[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 711671, member: 1967"] My daughter used anxiety and A.D.D so she could get pills. She convinced multiple doctors, therapists, and even addiction specialists that she needed benzos to cope with the anxiety. She admits it now. She also said that rebound anxiety is even worse when you first stop using. She does have depression and mild anxiety issues and continues to take medications but they are non-narcotics which proves it is possible to deal with anxiety without benzos. She recently told me that she couldn't believe that she went to the lengths of having her gallbladder removed just to get the pain medications. She went to a doctor and said she was having stomach pains to get the pain medications and the doctor suggested she had a gallbladder problem and decided to do surgery. She went along with the idea because she knew she could get the medications she wanted. She told me that her addiction had caused her to lose one of her organs. Luckily, it is not one she needs to lead a long life. It just goes to show how far an addict will go to get their beloved pain medications and benzos. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
