> That wasn't a problem with diazepam though and that is one of the longest acting benzos according to Ms. Ashton's equivalence chart.
I think that the really long acting metabolites in Valium are not in very large concentrations and/or are not very potent. I know that some of them have ridiculously long half-lives, though. Maybe my body is just weird, but I can take a large amount of Valium and feel just fine the morning after; but if I take even .25mg of Klonopin, I'll be extremely groggy and getting out of bed will be torture.
> Do you have any experience with barbs yourself christophrejmc?No, unfortunately not. I recently (as in, 2 years ago) had some problems with opioid addiction, which my pdoc knows all about, so I've been having trouble even getting a script for Lyrica. She'll give me all the Dexedrine and Xanax I want, but getting anything off-label or slightly unconventional is nearly impossible.
> I suppose a short acting barb may be fun to some people, but I've always found benzos to be more pleasurable myself.
Interesting, in all the years I've taken them, I've never found benzos pleasurable at all.
