> Hi Lou
>
> Thank you for your post and your honesty. Getting off these short acting drugs is extremely hsrd. You are not alone here.. the withdrawls are terrorfying and life threatening. You did nothing wrong as you know. The GP that prescribed those types of medications to you has a duty of care, thats the problem, most GPs don't want to know that an addiction has set in. If you are still suffering from substance addiction.. speak to your GP. If he/she doesn't listen - Report on the basis of lack of DUTY of CARE. If you have kicked this awful ordeal by yourself you should be knighted.

> Get on the phone to a good friend and talk about it, it will pass... within 72 hours the crucial stage of addiction will slowly disappear.. Never go back.. pass on your knowledge to others, help others, stop youngest from forming these life changing nightmares and remember everytime we take a tablet we are putting money into the pockets of the companies.

> If you really want to stop - Tell all the doctors you visit (Dr Shopping) to NOT prescribe those drugs. You may need to slowly reduce the intake as sudden stopping of any medication can be exremely life threatening. Your life can return to what it once was.

> Thanks again Lou.... you're not alone and that is important and whats more you want change and that is the hardest step. Getting off the drug is a brease.
