The big problem with benzo addiction and subsequent withdrawal is that it can become protracted and there's no real way of telling if your body and mind will be susceptible to this. I was on a massive dose of Loraz££pam, which had to be tapered onto Clonaz££pam and then Diaz££pam. TBH, I was expecting Hell with the withdrawal and I'd terrified myself by reading the sort of thing that 'theview' was talking about whilst researching them too. I still subscribe to one benzo support forum tho and there are peeps on there that are titrating ridiculously small amounts, maybe breaking down 5mg Yellows or even smaller. Thing is, I can't tell them that they're not helping themselves by prolonging things because the mind is a powerful thing. Having experienced having to go sometime without a med that I need and being conscious of the fact that I haven't had it, it always seems a hundred times worse than if I just forget a dose, so I don't want to upset anyone and have them freaking out and maybe thinking themselves into a horrid withdrawal..
It still sickens me tho that there are a million or more people in the UK still with some sort of Benzo addiction which has been caused through trigger happy prescribing and this is never discussed ever. Nada mentioned by the media, health services, shitty CRI type places. Talk about a government hush-up. It disgusts me the most when state influence means that people are largely kept in the dark about situations and dependencies like this. Whenever I have told people that I have had a problem with benzodiz££pine dependence, they assume that Ive been buying them online and that this wouldn't have happened through a GP service, whatever! I used to drink on them too and I would go Spazz, I mean really nuts and no-one ever takes into account these tablets, it's all about the alcohol, the cops don't give a shit about why I've acted how I have. Ive seen others go Banana's on benzo's and alcohol too, this is such an explosive mixture.
Sadly, even on this forum, Benzo's are massively underestimated and sometimes peeps really don't understand the potential consequences of swallowing down a load of little blue fellas like they're smarties. I don't want to be mentioning it to peeps, especially on here tho because, understandably, it pisses them off. Whilst the government and the NHS could potentially be sued for destroying so many lives tho, people won't be made aware of just how nasty these tablets can be. Bring down the bastards!!
