We talk about it...

[OldBoy]

But I'm not sure that the life-saving properties of this community are always fully appreciated.

I came here about three weeks ago desperate and panicked after a seizure resulting from my Doctor cutting me "cold turkey" off of 3mg alp per day...No insurance, very little income (tough to find work when your GAD and panic attacks are constant and you have the worry of another seizure to come), almost certain I was weeks from losing everything.

Due to the kindness of several members of the community (you know who you are), I had people to talk to when I was at my lowest.  Due to the quality vendors here, I've managed to stockpile enough diaz (yes, diaz...I'll never touch a fast acting, fast clearing benz@ like alp again) to last me a year.

I calmed down to "normal" subsequently, and just yesterday landed a new job.  Things are going to be OK.

Without you all, though, I may very well have become homeless and un-medicated - Perhaps dead from an even more severe seizure.

Thank you all so much.  And keep doing exactly what you're doing...If you saved my life, think of the countless others you are improving / saving.

Thank you.  Thank you.  I can't say it enough times.

I am so glad that we have served our purpose: to help those genuinely in need.

So glad you are doing better. Well done on the job. Its gonna be a good year for you I pray.

Hi OldBoy..

I am so glad that things seem to be getting better for you. Kudo's to you for sticking with diazapam. A good friend of mine also lost his source when his doctor passed away after having him on 4mg Alp's a day. He could not find another doctor that would give him a legit script fast enough and he ended up in the ER with seizures. We were roommates at the time and I saw first hand the withdrawals leading up to a major seizure.

The people on this forum here are the best. I consider this Forum like a second family to me. Once you get to know the members most of the members here actually really care about you and I and every other member.

We all watch out for each other.

I'll tell you this forum better to talk here and get a no BS assessment here than going to ANY Psychiatrist I have ever been too.


I am glad things are looking up for you OldBoy

Peace

Thank you Charon - For all the time you spend on this forum, and for the PM chats we had.  You really are doing God's work.

Thank you Furyan, among many others (Rafterman and fishfarmer at the helm), you kept hope alive when it seemed there was none to be had.  I won't forget it.

Yes OB your are def correct, there are quite few select people that go above and beyond when some are in need of help and ear to listen, i was in similar position where i would ended up in really bad wds and possibly worse when didnt account for delays keeping tabs on my own usage few months back, none the less few people did really came trough above and beyond to help me and guide in any way they could of course no names, as they know who they are.

that's why i try to contribute whenever i can, i know a lot of new people come in daily but treat this place as its some kind open market and dont follow simple steps nor try to integrate into community which takes a while at first.Since some dont realize that such places are becoming extinct , and following simple steps not to spread info that isnt necessary or breaking 20 rules which arent hard to follow think its ok, and get mad because they ignore efforts for such community to exist and how much trust and time have to pass to build it to some troll to try and break it, id imagine its hard work for every mod to deal with such issues, just because some come from groups where they had no rules and were happy to cause chaos.

+1000, cmdline.  Meds were what I needed to get back on track, but the membership here, in a perfectly normal vetting process, forced me to wait a week or two before selecting a vendor.  That's invaluable...It forces one to engage with the community, which has a huge knowledge base about meds, and learn what path one should take, and enough time to ensure the vendor one selects is a professional.

I too look for opportunities to help whenever I have free time - And I keep my mouth shut when I don't know what I'm talking about.  Anyone who has been helped by this community should pay it forward a hundredfold.

As for the mods, I'm in awe of them.  I don't know how they keep it up from day to day - Between them, Charon, and the senior / pioneer members this is the best managed forum I've ever belonged to.

Good to see you my friend - Hope all is well.

[Rafterman]

I am so glad to hear this, O. I could not be happier for you. Congratulations on the new job, the new outlook, on finding the right med, on completing your stockpile, on everything! Way to go, man!  RM
