> I am following alot of threads about the fear of addiction to benzos even in a very controlled setting. I take klonopin as prescribed, do not go above the dose and have not felt a need to. But cigs are (to me) are the MOST addictive drug of all. I'm down to 3 a day but it kills me that I seem so weakwilled that I have a tremendous fear of giving them up! I cannot give them up where as I can give up klonopin without feeling like I'm totally lost! I think that nicotine has to be the worst addiction. How many people do you hear about that die in the THOUSANDS from accurately prescribed benzos-never! (not from what I've read). Anyway, is anyone else suffering from the withdrawals of cigs and if so I'd like to know what worked for you! THanks,Tiss

kudos to you for getting down to 3 a day. i agree that cigarettes are the most addictive and deadly drug of all. no pain-killer or benzo will cause the damage that cigarettes do. they are deadly in ways that prescribed meds cannot touch. yet they are still legal....

Thanks Dr. Bob, I need all the encouragement I can get to kick this! I've smoke 1 cigarette today but I'm going to have to cold turkey it. If I can go 23 hours and 55 minutes without a cig then surely I can go 24 hours. I'm going to use the 12 step thinking. I'm also training for a 1/2 marathon and smoking and running do not fit! I quit for 18 years and stupidly started again 'dabbling' in it about 18 months ago. What a dumb move. Good luck to anybody trying to quit! Tiss
