Allright so whats the story here? Does anyone have any first hand experience to indicate that a person can suffer for years after coming off the drug (say Valium) as a consequence to taking low doses of benzos for an extended period of time. Or we really talking about a complex interaction of pre-existing condition meets drug withdrawal for a few weeks or months tops.
I'm sure taking mega doses of benzo's for 20 years isn't good for the vast majority of folks, but I'd like to hear a couple real life stories if anyone has any?
That Heather Ashton site has me worried that the 7.5mg of Tranxene I take daily will lead to more problems. Incidentally I used to take 1.5mg of Xanax about 10 years ago for 3 years, then 1mg of klonopin 5 years ago for about 3 years, now I'm taking 7.5mg of Tranxene for about a year.
lend me your thoughts,
Scott
