Whose gone through etiz withdrawal?

Benzos really helped me to get over my anxiety issues when I was younger, and I found it easy enough to wean myself off them when I got addicted.
I did do all sorts of stupid shit on them, like driving wasted, getting really cranky and keying cars, shoplifting, etc. but still all in all a positive experience.
I think alcohol is worse, but then again alcohol has a whole social aspect - for instance you can't drink a pint of valium with a friend in the pub, or go out to a nightclub where you do shots of xanax all night, as awesome as that would be.
It's great having some around in case you need to check out or chill for a while.

Back when I was using, I had a cocktail of drugs I had to take every morning, because I was a hopeless, addicted queer.
340MG of Methadone, 700mg carisoprodol (Soma), 1mg alprazolam. I typically took this with a sip of the leftover Steel Reserve 211 beer can on my nightstand. Once I wasn't flip-flopping and rolling with WD, I got up and snorted another 1mg of alprazolam. This is when I would also shoot up a mix of heroin and crack cocaine in some white vinegar. After rushing hard and perhaps puking, I'd move on to the kitchen to make a Mudslide and drink that to finally become my comfortable, normal self. It was more fucked up than it sounds.
When I went to jail, I withdrew from heroin, methadone, alprazolam, alcohol, and soma (metabolizes into meprobromate, a barbiturate). They held me in a medical ward for two weeks and I begged and screamed for something to help the symptoms. All they gave me was fucking Ibuprofen and Pepto-Bismol, initially. I told them this wasn't going to do shit, and they initially told me that's all I was going to get, so make use of it.
I puked, on purpose, on the windows of my medical cell and used my hands to smear it all over the window so they couldn't see in. I of course puked all on the floor and I shit my county-issued pants, too. Left them discarded in the corner. When the officers finally took notice, I was given 14 days of solitary confinement for puking on the windows, but was given phenobarbitol with belladonna alkaloids for the remainder of my withdrawal. This helped immensely. I didn't even give a shit that I was in solitary, as I spent my days curled in the fetal position and shivering anyway. The phenobarbitol helped me sleep a lot of it away.
All in all, I would say that the addition of the benzos is what made both my wife and I even crazier than we were with the crack, heroin, soma, and booze. It made us do absolutely retarded shit. Benzos are fucked up, man.

Of all the drugs I've tried, I would say benzos are the most useful for self-destructive decision making.

Damn, I don't do any of that shit on etiz though. I don't have the desire to take large doses or do self destructive or really dangerous shit when I'm high on it (unless I've already been in a self destructive mood before I took the benzos). It just makes me less motivated to do well in school and with exercising and stuff. I might do things like that on xanax though, idk, I don't really take it often. I took some flualprazolam a while back but that just made me talkative and probably say some dumb things.
