In reply to why does alcohol work better than benzos for me?, posted by frillyknickers on November 12, 2008, at 9:37:08
Why is it frustrating? I mean what's wrong with a couple of drinks to help one relax. Just imagine for one year you had 2-3 glasses of wine a day, then stopped abruptly. Compare this to taking a Valium a day for one year then stop abruptly.
Some months ago I gave up drinking a bottle of wine a day of a multi-year period, nothing, absolutely no craving or withdrawal. Then last week I( stupidly) took a 10mg Chlorazepate tab. (60hr half life) 5 days later I'm still pestered by typical benzo withdrawal symptoms. Benzodiazepines suck, and suck big time.
Invest in a nice bottle of Bordeaux my dear,
ŕ votre santé!
