Try and stop you get sick. Need more... Its the same thing.

Doctors and the mental health system just use the word dependency when they cause an addiction cause it sounds better.

You know that.

No making stuff up or playing dumb please.

Addiction is when your, after cessation, have a psychological desire to go back to the drug after all effects of the drug are gone. 98%+ of people who get off benzos don't ever, do that (see Heather Ashton manual) unless they're rapid tapered, which is just what you told me to do, which can cause post acute withdrawal symptoms for years. You're kind of an idiot and can excuse yourself from my post as I don't think you're qualified to have input on it, or anyone else with benzo dependency for that matter as you may have just given them advice that would kill them.

Thanks.
