This is criminal. I'm not sure if this is the norm on the UK. In the US, we're only talking about a finite amount of pills with a taper schedule.

Even if you "cold turkeyed" before, withdrawals will progressively get worse with each relapse. Withdrawals can be dangerous - spiked blood pressure, heart racing, hallucinations, seizures....

Hang in there. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
