Anyone used benzos long term?

yes.

i aboid them too now.

take gabbapentin for it.

I was on Klonopin for a few years. The pdoc took me off them when I told him I gave a couple to a girl who was going through opiate withdrawals. It was a little bit of trouble coming off them, but the doctor weaned me off them gradually. Sometimes I feel like I would like to get on a nice, strong benzo again, so I could just drift through the day.
