It can even kill you, causing seizures and such. No thank you.
Alcohol withdrawal can kill you too. If I drink today to treat the symptoms....Ill pry need 2 drinks....but I'll drink 10... and be at square one....if I need to take a benzo today...Ill pry only need 1....and I'll only take one... benzo withdrawal only occurs if you take them daily for a long time... just like drinking...
