I slowly feel myself becoming addicted to benzos..

Kinda scared because at first it was to sleep and now I like taking them to get faded. Its one of the drugs I swore I would never develop a habit with and now its becoming a habit.
Ugh I hope it doesnt become a big problem. Bad thing is im prescribed them, and when I combine it with my flexeril I get sloppy and ignorant. Im starting to get worried a little.
Ive been a wreck lately guys and over the next few weeks I may need some emotional support from some of my friends on here.
gnight guys.

we'll always be here for you man. just stay strong and do what you must do. even if that means telling your psyche about it, or flushing your stash. cold turkey it if you aren't in seizure w/d territory. or just gradually step off and don't use as much. goodluck whatever you decide to do.

Dude I get a tolerance to benzos so quick. I used to get 90 bars a month. At first 1 bar and I'm gone..2 weeks later I can take 3 and not get high. The withdrawals are weird and wicked if your habit is big enough.

Yeah agreed. If you see a problem starting, STOP.
I watched a close friend go from taking benzos with a legitimate reason to him making up reasons to take them 90% of the time.
Shit's gross flush them and slap your doctor for prescribing you such garbage.

Lose the prescription or get it dialed back. I could never see myself getting addicted to benzos. They're a pretty lame class of drug. Only way I would get addicted is if I had a huge supply and no reason not to use them. But I doubt I'd ever go out of my way to get more

Hey Demonic, maybe this story will wean you off of the benzos. Especially kpin...
One of my friends was taking klonopin for about 2 full years. It was going perfectly fine; his anxiety lessened and he was a much better person around all of us. However, he soon got addicted. The tolerance builds up and he would pop 2/3/4 pills a day instead of his prescribed 1/day.
Last April, he had a meltdown. He took about 5 times the normal dose and completely blacked out. He remembers nothing. But this is what happened...
We were at a party and he started pouring drinks on every girl that walked by. I mean full beers on their heads, just cruel stuff. And coming from this kid it was amazing! He's the nicest, most energetic kid ever! And he was just being a dick. Uncontrolled dick. Sooner or later when everyone noticed he was doing this, me and my friends went up to talk to him to see what was going on. Completely irresponsive. Nothing.
When the cops came to break up the party, he punched one in the face and got tazered to the ground. Brought to a holding cell and bailed out only when his psychiatrist explained the situation. No jail time, but lots of time in court and over $2000 in penalties.
Obviously this is an extreme, but be careful man. Best of luck; have faith in yourself.

The cop took care of that But it really is a serious matter. These medications can do awful things to the mind/mentality when abused. Demonic, I hope you can get over this addiction.

Dude cancel your prescription and get off of it.
You have to just do it, I had a xanny script and I was getting sucked into the addiction hole but I told my self I wasnt going to let that happen, I canceled my script and stopped taking them all together.

When I find myself becoming too dependent on them I quickly taper (half my dose daily) until I'm at 0.5-1mg daily (for xanax) and then cold-turkey from there. I usually take the milligram dose twice before going cold-turkey but thats just what works best for me.
Also, once I was first dependent on them it made it much easier to become dependent again. Just my experience.
Good luck

I'm not sure when I became addicted to benzodiazepines but it happened.All I can say is if you're taking say 4mg a day dial it back to 2mg a day then 1mg a day after the second week.Whatever it is you do, DO NOT go cold turkey it can kill you

Do what you have to do to get off them.
A benzo addiction is no fuckin' joke. I have watched a loved one go through one. He's much better now, thankfully, although he's not quite the same person he was before.
