Good luck!
This can be true. I am worried myself because I just started taking small amounts of klonopin and I have read all the horror stories of withdrawal and all.
Then I have read that alot of people wean off of benzo's without any trouble. Lots of people have a horrible time coming off of effexor and say it ruined years of their life. I have gone off of effexor a bunch of times without any trouble.

If I was you I would get a psychiatrist. Get a referral or if not find your own. I am one that is of the opinion along with alot of others here that GP's should not be prescribing psychoactive drugs. That is the job of pdocs.
