Is anyone else getting there Benzo scrips taken away or cut down a lot recently?

[D-izzy]

Hi Izzy,yes,they are addictive,check the leaflet out,don't stop them abruptly.

Side effects I have had are rashes,joint pain,stomach problems and possibly problems with my eyes/vision.

I put weight on at first but had lost it by end of the year,find eating difficult some days,constant feeling tired.

Am on the 30mg,am going to ask to come off them,you know when you don't feel well from something,I didn't need to look at the leaflet to know these are causing me to not feel well.

Thanks TommyGun. 

I had no idea, and I always read the leaflets! I've had some bad stomach probs and rashes too, so that might well explain them...

I think I will have to go re-read the info leaflet, and I'll have myself a proper look-see online...

And then take it up with my psyc!! How can she justify these if there addictive and still not script me my diazepam(which i cant leave the house without) when she knows full well I have already been addicted to diazepam for 8+ years!?! 

So just how on earth does that help, it just leaves it open for me to abuse my diazepam!? 

Luckily I don't...but still!!!
