I kicked benzos after years at high doses back in 08. Took me months of twitches , small seize movements , and all sorts of fucked shit. Prostate swole up and had to piss ever 15 mins. I'd say I didn't feel somewhat normal till the 8th month. Never ever get strung on benzos. I'd rather die than do that again.
Kicked IV opiates in 2012 with no rehab in a dope spot with junky roommates. I can rember thinking my leg was breaking from the rods and screws and fake pain from detoxing. Really bad for two weeks and bummed junkie feeling for two months.
The IV opiate detox was more physically hurting and extremely uncomfortable feeling. Sucks but doable. Benzos detox is fucking crazy man. Basically a really bad mindfuck from a mental and neurologically debillating disease that goes away. Some self induced bad brain candy. Thought I was dying when I cut my dose in half....lol good times
