Jeremy Reed had a ten-year addiction to the drug benzodiazepines. In this tell-all book he discusses his addiction and his inner terrors of withdrawal. The drug was discovered by German scientists and used to keep subject people under control. Its effects can be as devastating as heroin. Amazingly, Reed managed to withdraw without hospitalization; his account will be valuable to other patients, social workers, and doctors. He also delves into the literature of Anna Kavan, Rimbaud, Baudelaire and other authors relating to drug addiction experiences.
