Benzodiazepine addiction is rated as the second worst addict to alcohol and with good reason.You can go to benzoisland.com and talk with some of the people there.They are all either in recovery from benzo addiction or are looking for information on benzo addiction.If you're not into doing that then there is the Ashton Manual.Written by Dr. Ashton about benzodiazepine addiction and the best way to come off them.I'm not saying you're addict,I mention those just as a matter of info to you.
Are you under any kind of extra stress lately or having a bad time with your boyfriend.You see were I'm going here,is there annything going on that may be making you more anxious then normal.
Benzodiazepines were developed for short term use (2 weeks usually) and unfortunetly doctors just keep prescribing them.
Bendiazepine addiction is very difficult to recover from and the withdrawls can even kill you (siezures).
So be very carefull with this class of drug as it effects the GABBA receptors in your brain the same ones that alcohol works one.If you have ever been in a alcohol rehab the first thing they give the patients is
valium.
Anyway I hope that you aren't addicted and that you're just going through a rough time.Good luck to you.....Dave
