Should I just give into benzodiazapine addiction?
Question by Changed And Loyal: Should I just give into benzodiazapine addiction?
I have been having withdrawal symptoms even three months after stopping cold turkey. I was only on 1.5 milligrams of Klonopin for four months. Would it just be easier to accept that these drugs are a part of me now and I need them to survive just like any other body part? I can’t take it anymore. The feelings of unreality, the tardive dyskenisia, and heart palpitations are going to kill me!
Do you think it would just be easier to give in? Just take them for the rest of my life? I am eighteen and I don’t want to be addicted to these forever. However I am starting to think I don’t have a choice. I am currently talking to a holistic addiction treatment woman who lives in Nevada and she’s thinkng about getting me to her. Someone please give me some advice.

I am in your same seat. I have something called Borderline Personality Disorder & I take several benzos. they are easily addictive & withdrawal can be fatal. Think about it. Either way I know how you feel. I think I have become addicted to Xanax & Oxazepam too. I wouldn’t start popping away though. It doesn’t do any1 any good & I am sure there are some people who want you around for a while. Talk to your Dr & see what you can do now b4 you’re 26 like me & STILL struggling.

I tried to get off klopin and could not do it.It was pure hell. My doc put me back on klopin he said I was addicated but lowered but it has helped my quality of life so it helps and I will keep taking them have been on klopin for to many years and it was dangerous when they tried to get me off them. I am okay now. I said never again will I go tru withdrawls like I did. Talk to your doctor and do it soon.
Best of luck.
