It's so hard to tease out mental illness from addiction (the disease) at times. Everyone thinks they have the answer. Sometimes I wonder however...if addiction really is a disease meaning that eventually usage of substances with an addictive potential gives way to tolerance and in some cases craving for more...than wouldn't taking say xanax (or klonopin in my case) at a controlled stable dose make an addict (one with the disease of addiction) actually feel worse over time.
I wonder if I could ever get off of benzos whether my anxiety might actually get better? Any thoughts my friend?
