Hello babblers!
This is my first post so be supportive please)
What do you think about this benzo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenazepam ?I just started my trial and am rather disappointed: anxiolytic effect is almost incomprehensible, but i feel very sedated, a lot of apathy, drowsiness, etc.
I would like to try clonazepam or alprazolan but unfortunately phenazepan is the only (almost) legal benzo in my country.
Have you had any experience with phenazepam? could you compare it with other benzos? how can i fight drowsiness? and how long should i wait till it's clear that phenazepam doesn't work for me?

Thats a new one for me. But your description of it sounds pretty typical of someone who isnt familiar with benzos. Its really a matter of waiting for tolerance to build.
I have no idea where you're from exactly but theres also a possibility that Phenibut may be legal to buy because i know it has a long history of over the counter use in the eastern bloc although i have no idea what it would be called in your country.

I'm not sure what to say, since the drug sounds like one of those extremely esoteric eastern European benzodiazepines that never makes it to market here.As for the tragic accident, it could be why it never made it here but I think that the pilot was probably not supposed to be under its influence or was unfamiliar with its use. Anyhow ergo post facto speculations are not worth going into.
It really sounds strange that it could only be the only legal benzodiazepine since it has to be related to some other one somehow as they all have certain commonalities.
You may have to go other legal routes of anxiolytic management if they exist such as propranolol or similar beta blockers, I don't know if herbs are regulated such as kava (I really double really wouldn't go there, extreme problems) or other things that I can't quite think off the top of my head that maybe someone on the alternative board would know
