Individuals who are prescribed extremely high dosages of potent Benzodiazepines, like Xanax and Klonopin, typically are Military Veterans suffering from extreme PTSD. The Benzo is typically mixed and moderated by other drugs as well, including SSRI's and Anti-Psychotics.

These specific cases deal with individuals who don't have any intention of ever getting off the drugs, and will likely stay on them for the rest of their lifetime.

An example though.... A Military Veteran who is being legally prescribed 6-10 mg per day of Xanax, or especially Klonopin, is a dead man walking if he ever even attempts to quit.

With the Klonopin, you'll get around a 4 day grace period because of its extensive half-life/full-life, but after that, you're FINISHED. With Xanax, the withdrawals will start to kick in well before the 22.4 hour full life, which doesn't give you long until your nightmare starts.

Don't underestimate this class of drugs, it's precisely as dangerous as Opioids, just in a different way.

Original Message Yes, it's fun and games until as soon as you run out, and then you get to experience something you never imagined.

It should be stated before I start this little thread, that a GLP member was complaining about his Psychiatrist treating him like a drug addict over .5 mg of Xanax, and wanting to switch him over to non-controlled anti-psychotic, which is a considerably low dosage in comparison to what I'm going to address.

First of all, I'm going to use some terminology that I've used in my '9/11 was a 100% inside job' threads, like parabolic trajectory. Start getting used to physics nomenclature when I make a thread.

Xanax on a chemical level essentially makes a very quick upward parabolic trajectory with a Y-Max that can't even be considered a plateau, considering how quickly the general effects reach the X axis again, which is the reason people who use it are inclined to take more and more of it to obtain the Y-Max effect. (Chasing the dragon)

However, it's the metabolic and other long term physiological changes that occur which is what will cause you the problems, but they only set in once you're off the drug.

Klonopin on the other hand, graphically speaking does not make this same Parabolic trajectory, it follows the square root function, plateaus, and just keeps going and going.

The General half-life of Xanax is about 11.2 hours, meaning it has a full life of 22.4 hours, which is a joke in comparison to Klonopin.

Klonopin has a Half-life of 40 hours, and a full life of 80 hours before it truly starts to break down, and the life threatening withdrawals start.

Both these drugs kill you in the same way, and the withdrawal symptoms are exactly the same.

1. It starts with Insomia and a lack of appetite

2. Severe aches and pains all over your body

3.Hearing voices and feeling death on the Horizon.

and

4. After about 2 1/2 weeks of not being able to sleep or eat, you end up dying of a grand mal seizure.

This class of drugs is very interesting, because it kills you once you're off them, not when you're on them.
