sucks to be addicted to diazepam

How are you doing since the above post?

I no where your coming from as I have used Diazapam and Xanax for the past 5 years had times of abstinence but found withdrawal so bad even in a detox unit twice. They taper you down then you stay for 2 days free from them.. They think after that ohh you'll be fine. Bullshit (excuse language} Valium has a very long half life, which means it stays in your body from 50-100 hours so if your taking that much you will have lot f build up. on the positive your at least giving your body a break in between. Also depends on metabolisim etc every person is different. The amount you are taking is a lot unfortunately the docs don't tell you it stops working after a while therefore is very addictive. I had a binge on Valium and Xanax ended up in hospital in a drug induced delirium, worst thing ever. Like on really bad LSD i'd imagine. I was clean for 4 months but could not function at all, no eating, sleeping horrible mental thoughts, skin crawling, so I ended up back on them, I've turned to natural detox which is helping my body to eliminate these drugs from your actual cells and fat which is where it's stored I find im not taking nearly as much as I was. In the long run you just end up like a zombie. I would suggest you do go to a clinic, as self tapering is hard if you have hold of them, it is a disease, although if you want to try, if you live with someone trust worthy give the drugs to them and let them dish it out. Prob is, so many people go there say their on huge amounts so they can start detox on huge amounts and that spoils it for genuine people like you, just be honest they will no if your bad as they monitor you. Usually they give you how ever much you need four times a day cutting down one 5mg each day. Been through it so many times, I wish you luck on your journey as im still on mine. Take care & Good Luck

It is so wrong doctors do this, they have no idea what hell they put us in.

Make sure you don't just stop as you can have seizures etc.

Hi i had/have a smiler things happen to me i was put on 15mg of diaz and 10 mg of tmaz,

I have been put on a reduction program, now suffer from depersonalization due to bad doctor care, Well i just changed doctor i have panic attacks and pass out, Witch ids turning into acrophobia, I have just run out of inhalers and diaz today, Woke up having panic attacks and passing out, im down to 9mg of diaz, Rang my new doctors and said im too ill to come in he said you will not have any prescription for inhalers or diaz your a waste of time why did you come to this surgery, so im screwed, i dont no what to do, He shouted at me im a waste of time my partner got on the phone he even called her one too, she said she will go and get it he said no, 0_o.

Im scxeard now he called me a waste of time, and i have no inhaler of tablets im left on my own, its been hard this past 3 months coming off i put all i could into it and cut down alot, I cant breather properly nothing seems real, I was on-top at the start im week the doctors have beaten me down its been 6 years i have been on them wish i never started no one told me how bad they was ,

I am so sorry o hear what yr going thru, & that yr doc has treated you is appauling. You r asking for help & doing the right thing. They have no idea how bad withdrawal is. By the way congratulations on how far you have come. I no things are bad but u should be proud of yourself. Often the last part is hardest, I totally understand, I've been 3-4 months free but could not function at all, so sick like you serve depression, anxiety, aggraphobia etc. I felt I had two options, to die or get more (im sure u no what I mean). I'm now still taking about 4mg xanax & 10-20mg valium a day sometimes less. With the natural caps a friend has put together for me it's at least taking the benzos out of system & not building up. I've told him the truth & said what ever, dont be to hard on yr self. I'll get back to u, running low on battery. U can get phenergan from chemist over counter 25mg ones they can help with sleeping. Hope u can get a doc that will understand

Thinking of u, I really care even though we dont no each other

Talk soon. Try phenergan
