@ellerchim Yes, I felt lucky to find someone willing to help me without judgment. I had to gear up courage to ask b/c I was embarrassed and even ashamed to be addicted. I was shocked to learn HOW addictive benzos are and how little time it takes to get hooked. All of the prescribing MDs should lose their licenses, IMO. So much for "do no harm." That was so rude and unprofessional of your pharmacist to accuse you like that. I hope you took your business elsewhere.
I am off of clonezapam and you will get off of benzodiazepines, too. It's hard and it does take a long time, but I am living proof that it can be done. < 3

Everything you just said is so true. Never in my life have I been addicted to anything. My high was running and working out. This poison took that away from me for months. Not only was this embarrassing and humiliating trying to find someone to prescribe these for me or help because you can’t stop cold turkey and the way they treat you. I switched pharmacies immediately after that. The doctor that originally prescribed these for me after my husband passed I’ve been going to for 25 years never said a word about these being addictive. When I tried to get help from him because I was shaking pretty bad at that time and lost so much weight. He just shrugged his shoulders and put out his hand making it shake like this was some kind of joke. . They should lose her license and not be able to practice anymore when they do this to people. So happy for you that you are off. Looking so forward to that day.
