Well jimi we could argue about addiction and dependence again but...

Maybe death would be preferable to heroin or meth amphetamine addiction in someone who is an addict. I know when I was addicted to meth at the end I would rather have been dead and might have been better off.

Taking benzo's as jimi is is not worse than death.

Like I said earlier I am taking .5 mg klonopin twice a day. Totally wiped out my anxiety and no increase....yet.....cross my fingers. And I am and recovering addict and i know the risks. The thing is nothing else they tried worked on my anxiety. If I had to live with the anxiety and paranoia it was causing I would probably whack myself, game over anyway. So I am taking the risk.

And SisterRags I would like to know all these meds that work so great for sleep. I think I know what they are but there are not a ton of them and some have real problems. Like Ambien and Lunesta which are a form of benzo and addictive and can have some very bizzare dangerous side effects. That doesn't leave many.
