In recovery and getting RX'd benzos?

[bagochina]

I know its almost unreal that I am doing this to myself, its sucks but it could be so much fucking worse. How are you doing burnout? You must be around 8 months?

even if it is a small minority (which i'm not convinced of) it's not worth the risk. i wonder if you even realize how bad things can get.

Well having been on 4-6mg's of clonazepam a day for 5 years i know how important it is to not run out. The only time ive run out is when i was about half way across the country from my doctor and had to go to the damn hospital and all they gave me where 10 lousy pills . I made them stretch almost 2 weeks and went 3 days without taking any. I got off lucky that i didnt have a seizure but the anxiety, panic attacks and sometimes outright terror (i had pnuemonia as well which was what i was scared of actually) made me feel fucked up to say the least.

I have also watched people go through withdrawals from alprazolam and diazepam so yes i do know how bad it can get. I also know a few people who love valium, temazepam, xanax and the rest and eat them like candy. The result is often not pretty to say the least.

Everyone knows that long term benzo use isn't recommended, but at the same time alot of people forget that that's the point of talking to yur psychiatrist about it. They may want to arrange a pickup schedulle or something, even if it isn't every day, if a benzo is a great help. I've been on a weekly pickup, only by my mum of 15mg diazepam per day for months now. If I was living on my own it would be a daily pickup though since I have no self control.
