i was once of a slew of benzos (klonopin) and and an addiction (obviously)
Some people were surprised that I wanted off these things, because for an addict these were like gold.
I wanted out because they controled me and they really didnt work anymore. My dose had been increased to the point of stupid and the only way I could feel some relief from anxiety again was to up the dose even further.
But to what end?
Same goes with opiates, they start to control you and your life and then the quality of life you and i lead is poor.
Not to mention they kill too.
