I abused benzos for years, I was dumb and took huge amounts not even knowing what I was doing to myself, now I’ve been tapering down for a while, and even now that I’m on a low dose I still have seizures if I go more than 24h without my dose.

I don’t like to make a diference between “soft” and “hard” drugs, but if I had to, I would say benzos are more on the hard side.

I see lots of people taking them like it is harmless (like I used to do).

Benzos can be a wonderful tool if you really need it and take it as prescribed, and for a short period of time.

If you want to have fun with them from time to time, go for it, if it’s really from time to time, just know that it’s very sneaky and you’ll easily find yourself using it daily so at least keep track from when you take it.

Don’t be like me and risk your life for it, I know lots of people like me take it because it makes them feel fine, without anxiety, just know that you can do lots of other things to help you with that.

If you’re responsible with them, that’s great, but if you have an addictive personality just think twice.

I’m tired of having to not forget to take them just so I don’t die.

Sorry, just venting
