Benzo effectiveness reduced because of other meds or crappy quality?

[MOHFLRSEA]

I've noticed the strength/effectiveness of the benzos I've taken recently are greatly diminished from what I am used to.

I wanted to get some opinions from others that may have the same experience and see if it's just crappy quality or something else.

My Dr. has me on good ol' phentermine to lose weight.  Another former member made a post that, in their opinion, these two things kind of work synergistically (is that a word?...anyways, with synergy).  They said the feeling of the benzo was slightly dumbed down, but still effective.  Their meds were more along the ADHD kind, not the weight loss kind but they're all still part of the same family right?

Well, I am also on the noopept.  I couldn't find anything concrete, using google, on whether that would have any kind of reaction with the benzos. 

So, I am wondering if anyone out there has any similar experience?   Otherwise, it's just a crappy brand/batch of benzos.

And just so you know, I've tried skipping the diet pill and the noopept but doing the benzo and still get the same result...basically nothing.


Anyone's expertise is greatly appreciated!

You should talk to your doctor.

Phentermine is an upper and is going to reduce how well benzos work. This is a speedball of sorts. Adding the noopept is only going to cause more altered effects.

I take modafininl for shift work disorder before work, and a heavy dose on benzos after to sleep and I have noticed the benzos don't work as well anymore.

One thing I gotta say is, tolerance to benzos sneaks up on you. one day 10mg of diazepam will knock you on your ass then a week later 2 or 3 barley relaxes you. 

You should talk to your doctor about the combination of the three, you may be fine and just need to adjust your benzo dose.

What dose/benzo are you using? how long? has it escalated in the last month or week?
