Benzo tolerance withdrawal or not? And what to do?

Posted by Tiina on April 30, 2006, at 3:11:13

Hi!
I got addicted to benzos last summer (only a low dose though) and have been trying to get off of them ever since. Right now I'm doing so bad that I haven't been able to cut my dose and I've been at the same dose for about two months. Does anyone know how soon tolerance withdrawal normally sets in?
I can't really explain how I feel that makes me think I might be in tolerance withdrawal. I've woken up earlier than usual a couple of times and with a feeling that I need to take something mind-numbing and with a big need to binge eat. I binge normally also but it feels different this time.
I just don't know what to do cause I don't want to go up on my dose cause it takes me so long to bring it back down. But I can't take this either if it's gonna be like this now. Does anyone know if cutting your dose when you're REALLY not doing good will make things worse?
Sorry if this makes no sense. I just don't know what to do.
