The medicalization of mental illness has given rise to many forms of pharmacological relief that restore chemical imbalances in one's brain.
Pain
I sometimes wonder why they call them pain pills, it NEVER fully kills the pain, it only numbs it temporarily. After a few hours, give or take, it resurfaces. This time it has returned with a vengance stronger than the last time. Ingest one more pill, that should definitely get the job done. Except it does not.

Benzo withdrawal
It began with running low on a prescription and turned into a nightmare. So where do we begin? Well let's start with having your primary care physician manage some serious psychiatric medications. Bad idea, and something I wish I would've known sooner because it could've prevented this whole disaster. So what is this disaster you speak of? The disaster was running out of benzodiazepines to find out that my primary care physician could not prescribe them. At first, I thought nothing of it. I'll figure it out, but I wasn't able to. Now I'm without this medication and my body has grown dependent on it. I'm starting to experience a nightmare of symptoms. I'm at work and I can't sit still. Not just a normal anxious feeling either. I can feel this in my head, like this terrible gnawing feeling of I have to move.

Lately
I miss the taste of alprazolam in the morning. There is nothing quite like waking up, dry swallowing that 2mg bar and then closing your eyes while the feeling of warmth, relief and childlike mischievousness unentombs your mind from any form of disagreeable, heavy thoughts. It does, however, taste disgusting; it is an acquired taste.

Welcome to My Withdrawal
Friends, I've thought I had been through some really awful shit in my life. I mean, I was held captive and by that I mean a huge man had me by the hand and wouldn't let me go as a matter of fact he pulled my shoulder out of the socket and caused permanent damage to my wrist, Sounds tragic. I know but wait there's more.

He’s in the bathroom every ten seconds, he drinks water like a fish! We just want the best for him, we love him, we really do and he’s a sweet kid…. We are positive your son has attention deficit disorder, and may benefit from some additional help to stay on task. We are happy we were able to spot this so early on.”

Brain Shivers
You feel like you’re coming down when you haven’t taken anything unorthodox. My personal experience meant I lost my peripheral vision and couldn’t access any higher level brain functions. It feels like you’re melting and that you’re only halfway there.
