According to J. They are sending the white X-Vs now, As he had never tried any Vs before, can only compare them with lorezepam, temazepam and nitrazepam. According to J. The white v are a lil stronger than the lorezepam (5mg) and temazepam (which J has no effects from it). Nitrazepam wa J's favourite as they made him feel very good and sedated. But it's a shame that it's hard to find. J. Also reported he needed 5 x 10 mg v to get similar feeling he gets from 2.5 mg of nitrazepam. He is just glad he didn't get bunk [censored]. I find this interesting
to be more precise, peculiar, very peculiar. The following is used for the purposes of medical DETOX, thus doesnt represent subjective effects nor even duration of action; nevertheless, the benzodiazepine equivalencies for the above mentioned drugs are: 10 diazepam (Valium) = 1mg lorazepam (Ativan) = 20mg temazepam (Restoril) = 10mg nitrazepam (Mogadon). So J. found 10mg of Valium to be stronger than 5mg of lorazepam? I have to wonder from where he procured the lorazepam, because IME 5mg of lorazepam is in fact *about* 50mg of diazepam, albeit with the former having a slightly quicker onset and definitively shorter duration of action. Both temazepam and nitrazepam are hypnotic benzodiazepines and rank in my top 3-5 favorite benzos, with the hypnotic midazolam being in there as well. I dont know why one would get no effects from temazepam unless it was either bogus or one took a low dose- Ive always bought blistered 30mg pills. As for having to take 50mg of diazepam to get the same effects as a mere 2.5mg of nitrazepam
all I can say is, wow. I find the subjective effects of 10mg nitrazepam to be similar to taking 10-15mg of diazepam plus 10-15mg of the non-benzodiazepine hypnotic zolpidem (Ambien), were Ambien to last longer. Im glad to hear theyre sending the white, Nicholas Piramal Valium Ive always received from BM & its affiliates. Ive received said product in blisters from another IOP and the effects were identical. For that matter, I cant tell the difference between the white Indian ones and the generics Ive had filled in the US. Please note, Im not trying in anyway to critique someone elses subjective experience with pharmaceuticals as each person has a unique biochemistry. I simply find it interesting
if I were able to take only 2.5mg of nitrazepam and get the effects of 50mg of diazepam, I would be VERY happy  BTW, I have a rather high benzo tolerance that Ive been working diligently to lower over the last 9 months; however, I can still discern between different benzos and if a benzos is bogus/weak/what have you. Im scripted both clonazepam and lorazepam each month in the US. From IOPs, the nitrazepam and temazepam Ive ordered has always been in original blisters.

Are all of you using EMS or just registered mail. EMS begs for seizure attention. Ive heard this on these boards many, many times and Im not disputing it; however, IME its based more on port of entry than EMS per se. For example, the West Coast seems to have a difficult time getting things through, period. I lived in Seattle for five years; this was back when I used to smoke, and I ordered cigarettes from Sweden and Russia. I had several LLs and even more no shows that Im fairly confident were in fact confiscated- on one of my suppliers websites, they posted the actual Times article where thousands of cartoons of their cigarettes had been confiscated!  My IOP experience has been on the East Coast
4 years and no LLs, knock on wood. I order from a number of different places, but with BM and its affiliates specifically, Ive placed and received 10 orders- theyve arrived in a total of about 20 parcels, probably more, as they began sending stuff in multiple packages a while back, even when the order wasnt that large. Point being, only 1 of my 10 orders has not been EMS, which means about 17+ EMS packages. For me, EMS reaches me in about 10 days from time of order (usually its them taking 3-4 business days to get it in the mail, they used to send my orders in 1 or 2 days tops) whereas the 3 non EMS packages Ive received took a little over 3 weeks. Not suggesting everyone use EMS, but its working for me thus far- again, knock on wood BTW, SE US to be more exact.

I find this interesting
to be more precise, peculiar, very peculiar.
So J. found 10mg of Valium to be stronger than 5mg of lorazepam? I have to wonder from where he procured the lorazepam.
This is J talking here.I got the lorezepam from a friend who worked at the dentist. He had a whole lot of them, like a backpack full of them. Apparently he took them off the dentist office. They were yellow tiny tablets,football shape if I remember correctly. I can't remember the dosage. He gave me 4 and I gave 2 to my mate cause he really wants em. On a random bored night with nothing better to do, I decided to give the lorezepam a try after reading them on the net. Took 1, not much happen, then half an hour later I decided to head to the local liquor store for a beer. 30 mins later I took another one and drank some beer. I seriously did not notice much effects of it, it might had made my a little more drunk. It was also my first time so I didn't know what to expect. But I went to sleep pretty easily that night and woke up feeling normal the next day. On the other hand, my friend took both and also had a tiny bit of beer. he slept for 26 hours. Both temazepam and nitrazepam are hypnotic benzodiazepines and rank in my top 3-5 favorite benzos, with the hypnotic midazolam being in there as well. I dont know why one would get no effects from temazepam unless it was either bogus or one took a low dose- Ive always bought blistered 30mg pills.
I don't know why, temazepam is so weak that it feels like a placebo for me, I need at least 30mg to feel slightly anxious, didn't help with my insomnia at all. They are not bogus, I got the script from local pharmacy (well unless the pharm is dodgy). They are branded Nomison. I wonder why they market tamezepam as a hynotic and sleep aid, its the major metabolite of diazepam, which is anxiolytic and are prescribed for day time use as well.. I find it a bit ironic. lol As for having to take 50mg of diazepam to get the same effects as a mere 2.5mg of nitrazepam
all I can say is, wow. I find the subjective effects of 10mg nitrazepam to be similar to taking 10-15mg of diazepam plus 10-15mg of the non-benzodiazepine hypnotic zolpidem (Ambien), were Ambien to last longer.
This is actually my first experience with diazepam. My point being in that post was that the BM ones are weak... But I do know that this chemical peak slowly and have a few active secondary metabolites. So it would take a while to feel the full effects. But 90% of the diazepam metabolites are temazepam, may be this why they are weak for me? I can't justify my claim as I have no other to compare with. As Nitrazepam have no secondary active metaolite, so it's hit and boom! This is probably why a small dosage of nitrazepam felt more potent in a short time. Nevertheless, this med did a bloody good job with my anxiety and panic attacks problem (I don't feel like everyone around me hates me or constantly judging me anymore). I can work normally, happily, more proactively and more productive. Its amazing how much it can help. I feel so normal again :P Another note on the Benzo equivalency chart. Its doesnt apply to everyone, as different people have different metabolism and gene variation. Expression level/Mutation in the benzo/gaba receptors might have changed the affinity of the binding of the chemical. Liver enzymes also plays an important role, food you eat, genetic, gene expression also affects the bioavailability of the substance. A popular instance I can think of is that opiate addicts preload themselve with white grape fruit juice to up-regulate the enzymes complex which is responsible to convert the opiates they are taking into morphine, so that they get a more intense high. I was not trying imply anything quality of BM's product, it was just a personal experience to share. In fact, their Kpin is bloody awesome. Top notch stuff, I had 1/4 of a 2mg, I felt like I've take 2-3 diazepam. -Love. J.
