TDS Is the withdrawal from drugs generally stronger than the euphoria from trhem?

[cowardescent]

I think this is true in particularly with benzos, opiates and alcohol. I've taken all of these for a month seperately non-stop and felt like utter shit. Benzos gave me agitation but luckily no seizures. Taking opiates (hydrocodone) left me feeling suicidal that I couldn't get out of bed and that lasted for two to three months. Alcohol gave me the worst physical symptoms though. Had panic attacks and though I was having heart problems.

The pain of that is enough to keep me from using those drugs except in limited circumstances.

I’m not sure it’s actually stronger, but it certainly feels worse.

Yeah that's kind of a tough question for me. Depends on the substance too I guess as well. Benzo's, alcohol, and opiates have the worst withdrawal of all drugs, so it can get brutal. I guess it depends on how much fun you had before it all comes crashing down.
