That was good.  So sad to watch knowing that's what benzos and other drugs do to people.

Very clever film and seems apt for the pattern of addiction so many describe, where their first try on the drug brings them to a place they will never reach again.  But it's not the pattern of physical addiction for most of the people on BB, I wouldn't think.  Seems like most of us were unwittingly addicted to substances we took as medicine as prescribed by doctors--no highs or thrill chasing involved.

Yes, exacly, the film makes more sense if we think in the 'psychedelic drugs' or even alcoholism... but in some point I can change this yellow feeling as the 'relax' when you take the benzo (at least at the beginning of the treatment), and also this feeling when the body is asking for more dose or when the next dose is coming, the hurry. In my case happened like that, maybe cause I was having alprazolam, for 6 years, and as it's a short-life benzo, the body was suffering between the doses. Also at the end, that the benzo is giving less and less effect with the anxiety (yellow moments) and more with w/d effects (grey life, damaged body), creating the w/d tolerance. And then you analyze if really makes sense to still taking them My history has been like that at least!

Yes, Mak, I can drawn that parallel and see that I was taking Xanax that way--I just didn't know it!  And because I was disciplined about not taking more than three tabs a week (my doc's advice) I was getting into interdose withdrawal, falling flat on the ground like the birdie!  Just didn't know what was going on!
