So I have been going through benzo withdrawal for the last 3 weeks. I was institutionalized and taken off a high dose of xanax and valium cold turkey. Ever since then I have been miserable, not sleeping, and having all sorts of other symptoms. It doesnt seem to be getting much better.
Im going to go to treatment in 2 days, and I have to be around friends and family these next 2 days. I found a few xanax and was thinking about taking some, so I can pretend to be normal and not feel so wretched. I know that telling someone to take benzos who has had addiction problems would be frowned upon, but in my case it would only be for 2 days, after that i will be in rehab for a while, so there is no way I would be able to use more benzos. So restarting the addiction process is not a huge concern rn.
My question is, how bad would it be for my withdrawal process to take a SMALL DOSE of xanax for 1 or 2 days? I know it might prolong it a little bit, but Would I be back to day 1 if I do it? Would I feel worse after I stop? Would it start my withdrawal process over again? Is this just another in a long series of terrible ideas ive had recently?
Im not going to lie, odds are I will probably end up doing it. But im going to wait until I get some feedback here. Benzo withdrawal is still a new, mysterious, and frightening thing for me. I guess I want to know what sort of consequences to expect...
