| indo, the reason Dr.'s get so freaked about Benzos is the fact that they are sooooo addictive and also that for many, many people who start out on .25, soon that's not enough and they either take two or start asking for .50 and the game is on.
I don't think Kittens meant anything other than to help. Not trying to speak for her or break any anonynomity, but her and I are both recovering addicts with pills being our DOC. My DOC was opiate pain pills (as I believe her's also) and I started out just taking one pill for pain. Fast forward many years later and near the end of my active addiction, I had to take 20, yes 20 of these pills in order to just get up and take a shower and get ready for the day. The one "dose" went from 1 pill to 20. I was using on average 70 - 80 pills a day! That's how this addiction cycle works.
No one on here wants to see you get into the mess with pills that we did. Please find other ways to help you with your insomnia other than Benzos. There are other medications, if you get them from YOUR doctor, that help with insomnia that aren't addictive.
God Bless,
Judy
