Venting How to get off of benzos?

[obei]

Like as I said in previous posts I dont think my therapist will take me ip and I dont have the money to pay for it.
I dont take as much benzos (psychiatrist told me to take half of one only if really needed and I take around 3 every day) but like idk if this is placebo but I literally shake and my heart beats so fast if I dont take 3. I feel so bad but I dont feel like I can stop anymore.
If I dont ctb Imma just prob become a drug addict giving my addictive personality and be a burden to everybody.
I have strong urge to sh again also.

It's probably not a placebo effect. Benzos cause dependence issues at a decently fast rate. Your best bet sounds like telling your psychiatrist how you're doing, and then starting a taper.

Taper slowly and carefully. Ask your psych about the Ashton protocol especially if you're taking benzos multiple times per day. Reddit has a good benzo recovery subreddit and theres also some support websites.

What toofargone6969 said . If you're in the UK, then there's an organisation called postscript360 that can help you tailor a taper schedule and advise you on how to do it safely / support you through the process. If you're not in the UK, then a support group like Benzo Buddies might be useful to you too.
