Benzodiazepines and there effect on libido.

[Xfizzler]

Lethal Dose 7500mg??!  I find that hard to believe. How could anyone handle that much alp?  Do you have any sources for this?  Just curious, not to try it (please don't)! But to read it.  I know it's much more lethal when mixed with alcohol.  Well, I did find this which is off topic but interesting to know about alp.

"Similarly, the combination of Xanax and opiates has proven to be an increasing risk to health and life. One research study in the American Journal on Addictions demonstrated that 97.5 percent of alprazolam-related deaths involved another drug being taken at the same time, and that the second drug involved was predominantly an opiate of some kind – often, both the opiate and the Xanax were prescribed by a doctor."

Be safe mixing anything.. read read read.

XFizzler, if you can try a little THC (if available, there are so many forms now).  The lotions and oils can do wonders without giving you any psychoactive effects.  It's pretty interesting. "Vice" did a documentary on this called "cannasexuals" the instructor explains how it works (youtube)

Benzos are safe in so far as their LD50 is extremely high.  In other words, by themselves they are not lethal.  The reason they are considered "safe" by themselves is their biochemical mechanism, they can not activate the GABA receptor on their own.  They only make the receptor more active to your own neurotransmitters.  Its like releasing the brake on a car, it will go faster IF you push on the gas. 

Barbiturates, the old meds for anxiety/sleep/ext. can activate the GABA receptor by themselves, so they are more dangerous.  They are more like putting extra gas in the engine.   

But all bets are off when mixed with other stuff (opiates, alcohol, any central nervous system depressant).

Interesting... really appreciated this comment.
