Previously I did two 3mg pills colored in beautiful pink. Not much really. Second time I took 4x3mg and that was already something. I was dizzy, everything seemed fun, like mj without buzz in your head ( that sorta trembling feeling). I enjoyed George Carlins HBO show throughoutly and later had a funny evening.

Tolerance
Build-up
develops over 1–4 weeks of daily use; hypnotic tolerance faster than anxiolytic tolerance
Reset
weeks to months depending on half-life and duration of use; taper recommended

Acute tolerance: develops within a single session — the reset numbers above apply after sustained heavy use, not after one binge. Within-session tachyphylaxis usually resets largely overnight.
Clinical and user reports indicate tolerance develops more rapidly to sedative/hypnotic and anticonvulsant effects than to anxiolysis. Exact rates vary widely; the above is a heuristic depiction to discourage frequent redosing and consecutive-day use. After multi‑week use, allow several weeks off for meaningful tolerance reduction before resuming. Data quality is limited and should not substitute for clinical guidance.

Let me first explain my use of recreational drugs in the past. I've done other benzodiazepines before, such as valium, ativan, xanax, klonopin, so my experience was not because of lack of benzodiazepine experience. I've driven, been to work, sat in classes at school without any negative situations surfacing ever.
Substance (Brand Name): Lexotan Active Ingredients: Bromazepam Category: Benzodiazepine Dose: 3mg Intake: Oral Form: Pill/Tablet Bodyweight: 75kg Set: I am in normal mindset - neither uplifted nor depressive. The intake is done about 2 hours after waking up (8 hours sleep) without any food consumption.
I've had my share of tense moments, witnessing a murder (by my best friend, no less)..and the aftermath. So naturally I'm normally always on the edge of a pool of fear with clouds of frustration swirling overhead.
I am male in my early twenties living in a small country in south eastern Europe. I have been always interested in psychoactive drugs but despite this my list of psychoactive drugs that I have done so far is modest consisting of alcohol, caffeine, nicotin and over the counter painkillers containing paracetamol and code...
This was the first I tried any benzo. I was not taking any medications at the time of the experience. It was Friday night, I was bored and had some 6mg bromazepam pills lying around. I took half a pill and half an hour later a full pill. I might have taken another half, but I can't remember now.
Bromazepam Addiction After a stupid alcohol+buds+wild lettuce party, I found myself unable to come down (or felt like) the day after, and this unplesant experience leaded me to what my doctor diagnotized as 'acute anxiety'. He gave me bromazepam for 10 days, saying that is not addictive...
Generalized anxiety disorder had almost driven me to the point of suicide. I could no longer stand waking up with panic attacks and being freaked out by things that normal people could so easily handle. I'd been on paxil and urbanol...they didn't really work apart from making me feel sedated.
