Exactly. Benzodiazepines are not addictive if taken as a doctor prescribed. The way to get hooked on them is like any other drug; you have to exceed the recommended dosage and build up a tolerance so that in order to get the effect, you must take twice as much, twice as much and twice that level.

thats the about the lowest dose you can take you would have to them over a long period of time and even then i doubt it that dose is a joke

Alright, I figured, thanks guys. I was just worried because I have a low tolerance, but 1-1.5mg does me well sometimes. ;)

Is it really *that* bad to drink while taking this stuff?

no and I encourage you to do so as often as possible

Bullshit. My doc years ago built me up to 8mg klonopin a day for anxiety and 2mg xanax as needed for panic attacks, along with 1mg Ativan. I have to take benzos now just so I wont have seizures and go through withdrawals that will most likely kill me in the end. So dont tell me they are only addictive if you abuse them or if you dont listen to your doctor, dick.


And breathrough, it is not that big of deal to drink on benzos(Although I honestly dont recommend it) ASLONG as you limit yourself. No more then a beer or two or expect to blackout and make a fool out of yourself. Just be careful when mixing different downers though, it will kill you before you even know what hit you.

Not yet, but you should probably take a break and learn to use them in better moderation. Benzo withdrawals can be pretty severe, casuing seizures and what not.

8mg's of klonopin with xanax and activan a day? I'm not surprised you got addicted, you have a shitty doctor. Also, clarifying that your doctor is an idiot, curing a benzo addiction with another active benzo dosage is pure stupid. I was saying that competent doctors who prescribe a reasonable dose, eg. up to 3mg's a day; you shouldn't have a problem with addiction. But, if the doctor gives you an abusive dosage, you're abusing the drug, therefore, yes, you will get hooked.
