The story: Back when I was 15, I was put on both Klonopin AND Xanax by two different docs for an anxiety disorder I never even had (I ended up being diagnosed with BPD, hence the anxiety issues) They told me to take dosage X every day, at X time, so I did as I was told. And I was never told to stop taking them, so I didn’t. But I had no idea that a daily dose of these types of pills could become so severely addictive, so when I eventually tried to get off them, everything turned into a nightmare. I have since found a doc I have stuck with for 7 years and have tried SO many times with her help to wean myself off these terrible pills as slow as possible but because I have BPD, the emotional side effects always became too intense for me to bear alone. She has now suggested that I may need inpatient detox, so that I would have supervised care while trying to get off these benzos, so my question may sound very silly but, would a drug rehab center even admit me if I don’t abuse the pills?
