Hope you don’t think I’m trying to be funny here MrsRobinson but I posted this somewhere yesterday and am wondering why I hadn’t posted it here. Funny both papers became obvious at the same time.

I now look at this much differently.
No worries though as everything has its own function in this world.

I have been on KPin since I was in high school and I am 24 years old now. I will say, it is very easily to become dependent on it – not addicted. There has never been a time when I craved them or felt as though if I didn’t get one in the next 5 minutes I was going to murder everyone at work. Not at all, in fact it’s a sad fact that my body now relies on them so much. I have to take them for anxiety relief and they still provide the same effect as they did when I first started. They don’t make me drowsy, they make it easier for me to handle anxiety from outside situations. I rely on it and, I’m not ashamed to admit that, it works for me. I have seen plenty of articles where people have complained about it and I will say it’s a bitch to get off of if you ever plan to. The withdrawals are worse than heroin according to Steven Tyler. I don’t doubt it – I remember accidentally taking more than I should have once one month and I had to go 3 days without it. It was pure and absolute HELL. I was literally hallucinating the shadow man, couldn’t sleep, biting the skin around my fingers, scratching my neck…I looked like I was off crack for a week. When the prescript was finally filled, it was such a relief. I don’t get high off of them, no way. But I just need it to function. Call that pathetic and an addiction but it’s dependence, not addiction.
Never personally had a problem with benzos, or much of a liking tbh, but I know several people currently on tapers from various RC benzos. They can be really nasty things if abused.
