Benzos are a shitty patch on a bad tire, imo. You get a tolerance that seems to have no upper limit, and after a few weeks you went from having the answer to your anxiety problem to having a drug nightmare, where you're constantly counting pills and making deals with yourself about how many you'll take and trying to figure out how to function all over again when you run out. Maybe I'm just a fuckin' junkie, but I wish I'd never been handed that prescription. Oh, and also, they like to just take them away for no discernible reason whenever the doctor decides you've had enough and *they* think its time for you to kick, so there's doctor shopping vs withdrawals to deal with. Fun.
