REPORT

I'm a 56 year old female. I started taking benzos when I was 15 and stopped. I started taking benzos again at 21. I was addicted to them for nearly 35 years. It took me a long time to get off them. I doctor shopped. The withdrawals are shockingly worse than any other drug. I'm glad people found it hard to get benzodiazepines these days as you can die from the withdrawals. The list concerning benzos is long and all bad. It's worse than methadone only you don't have to pick it up three times a week like methadone.

Hello, Robert! How are you?

I'm sorry, but this website does not prescribe nor sell any medications or products, it is an information only website.

You might be creating the problem yourself, if you're seeing doctors and asking for benzos. They have the tendency to be habit forming and are often abused, so most doctors will view that as being drug seeking behavior and just won't see you or will refuse to prescribe them.

Normally, the doctor expects to make the diagnosis and suggest what you should try as a treatment, if one is appropriate.

Additionally, benzodiazepines do not help with depression, since they are essentially downers, they can actually make it worse.

What type of doctors have you been consulting?
