Hey Niko,

Thanks for your thoughts.

Yeah, I've been off of the benzo's about a week - I'm on 15 mg imovane, now - and I don't feel great, but I am managing. I'm not on an anti-dep either at the moment, b/c that wackjob of a "dr" finally took me off (after all of my begging & pleading - HORRIBLE side effects).

I get anx. attacks from time to time, but I think it's worth not being on the benzo. I don't want to be addicted, and there are the other lovely side effects to handle, namely: sweating, dry mouth, constipation, tiredness, decreased libido, etc.

For now, I guess I am addicted to that hypnotic imovane....until my script runs out. Then either I don't sleep, or I revert back to taking the benzo.

Take care,

d.
