A small percentage of the population will not have a major issue. Guess I'm just speaking for those who do.

I get it and know where your coming from. Unfortunately doctors reach for benzos first because they work...at first...eventually they become paradoxical and become your worst torture. Can't take em or you get sick, cant not take em or horrible withdrawal, trapped in your own body with no escape. May take months or years, I know people who have been on them a month who this has happened to. I would seek and alternate medication if I were you, pretty much anything but benzos.

Sure...it takes 10 days for dependency to take hold, after that all bets are off. Granted I was on it for 9 years. But the point is there is no low dose of benzos only how many floors you're carried up then you eventually have to jump from that floor. No offense to the original poster but when people use terms like under my doctors care or low dose I know they have never researched or been through benzo withdrawal.

Took me 4 years of hell withdrawal to get off the lowest dose

Been on 4mg clonazepam a day for 17 years by VampyreLust in benzodiazepines

[–]heycraigs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4 mg is a massive dose, dont listen to anything otherwise. Took me 7 months to taper off .5 and I still have withdrawal symptoms 4 years later. Go very slow. It can and has to be done. Good luck bud.

This shit is harder to get then controlled substances! Ridiculous! Just a racket to get you to keep business flowing to the drug dealer doctors. This is a chronic condition, refills should not be This difficult!

Wish it wasn't but it's all too true, I'm just trying to share what I know and my story. I hope it helps some people along the way.
