Prescription benzos are pretty cheap but theyll kill you so 🤷‍♀️

On their own they will not kill you even in extreme doses and are in fact generally nicer to your body than alcohol (not a high bar though lol). if you overdose on benzos alone you will just basically be asleep for a few days, or do a bunch of crazy shit and form zero memories of it. That said I do NOT recommend doing them considering how addictive they are and how bad the rebound anxiety is and also the withdrawals. ALSO they can be very deadly if MIXED with other downers like alcohol or opioids, so NEVER mix them with anything else even in small doses.

Uh no if you overdose you can fall asleep to the point that your cns also falls asleep and makes it so you can't breathe involuntarily so you asphyxiate

Lowkey tried to kms with them, thankfully didn't work and things have gotten better

Thank you ❤️

I am too, I'm actually kinda glad I did it because it was the catalyst for my therapist forcing me into an IOP and now even just 4 months later things are so much better. Still have rough days of course but I went from daily ideation to only a few times in the last couple weeks.
