KellyD,
Hello and thank you for your post. I've lurked the boards since they began and I've seen every kind of benzo basher there is. I've heard every argument. I tell people who freak when they hear that I take benzos daily and will continue to do so that the alternative to benzos for me is death. Sounds dramatic but if the anxiety component of my major depression returns or the insomnia comes back full force for longer than a week I'm outta here! That is how bad things are sans benzos.
I tend to stay out of the benzo wars since I haven't the patience to educate those who refuse to be educated.
I appreciate both posts by you and Viridis.
Keep taking whatever it is that is keeping you here and feeling almost like yourself. Who cares what anyone else thinks?! They don't live our existence.

> I've not posted to you, so.... hello. I read your addition to my post on med board to Viridis. I am SO glad to find someone (and I know there are many) who benzo's help. I have felt very alone at times, as that class of meds seem to cause such viseral reactions in some. My "buying into" those thoughts and negative comments and a "you'll be sorry" warning caused me to ALMOST miss what works for me and suffer needlessly.
