No, I mean BL is here to help everyone, I guess...It just seems to me that you have a lot of people trying to dispense advice without the experience to back it up....
I've been mildly addicted to benzos, but never used high doses for years on end...when I stopped, I had some psychological symptoms and rebound sleeplessness and anxiety, but it wasn't that bad.
That doesn't mean I'm gonna go into a benzo WD thread and tell somebody whose been doing 8mgs of xanax daily for ten years that, "when you stop, other than a little sleeplessness and anxiety, you'll be fine!"..
Even though, I probably could tell you a good Benzo taper that you could try, that I learned about it by reading all the other Benzo WD posts on BL, but I'd let somebody whose actually been through it post about it first!!
Not to minimize anybody's opiate habits, or be a snob here....Sure doing 200 mgs of oxy a day for a few months is definitely a lot, and could cause significant WDs, there's worse habits...
the other thing is, once you've been through it a bunch of times, it gets easier to re-addict yourself to opiates....If I did 60 mgs of Oxy for 1 week at this point, I'd go through some pretty bad withdrawal because I've already been physically addicted so many times...but for someone not physically addicted, a week or probably even a month of daily pill use is not gonna give you full blown opiate withdrawals when you stop...
Being dope sick is not cool at all, its a nasty and disgusting state to find yourself in!
