Hi guys,

I'm currently using xanax about 1-3 times a week, depending on how many social events I have to attend and the one thing I hate is the drowsy feeling I get on it now. I also don't like the way it wears off after a few hours.

I have asked for help finding clonazepam online in the uk without prescription before but nothing turned up. I'd like to try it to see if it works better for me than xanax as I heard alot of stories of it being a beter drug.

Now I'm just looking for someone here who currently takes it who could help me out by selling me just 3 or 4 pills to try them out. I'll give you an extremely good price for them!! If they turn out to work better for me I'll then continue the search for an online supplier.

Please someone help me out! I could really do with your help.

Thanks a million

i used to take klonopin but i ran out of my supply the website that i got it from was no longer working so i am out of options. let me know where you got your xanax from as its better than nothing. it annoys me in the uk that a lot of treatment for anxiety doesnt really help at all and benzos like xanax or klonopin are not even recognised as useful for the treatment of anxiety.

There's a reason why they don't prescribe benzo's so freely, your body becomes tolerant and dependent on them very easily. I think this was a big problem in the UK as there are many people from there that are suffering due to long term use of them. The withdrawal can be a long and excruciating process.

It always starts with a pill here and there for those certain "events", doesn’t take much or long to form dependence. I should have listened to the first doctor when he said "I wouldn't wish benzo addiction on my worst enemy". If I were you I would stop while you still can.

I never took them every day i only took the klonopin for social situations where i might have felt uncomfortable or when i just needed to get some sleep:p As long as you only take this stuff for when you need it it should be ok. This is only for klonopin though which ive read is one of the lesser addictive benzos and the most thoroughly researched (at least in america) for sa.

I take xanax only when there is a crisis or a pre-booked event like a meeting or social event. And I'm very strict about it too. I would take half of a 1mg pill about 1-3 times a week. I try to get through most situations without it and only use it for the big ones. I live a fairly social life, seeing 2 friends twice a week each, going to the cinema at least once a week and seeing my girlfriend every other weekend. It has really REALLY helped me improve my life Very Happy

I really would prefer clonazepam (klonopin) though but for now xanax will have to do.

Pm me and I'll give you my suppliers details if you are stuck.

I want to try Klonopin as well but my psychiatrist refused to prescribe it (she didn't, however, have any hangups about prescribing 90 mg of Nardil a day unsupervised for months at a time). Time to go doctor shopping methinks...
I'm not really up on the literature surrounding benzo addiction, but from the little I've read, people suffering from SA have little to fear if they do not have a history of addiction to other drugs.

Yes, it did. Actually, all social inhibitions were significantly reduced by it. The side effects proved too much though, one of the most damaging being a hundred pound weight gain which I finally shed this year after quitting Nardil in June 2004. Other unpleasant side effects were horrible breath, twitching bordering on convulsions while sleeping (I only barely noticed this, some other people who saw me sleeping pointed it out in concern), extreme somnolence, and impaired motor ability (I could barely walk around the block, and it wasn't just from the added weight.)

nasty i was only on it for about 4 months but i never got anything like that then again i only went up to 60. Sometimes the side effects just aint worth it especially ones that effect your energy levels and motivation
