Prescribed Drug addiction
I was aware of having drug addition problems in my family and also I had already alcohol addiction when I was copying. I was telling in my late medical provided that I didn’t want to take benzodiazepines but she thought that I wasn’t an alcoholic and I am overreacting, 4 years later I am still struggling with benzodiazepines addiction and when I should take under specific circumstances I am experiencing intrusive thoughts expecting the time that I could get the next dosage, and this is the point that I should raise it to my doctor to stop the medication.
So in times of severe distress I should use benzodiazepines and then I am experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms such as fever, tremors, nightmares, heightened irritability and anxiety. And all of these for no reason , since I warned my previous psychiatrist that I don’t want to take these medication except for urgent situations, she didn’t hear me and now I have severe addiction and it is hard. Harder than alcohol since I had to take this medication when needed.

Hello 🙂
When I came off my medication it was harder then alcohol. The withdrawls were hard I almost thought I needed rehab. I was stuck in my bed for a month. The different emotions and intrusive thoughts were so hard on me. I really felt defeated and like I couldn't do it. I did learn to crawl out. I found that therapy, meditation , grounding, beach, hiking, all helped a lot. I had to re train my brain add new hobbies and routine. Found local support groups to vent at.
You aren't alone in you're healing journey and wanted to send you tons of strength and puffer glimmer
