That's exactly what I'm worried about. I didn't know anything about addiction and all of that until I had my first seizure when I forgot where I put my bottle. I had a grand mal seizure. I had already been on them at an increasing dosage for a year by then. Now I've been on them for almost 5 years now and apparently a very high dosage. I didn't even know I was on a high dose until I went to the hospital and I was confused and mad at why the doctor only would give me a .5mg every 6 hours as needed when I normally take 2mg, 3-4 times a day when I need it. Anxiety doesn't wait. Sometimes I have to take them 3 hours later but then I can go 10 without it the next sometimes. It's all random and mainly triggered easily. Cutting me down to 25% of my dosage and then putting a time restriction on it made me really upset. That's when I really started reading and finding out about how it's highly abused and that's why. Part of me hates my doctor for continuously upping my dosage and then giving me a 2 months notice that she's closing her practice and moving to another state.
