librium?

[907baby]

My doc gave me librium for the withdrawals.  it doesnt get me high or anything, just a little sluggish, so my question is it addictive?

If you look next to the user name on the right you will see the date. This thread is from 2008 so its very unlikely any of the original posters will see your response. None of them are around anymore.

Just replying to your comment. I'm in western Nebraska and they give it out like candy. 300 at a time and Iv'e already had 3 of those scripts. Only 10mg though but I've been taking alot. I don't want to get adicted to those and then start drinking again and have to beat both!!!

I am a grateful recovering addict of benzos, and mostly narcotics and opiates, alot of people think they are the same thing but they are totally differnt, i have learnt that I have no control over  other peoples health problems, i will not lie it was very hard at first, but i had talked to the people around me on meds and asked if they could at least be respectful of the fact i am trying to stay clean by either asking me to leave when they take their medicine or simple just turn away, it has been since september now i have been completely clean, i have even recently had surgery and got a non-narcotic prescription, i wont lie i was in a lot of pain, but with the tools i learnt about journaling, and meetings, and sponors and having people in lmy life i can talk to im getting thru it, my advice take everything day by day, if you have to minute by minute good luck, and never give up on yourself, YOU ARE WORTH IT!!!!

to answer rello i am on the fourth day of fentanyl withdrawals.  For about two years I've been abusing the duragesic patches that you are meant to wear by cutting them open and ingesting the fentanyl gel.  I used to be really bad into it but lately, before these four days, I was taking about 25 micrograms and about 40 to 50 millograms of percocet a day.  That was me tapering down from 100 micros of fentanyl and around 10 to 15 10 millogram percs.  
Well thanks guys for the librium advice its helping me greatly.  I originally wanted to get on suboxone but it was waaaay too expensive.  Due to my drug abuse tendencies my mom has been keeping the librium and administering it to me as needed.  I was just scared that once I was out of it I'd be withdrawaling off of THAT.  But it sounds like I'll be okay, though I'm thinking I should taper off it as well.
I feel so good today like there is actually hope.  Of course I'm only in the beginning so we'll see.  Last time I quit I made it two weeks and relapsed.  One of the reasons for the relapse was that my mom takes percocet (prescribed to her) and also wears fentanyl patches for three ruptured discs in her back. (Yes, I started by stealing from her) Though she keeps them locked up now, its just such a trigger when I see her pop a perc or see the patch on her.  Any advice on how to get through these triggers?

It is addictive but that is what we used for detox at one of the treatment centers I worked at.

Yeah eagle is riht if you take it long enough.

I took it withdrawing from alcohol a few years ago . i was only on it for about three/four days.
What are you withdrawing from?
Just curious

Yes - it is. BUT it takes awhile and it isnt like the zanax or diazepam as far as addiction...also not quite the same affect, but still a good one to use...
