re: Anyone take benzodiazepines?

Benzos are THE worst possible pill you can take. Even as directed by your doctor. I have first hand knowledge of that nightmare. I still crave the fricking things to this day. Its Scary shite my friend. And yes you can drink on them it just intensifies the effect of both the xanax and alcohol.
I lost my business, my house and land my 16 yr Marriage to just name a little bit of what happened. I've done a ton of other drugs and alot of them. THE only drug that grabbed me by my balls when I tried to quit was benzos. There pure evil 100% My story is very long and I didn't go in thinking I would become an addict in the process. I trusted my doctor and thought I was to strong minded of a person. Coke and xtc and everything else that I got tired of, no problem.
Over time it's a bad deal no matter if you take them as prescribed. 30 to 45 days of pure hell when I finally stopped falling of the wagon, thinking I could take the shite again bc I had it under control. Nope can't do it.
I ended up Overdosing after taking a bunch of xanax and didn't even know a person had given me a methadone. Ended up dying and spending 30 days in the hospital. Horror story to say the least.
The day I got out I went to the pain Dr.
My mom took the things as prescribed and when she saw what they had done to me, she stopped and everyday she called me crying and asked when it would get better. The withdrawals! Panic attacks that I've never had that made you feel like you were gonna die and shite.
Nightmare after Nightmare. Cold sweats, Hot flashes. And that doesn't even begin to explain how horrible that shite was.
Benzos and Alcohol are the only thing that can kill you if you quit cold turkey. Beware my friend.
I had done a shite ton of oxy 80s etc. And the withdrawal from that shite don't hold a candle to benzos. Better hope you never run out or whatever.
