@F'Loki Benzodiazepines? Worse then Opiodes? But you could control Coke and meth? I don't really get what your saying here? Doesn't make sense to me that you could control something like Coke and meth some of the hardest and most addictive drugs and then say Benzos are horrible, elaborate a slight bit please? I'd imagine Xanax isn't that bad since you can't overdose on it alone unless you swallow a whole bottle
Sure I can elaborate:
Read into opiates and benzos especially. But this is it in a nutshell:
Benzos are probably the most addictive substances on the planet: I have been through heroin and oxy withdrawals cold turkey and it's a piece of cake to benzo withdrawal. Really. Benzo withdrawal you cannot cold turkey from even moderately high doses because they can and do kill you in the process from seizures and possible strokes. I got hooked from lifelong anxiety/insomnia and self-medicating with the nasty as shit RC benzos and street benzos...I have been struggling with failed tapering from benzos for 10 months and just got off heroin and oxy 2 weeks ago.
Yeah I could control coke and meth: Coke I never really found addictive. Definitely more-ish, but not addictive. Meth was harder to control but I never got hooked (but could've). I can't really explain how I could control my use pretty well with those two substances; I know studies have shown they are some of the most addictive susbtances, but it's vitally important you remember that is very subjective. Go figure. It's different for everyone. My wife can't control her coke use very well at all. So there you go.
So I thought "Hey I can control any drug I take!" - hahahahha
Opiates and Benzos gave me relief from my anxiety and insomnia problems - and heroin and oxy and opiates in general are just a different ballgame than stims - they take away all physical pain, give you a euphoria that sucks you into their arms and take away all mental pain - your deepest problems don't matter when you are on heroin (or speedballing) or other opiates (even high dose dihydrocodeine), you want to be that way all the time and ignore life. At least that's how it is for me and a lot of people at rehab I have spoken to........They suck you in so subtly you will be having withdrawals and getting stuck in that cycle before you know it.
Ask anyone that has been through both benzo WDS and opiate WDs and I guarantee benzos will come out on top every single time as being hardest to kick.
People talk about the fentanyl epidemic - but really there is a benzo epidemic that is sweeping across the West and it's just as bad if not worse. Xanax for me is just as bad as fentanyl. Yeah you are hard pressed to OD on any benzo including Xanax but the addiction is worse than any opiate you could name.
But of course, do what you gotta do. I didn't listen to this either and ended paying for it big time.
