I have been off all drugs for many years after a severe and long lasting benzo withdrawal. After some stress and fatigue I have gone back into months of the exact same symptoms as my original withdrawal...EXACT! This is not anxiety.
I have since met another man who is in the same shape here in the USA, two in the UK and one in Australia that has recovered after 10 months.
I spoke with the famous benzo researchers/doctors: Ashton and Leder and both stated benzos can leave an engram in the CNS of the symptoms and return years later - evidently a type of damage that can be stressed provoked.
Those of us who are in this would like to connect with anyone else that has had this happen.
