I got myself in to a similar mess with lorazepam. I took it for three years for insomnia, but never considered myself dependent on it. I thought I could quit it at any time, but I didn't want to because I liked sleeping seven or eight hours every night. Then the lorazepam turned on me and started causing inter-dose withdrawal, so I decided to quit cold turkey. Forty-eight hours later, I was climbing the walls. I was shocked and deeply ashamed. How could this have happened to me? I never intended to become dependent on benzos. All I wanted was a good night's sleep. Then it occurred to me that probably no one has ever set out to become dependent on a drug. It just happens sometimes. So try not to be too hard on yourself.
