I'll make this short. I'm an addict and have been for the last 23 years of my life. I cannot just do a little amount. I started buying some clonazepam from these people I met that were customers that came into my store and quickly got to share what drugs they've taken and all. Well I had been at my job for almost three years. I met them 2 months before I quit. I would at first just occasionally take 2mg at night and poof, sleepy time. Then on my last day of work I met them at 10am to buy some and proceed to work.

[Erowid Note: Driving while intoxicated, tripping, or extremely sleep deprived is dangerous and irresponsible because it endangers other people. Don't do it!]
Well I took 2 during the morning and was nodding out and forgetting things all day that my boss knew something was wrong and kept yelling at me to wakeup. At first I didn't give a shit, but I finnally got rude and said I quit and am not coming back. I probably took another 4 mg on the way home and don't remember the 20mile drive through the city at all. Dumb I know. But I woulda never gotten in the car like that if I knew what I was doing.

Well over the next year I was unemployed but stareted selling my things and buying buttloads of clonazepam. I would finish off 30mg in 2 days and be blacked out for 4 days from that excess. I would wake outta my blackout with sores from falling all the hell over the place. I would eat food like a pig and spill it everywhere. When a family member mouthed off to me I'd get aggressive instead of calmly speak about the problem. Well I was the problem and couldn't figure it out because I was blacked out 70% of the time. Great long acting benzo but better to use for sleep not during the day. I really didn't mean it to get so bad but I am again an addict and I just didn't care in fact I kinda enjoyed the break from reality. Unfortunately reality still went on for those that loved and cared about me and that was wrong to do I coulda od'ed or choked on some food or driven my car or walked into a street without looking with my dog or anything really. It totally is like Ambien in large doses minus the hallucinations but to get aggressive on a benzo means I probably was taking way too much. Glad to be alive and over it.
