I have an addiction to Benzodiazepines, I am off them completely now (2 years) but the withdrawals were hell and it changed me as I didn't care about anything but getting my fix at the time. I could only function if I popped a pill and I thought I couldn't live without them.

@SW-User Benzo withdrawal is worse than heroin withdrawal. Benzos and alcohol are actually the only drugs you can die from, because the withdrawals are so bad. How'd you manage to get off?

@Tatsumi I had to have medical help, and I had to detox my whole body. It was a slow process I didn't stop cold turkey I had to be weened off

@Tatsumi Truly is and I feel doctors need to be more cautious using these meds it's too easy to become addicted

@SW-User They really do. I think they just do if for the Big Pharma money. I'm a firm believer that there's little that can't be solved with therapy. Psychology over psychiatry.
