Oh Dear, cold turkey benzodiazepine WD.

I know that you probably are already dealing with your shit... but if you HAPPEN to read this. GO TO A HOSPITAL, RIGHT FUCKING NOW. Look up delerium tremens.
 
Go to ANY emergency room. Tell them you're addicted to benzos and you took a 2 week supply in 1 day. Tell them you have no more and that you've gone X hours without a benzo. Tell them you are w/d. they will immediately give you a bed and start taking appropriate steps to ensure your safety.

A heroin addict walks in during w/d...they'll get some zofran and IV fluids. they're not gonna dope them up. it's not life threatening.
A benzo addict walks in during w/d...they're probably gonna get an immediate shot of diazepam or some other benzo. because your life depends on it. You'll get the chance to talk to a doctor who will work out a taper plan with you. Seek medical attention NOW
 
Nah bro there all jelly of ya. Just go rob some dealers....just kidding...bad joke at that.

Yeah I HOPE your in a ER chilling right now. I posted this before but it seemed to magically dissapear like alot of my posts...why DID you run from the ER to begin with? Luckly even tho BENZO WD is SERIOUS...it is valium. A fairly low potency benzo. So a ER should be able to help ya. Just be honest. Your going to be judged, looked down apon, and probably treated like a scumbag. But they can't turn you away. Unless it's in NT. Where they now have "blue ballers" (dead serious) from the state trying to convince people they DONT need emergency help.
 
Okay I didn't read all the answers here so maybe this has already been said, but a few weeks ago I quite benzos cold turkey after being highly addicted for months and I ended up in the hospital after multiple seizures. FIND A WAY TO GET MORE. Seriously go to a hospital and tell them the situation. When I was in they gave me more so I could taper off safely...really I'm sure you don't want to go check yourself in and all but you have to, trust me because I've just been through it, you need to get help immediately.
 
Go to a clinic, hospital, anywhere, and speak to a doctor - and tell them you've been taking lots of benzos, and suddenly have none. Even if they suspect you've been an idiot and eaten all your last ones in one night, they're pretty obligated to help you out.

I have also experienced cold turkey benzo withdrawal and I'm glad I had only been on them two months. Don't wait, get help.
 
I really dont like how people post this stuff here and then seem to vanish off the face of the earth. Just kind of gives me a bad feeling. OP....I hope you have found your way to the ER and are sleeping safely under the care of professionals......

I agree wholeheartedly. I really don't understand people not taking benzo withdrawal more seriously...shit can kill you :X
 
... Today a doctor didn't take benzo withdrawal seriously. Said "you've been taking these too long, no more for you". I've been convulsing, crying for no reason, and all kinds of shit. Thankfully a friend helped me out. I should file a report about this doctor, though, for serious malpractice.
 
dont go cold turkey, strongly advise not to for your health. intensity varies on what benzo, how much, how long taken. i did cold turkey in jail coming off of 3 xanax bars a day, i didnt know it was addictive, it hit me like bricks. didnt know why i couldnt sleep. went 6 days. started to dream vividly, dreams came to life in a horror type way and i freaked and believed everything it hought bad. it felt real. if i wasnt on suicide watch i prolly wulda comitted suicide to avoid ppl wanting me dead in a horrific killing style. and seizures too..its no joke, be safe
