Benzodiazapines

Hi world. Welcome back to the real world. Benzodiazepines are a class of drugs designed to relieve anxiety and anxiety attacks. Anxiety disorder/chronic severe depression, that's my diagnosis. I was pretty young when I discovered that alcohol works great for anxiety and so the natural tendency would be to use alcohol to relieve anxiety. This is a common problem among alcoholics and addicts of all types. A lot of us aren't really alcoholics and drug addicts at all. We are just people with a mental disorder who've discovered a chemical that offers relief. The problem here is a simple one and the solution is even simpler; however, the paradoxical nature of this whole thing is phenomenal. Once a person gets labelled as having a history of abusing alcohol or drugs, the medical protocol is to never prescribe that person any medication that might have addictive properties. This makes absolutely no sense to anyone with an IQ above 90. If on the other hand, you don't have a history of abusing drugs and alcohol ( I don't understand why society wants to separate alcohol from the drug classification) there is absolutely no problem getting medication to help you with anxiety and or anxiety attacks. I fact doctors are more than willing to prescribe these drugs to someone who either hasn't admitted to drug abuse or just hasn't had the opportunity to discover the medicinal efficacy of street drugs when it comes to anxiety. That leaves the "drug abuser" in a very difficult situation to which there are few solutions, other than to continue to seek relief soliciting illegal street drugs and risking some fairly serious consequences. Like dirty drugs, characters of questionable moral ethics, dangerous situations of the life threatening variety, and the police and prison. All because of medical protocol for denying medication to the people who need it most. Funny part of this whole equation is you would think that a doctor would be intelligent enough to recognise the damage being done to the person whom they deny medication. I actually had one dumb ass write me a prescription for AA meetings? Very fucking funny.
