It was about 3 weeks before I stopped hurting all over from Benz withdrawal.

Phew thats really rough, I feel for ya man. I hate to see people in benzo withdrawal. Glad to see that you got through it ok though. :thumbsup:

Wow, you're a complete and utter dick head. congratulations.

for telling the truth? you people are insane if this makes someone a complete and utter dickhead. there are tons of things that could have been said and would have sounded a lot worse. what would you call those people? uber total complete dickheads?

the OP said in the next post he doesnt care because it keeps him motivated, so obviously he agrees it wasnt a wise choice. you must be a drug addict or were in the past to get that offended by the blatant truth that drugs are stupid and people who do them are even more stupid.
I hope you insult your dad for taking his heart medication.
I mean, hey, "drugs are stupid and people who do them are even more stupid."
I'm going to assume that you never drink caffeinated beverages or alcohol and don't take tylenol or asprin.
Ass.:roll:

I also like how your avoided my response to your original statement, slick move buddy. :thumbsup:

good try on the heart medicine, but you knew i was talking about illegal and illicit drugs. what a stupid arguement :roll:

so you think taking 40mg more than what was prescribed isnt a big deal? that is interesting...you try to put heart medication in the same group as illegal drug use but cant seem to wrap your brain around the fact that taking 33% more than what was advised is not ok. you must have been a drug addict to be that stupid.

to answer your question, no i actually do not drink caffeine and i only take tylenol when the pain is more than just a little bit intense. please tell me how that is similar to someone taking heroin or snorting cocaine. illegal drugs != pain medication or heart medication. only a complete and total moron would consider that arguement in the middle of a discussion about illegal drug use. i am actually shocked at the total lack of intelligence in that post.

dug777, you must be a drug user too. congrats :thumbsup: yeah i feel like a moral warrior since i dont break the law...or im just not stupid and have the foresight to see the consquences of doing drugs. please show me where i made it clear i was not rooting for the OP to feel better. i said i dont have sympathy for him because the pain was probably caused by his illegal use of the drug, but that doesnt mean i hope he feels like sh!t forever and never gets past the withdrawal. like tweak, nice try at a piss poor arguement.

The fact remains that whether or not he was taking 120mg (legally) or 160mg (illegally) for such an extended period of time, he would be withdrawaling basically the same. All you said is pretty much moot considering you don't know squat about the issue.


edit: OP: Awesome to hear. Must be extremely difficult, but I'm sure you know that its better in the long run. Has the nausea subsided by day 7 then? That is my worst part about WDs. I can deal with some of the other symptoms by constantly feeling ready to puke sure sucks.

Glad ot see you are doing better as well. I hope you can now not have pain and be able to go without getting addicted again. :) It can be tough! Good luck.
