In reply to Withdrawal Symtom Relapse from Benzos?, posted by recoverybound on December 14, 2006, at 20:11:33
You were treated criminally - 60mg per day taken down to zero in 5 days! That is a travesty. No wonder you have every symptom in the book. This makes me see red!
NEVER EVER Go to a detox facility to get off benzos! Read the Heather Ashton literature on the web. She recommends (and most doctors with an ounce of knowledge and compassion) to decrease the benzo by no more than *10%* very very slowly. It should have taken you about a year to get off this amount. Makes me furious.
Find a good doctor who KNOWS about decreasing benzos the 10% rule, and maybe reinstate the valium and begin a very slow decrease. Otherwise you may be in for *protracted* withdrawal symptoms. Best of luck,
Val
