I was put on a benzo medication a few weeks ago. It has really helped me
with my self-harming(cuttting) and my eating disorder..I still cut and
binge & purge..However, I do not do it as near as often as I did before being put
on this medication.

I have been reading several posts about benzo addiction..So, will I be trading
addictions for other addictions..I honestly didn't know that the medication
was a benzo...until after I already been taking it for a couple fo weeks.
Then reading about this being a benzo from one of the posts..

Is there a time that when is best to be on addictive medication for health
reasons? !or! Is best to never ever use such medications...

I hope someone can understand what I am saying..I have several
health problems..I know that I abuse my medications..However, my family
and I are much happier when I take them..When one has chronic pain
along with aniexty...It make you very cranky and difficult. So, people do
not want to be around you..
