squiggles, yes have been using gbl(ghb) for past 2 yrs. after expereiences, muscle jerking and side effects, i read taking a low dose of a benzo stops the possible seizure like symptoms ghb can produce. So for the longest time i was taking .25mg of xanax every 5-6 hrs 2-3 daily depending on my ghb dosage, which yes is sometimes 10-20ml daily. recently 2 weeks ago, a friend of mine gave me 15 klonopin. i stopped the xanax, took .5mg of klonopin every 8hrs with the ghb. seems to work better for any convultions or twitches, but the ghb high wasnt great. so after about 10 days of klonipin .5mg 2 times a day and ghb, i switched back to xanax.25 mg 3 times a day. recently about 4 days after the klonopin stoppage, i started feeling these syptoms i described. i also ran out of ghb 2 days ago,which made me up the xanax to .5mg every 6 hrs, and still dont feel as peaceful or sedated relaxed as a should me. I feel that im still feeling klonopin withdrawls, not as bad as if i was not taking xanax or g. Using either xanax or klonopin with g, your can be prone for seirzures, esp at high doses of both. For expample, a buddy of mine was using 30-40ml of gbl with 2mg give or take of xanax a day. i warned him to at least wean the g down to 15ml and xanax to 1mg total. he didnt. well his wife found the g and xanax, and 2 hrs later he went into a 30 hr serizure.
So thats why ill never go above 1mg of either xanax or klonopin(def spaced out, never 1mg at once, unless detoxing from g, and never more than 15ml of gbl.
What im getting at, is this. If i stop ghb, which has alot of pros in my life now, an bad, ill defenitely have to take at least 2mg of xanax a day, or 2mg of klonopin. I cannot be percribed that much due to a problem i cant say why. either i get up to 1mg of xanax, or 1mg of klonopin, if i do get klonopin.i tried gabaril and it DOES NOT sedate you, it makes you all screwed up esp at high doses i felt like i had epilepsy.
for me, benzos dont make me high, not at all. just calm me. GHB calms me,at the same times, makes me happy social, creative, etc! At least i dont drink anymore. everyone has a different veiw, but i dont wanna set my self up for a seizure of overdose. 2ml of gbl .25 of xanax never bothered me. At 1mg, and ghb, you may start slowing down breathing, etc.
