benzo great ! but acted like some drunk

[Clown]

yesterday night I used some high dose benzos ( like 8 pills single time) , i feeled absoluty great almost no social anxiety almost no generalized anxiety, my friends thought I had used some drugs because I sounded like half drunk. But who cares finally for the first time in years I feeled somewhat normal !!!

I never want to quit benzos again in my life.

I told my docter that just 1 pill did nothing to me, so now she prescribed citalopram (which is aanti-depressant) ( I hope she won't stop my benzos)
Does someone have experience with this anti-depressant because I readed it has the same effect like a placebo.

Be careful. You're playing with fire. Benzos are SUPER addictive. I'm sure your doctor would flip if you told her you took 8 pills at a single time.

I know it feels great... especially the first few times... but it's a pathway to hell if you keep doing what you did.

Please be open and upfront with your doctor.

Yea I man I know exactly how you feel about the benzos. I was addicted to them for a while and I needed them because they made me feel normal. I would pop so many of them just to get the same high I got the first time it did nothing but cause problems for me and it affected my relationships with family and freinds. I finally got myself to stop taking them but there is still days I want them.If I were you I would give them up as soon as possible.

those things sound very scary. I just watched a program about how heroin addicts on methadone will get Benzos and take them w/ the methadone and the high is almost better than heroin according to these junkies they interviewed. I would stop taking those ASAP.

A friend of mine went to the hospital after his prescription ran out because he was feeling sick and woozy - they took away his drivers license and he had to pay a $600 fine for 'driving under the influence'.
A $600 fine for driving himself to the hospital!
And it was because they were benzos that he was so ****ed up.

If I were you, I'd take this like a cautionary tale; because they may make you feel better now but you'll be in even more pain- physically and financially and way more embarrassed later on.

I have my own littly regime , I want to take benzos like 3x times a week on special moments and have a pauze every single 3 weeks with 1 week not taking benzos.
And in the mean time I hope my citalopram (antidepressant) will work.

Ok what for options do i have left then ??? everyone knows that therapy helps only a little bit and it wil take 10+ years for you see some great changes and some don't even see that.

So I don't have many options left beside the benzos and the anti-depressant atleast I can do the things again and enjoy thing and don't make a fool of my self everyday. It really has kicked my butt, im going start school again, work , going out again with friends , never have dreamed of that doing again without intense anxiety and become depressed home of the stupid things I did that night.

OH MY GOD!!!! This is the worst thing you can possibly do!!!!!!!! I have said it before and I will say it again. There are no magic pills!!!!! 8 pills to make you be able to go out!!!! At this rate, not only are you going to make yourself addicted to them, and have a hellish time trying to be normal without them, you are going to make them completely ineffective in a matter of months. Please listen to some of us who have gone down this road!!! Look up benzo addiction on the internet if you have to. I am very concerned for you!!

Calling people junkies is very offensive.. it's no different than calling someone any other derogitory name... just because someone is addicted to a drug doesn't make them a lesser person.. and it certainly doesn't make it ok to call them demeaning names.. everyone has their problems, obesity, internet addictions. video game addictions, religious addictions.. you shouldnt judge others and label them if you dont want the same thing done to you... have compassion, not judgement..

That was my 4th time trying it so still not addicted.
But I can see I become addicted to it , what options do I have left ??? im trying anti-depressants hopfeully that will somehow work and therapy doens't work. and now with the benzos I finally feel ''me'' I rather jump of a bridge then go back to retared anxiety state and everyone remembers me as the retard kid
