I wish I had faith that an experienced p-doc could handle my benzo w/d. I've been on k-pin for 20 years with 3 very unsuccessful attempts at withdrawal. No p-doc worked any magic for me, because there is no magic pill or substance that can help ease benzo w/d. Statistically, most people have tolerance and withdrawal problems that are hellish and disabling.

You've gone off the xanax then have returned to taking it. I would like to hear from someone who has been on long-term benzo use and successfully withdrawn and stayed off benzos. Benzo w/d is not bad for everyone, but for most people benzo w/d's are likened to heroin w/d's, except that heroin w/d does pass after a couple of weeks and is very seldom life-threatening. And there are meds to replace the opiate. Benzo w/d sickness can last for years and can be life-threatening. Look, why do you think most p-docs don't want to prescribe benzos? There are reasons. they're not just trying to be cruel to their patients, ya know?
