanding what I was doing. So its very different from a Xanax, which is what people usually think of when they think of benzos. Anxiety was the underlying cause of all of this, and I was dealing with a lot of stuff in life at the time that was causing me anxiety. So yes, it wasn't just the benzos and the phenibut. My body simply couldn't handle any anxiety and I was putting myself in situations that caused it.
