I didn’t know you went through all that.

Handfuls of xanies throughout the day and at least a couple of anything-codone a day (I'd do more but I didn't have those in as high of a quantity as the benzos). Had multiple overdoses over the course of about a year and a half, I'm surprised that I survived that stage of my life.

sorry to hear that


handful of xanax sounds bad. i wonder if thats how itd end up for me. starting small with one then going up with more and more?

Unfortunately they are notoriously addictive. There are plenty of people on benzos that don't develop habits but it's a slippery slope. They might end up working great for you and it'll never be an issue. Who knows really.

Glad you made it to the other side, homie.

When you get a script you have to follow the rules of the prescription religiously

If you get 2mg a day don’t EVER take 3

you’ll still get addicted but if you allow yourself to develop a huge tolerance like that - whew - that does a number on your cognitive well-being

****ing hell mate. I knew it was bad but its hard to understand how bad when you haven't done it.

Alcohol withdrawals were bad for me but benzos sound much worse. I was pretty much physically OK after about two weeks.

Still addicted af but once you start breaking the rules you need to get help ASAP

I was on zopiclone which is not a benzo but its meant to work in the same way.

Was desperate for more once my prescription ended but they said no. For the best really. Great night's sleep though.

I'd definitely abuse benzos if I got prescribed them
