Here in my town,most doctors know of the dangerous long term use of benzos.
I fired the doctor that put me on and kept me on klonopin far past the point of addiction......When I asked for help getting off the stuff he said no...you'll just come back blubbering for more. What A stupid thing to say!
The drug stopped working and like millions of others I was only taking it to ward off acute withdrawals. It served no other purpose.
Tolerance is built up quickly with benzos and they do nothing except cause
big problems with addiction.
The next doctor I went to was blown away at the amount I was on and couldn't see a purpose for remaining on them. I started withdrawing from them shortly afterwards. It took me 1 1/2 years to taper off them.
It was pure hell, especially the first 60 days or so.
I'm not going to pass judgement on anybody that's on benzos.....that being said - Be very careful..benzos are highly addictive and there will come a point where they will stop working (the only way around that, is to increase the amount taken daily)( But to what end ?). Also be warned, the withdrawal is something you don't want.
Peace be with you friends. |
