Medication May Stop Drug and Alcohol Addiction

I don't know if the calcium channel blocker would work for benzos. Since it's a blood pressure pill, it could help with anxiety spikes during w/d. But I never got a feeling of euphoria from benzos, and my use was not associated with people, places, sights, sounds, and smells, as what might happen for an alcoholic or cocaine user. A favorite bar, a drinking buddy, etc. With me it was just the physical anxiety that rose up, no matter what I was doing, because the drug was wearing off.

Calcium channel blockers have their own side effects, and the pill would have to be tapered off of slowly.

Addiction is the least of my problems so something like this would do nothing for me.

Also, I am not anti drug but I now realize that drugs prescription drugs can do MUCH more harm than doctors or drug companies claim they can so I would have to see some pretty compelling evidence that a drug was safe AND effective for me to justify popping a pill to try to reverse the damage another pill caused.

If this experience has taught me anything it is that there are no free rides.
