Hello all.

I’m a total idiot.

I just started having 4 30mg once a day with my last glass of wine to sleep better when a friend gave me a box.

Can anyone let me know if they think I’ll have the full lovely four week experience? Or will it be shorter as it hasn’t been years?

Been on them about 4 months. I didn’t even enjoy the stuff much.

The withdrawal is really fucking nasty even for a newby taking very little like me.

Gave up 4 days ago and haven’t slept a wink. If I start to fall asleep a massive wave of fear slides over me and I have a panic attack and gasp for air for ten seconds. I timed on my phone and this is happening every two minutes through the night.

I’m now sitting in my car (upright gives me less panic attacks) between 12am and daylight to ignore the nighttime.

Best of luck to everyone. What a dark dark thing.

Cocaine is a synch to get off by comparison.
