Is there a tipping point as to how much you can take and quit without experiencing withdrawal effects? I'd think it would affect everyone individually, but it would be interesting if there was a safe amount of time.
- thebigspacefuck 9y agoIt depends on the benzo I think. Klonopin and Xanax have shorter half lifes so you would need to take them more consistently for a longer period of time to get addicted, but they may be more psychologically addictive since they drop off faster. I took an insane amount of Valium (longer half life) and blacked out for two weeks but didn't have any physical withdrawals at the end of it that I noticed. I took 6mg of Xanax once and had an acute anxiety/panic attack coming down from them. Also, people I knew taking Xanax for anxiety took a dose of 0.25 mg which was laughable to me as someone who abused it. I don't really understand how you could get addicted to that dosage or have serious withdrawals from it.
