I do abuse it sometimes when I'm going through bad depression. I'll take it when I'm not anxious when I just want to numb myself and escape. I'll take more than prescribe if I'm in that frame of mind and don't care. I'm supposed to take 3 and I'll take 5 sometimes and if I really don't give a fuck sometimes it's a handful.

I haven't been taking it this last month though because I OD'd shortly after getting the last prescription filled. I took about 80 plus a few packs of sleeping pills. I don't wanna go back to the Dr. too early or else they'll think I'm addicted or I'll have to tell them I tried to kill myself with it which creates a potential liability issue for them or something.

I've done okay with out it though. Was fairly anxious at school this week but not unbearably, I guess. I will need to get more before I have to an oral presentation though because I have a huge fear of public speaking and I must look so pathetic panicing in front of everyone.

I hate getting tolerant to benzo's but maybe I'd be addicted if I didn't get tolerant so quickly.

I am a Valium taker and get around 50 a month but have never been hooked on it. I've been taking it for three years and if I take it too often it just stops working so I've always taken it occasionally.

You get 50 a month, you take more than you are supposed to when you feel "depression", you have OD'd on your medication.

And you are not hooked to valium why?

I wish people who are clearly addicted to their medication would just come clean about it. It is not going to make you look bad (you are prescribed to it for a reason, not because you are a junkie), I think it is more ridiculous when people try to fight psychological addiction. Denial only makes the addiction grow more.

He may abuse it, but not be addicted.

I mean, if he can literally stop at any point in time, not suffer from withdraw to bad, and doesnt feel physically and mentally reliant, then I wouldnt say he is addicted.

Now me, I KNOW Im physically and mentally reliant on my Ativan. I am not happy if I dont have it. I know I wont be happy if I dont have it. If I miss a dose, I get really depressed, shaky, etc. Then on top of all of that, I do abuse it.

I dont know. Maybe he is addicted to it to an extent.

I just have never experienced any craving for Valium and I most days I don't take it. I haven't taken it in a month I haven't had any withdrawal symptoms like worsened anxiety/insomnia/whatever. In fact I've never had withdrawal symptoms from it.

It's not like I'm claiming to have taken it every day for a long time and stopped without incident. I haven't taken it every day for any long periods.. Ever

I understand how the drug could be very addictive in fact sometimes I think it's strange I haven't gotten addicted to it but because of tolerance and side-effects (it slows my mental and physical performance as well as making me feel a bit sick in the stomach) I've just never taken it with that kind of regularity.
