I have not really heard of Benzo's around here. Xanax is a big club drug in Orlando area. Xanax/Alcohol blackouts are actually very common if you want to google and see some stories. It wasn't really tough to quit. I don't think I was ever really addicted to the drug...only the feeling. I don't recall any withdraws but it still crosses my mind (esp when its being offered). My girlfriend told me a story of this kid she went to high school around here that had a xanax blackout (at least thats the excuse) and killed his GF. I will ask her what his name was later tonight. The blackouts are one of the main reason I quit and I thank the heavens I never injured anyone being such a moron.
Xanax is a Benzo (Benzodiazepine).. as is Klonopin, Valium, Ativan..
I don't wanna take up too much space or go too off topic here but I think I get what you mean.. You weren't an "addict" in the traditional sense (gotta have it every day type thing) you took 'em went ya went out partying.. kinda like people take X or acid? (aaahhh, Acid- now there's a goood drug! *soft sigh*)
I used to get blackouts with Ambien. That's some bad stuff- it didn't make me tired, so I'd pop it with a few beers after my son and hubby went to bed and do the strangest stuff.. I'd clean the house, cook food, mow the friggin' lawn (LOL- I'm an idiot!) and G0d only know what I got into on-line. In the morning I'd have no memory of doing any of it.. often thanking my husband for doing whatever it was.
LOL- I won't even go into the kind of teenager I was!
Anyway, enough hijacking of this thread, sorry ya'll!
