UPDATE: GETTING A SCRIPT TODAY. THANK GODS. This was so fucking bad.

A Grindr date lifted my script but I'm not gonna go to the pigs over it which is the only way I can get it filled. Luckily I only have to wait 3 days (it's already been 4) to get more but I am. Losing. My. Mind. How do I deal with this? Stay asleep on benadryl (the poor man's Peterson method)? My dogs a seizure trained ESA and won't leave my side so I'm fucking spooked

    Imagining you at the hospital telling the doctors to go back to reddit because they told you drinking alcohol is bad.

      Do you have an issue with the other fucking poster suggesting nootropics??

      No? Weird that you're not jumping on them too

      Alcohol and benzos have a cross tolerance and effect the exact same receptors. Leave me alone now please.

              lol I'm going to put your fucking head in a toilet holy shit

              Booze and benzos work on the same receptors and ease each other's withdrawals. It's common fucking knowledge for anyone that's dealt with addiction to either.

              That's all I was suggesting.

              It's not a cure, it's not going to stop the addiction, it's just an actionable bandaid if you're in a predicament like the OP is.

              But, yeah, I get it you hate alcohol and blah blah blah blah blah blah.

                well i'm sorry i misunderstood the receptor thing. I've lived with alcoholics but i have never been an alcoholic. having lived with alcoholics I find it sus when people tell each other to use alcohol. Apologies.

                  It's fine, I didn't explain it well and I get pissed off when people get judgy about the booze and lack of medical care stuff.

                  I'm more sorry

                          Here's a source fwiw, I should have included this originally. It was not the kind of post to be lazy on and I appreciate being called out on it.

                          https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4606320

                          Benzodiazepines are cross-tolerant with alcohol and modulate anxiolysis by stimulating GABA-A receptors [24]. During withdrawal from one agent, the other may serve as a substitute. They are proven to reduce withdrawal severity and incidence of both seizures and delirium tremens (DT) [40–42].

                            Thanks for sharing! I genuinely was not educated about any of that, so I appreciate it. I'll try to be less stigmatic towards alcohol use in the future.
