Kelly,
I am really glad I could be of help. I really wouldn't tell you to do anything that I wouldn't do myself. Like you, I resisted benzos for over a year, even though I had them available.
I found all the horror stories about benzos to be based on hyperbole and sensationalism. I could never figure out why. For me these are the most specific and effective drugs for what has ailed me all my life.
Now that I have a steady dose going, things get better monthly. I feel like my brain is recovering from all the stress! I have way less depersonalization, derealization. And paradoxically, my memory seems to be improving! This is what benzos do to people with anxiety disorders.
I wish you the best. I'm very happy you're doing well!
Matt
