Thanks for this link. Lots of good info. I tend to disagree with a lot about the physical symptoms, I know that everyone is different. Since mental distress can definitely ramp up physical symptoms, it makes complete sense. Then I get REALLY frustrated when I read posts like the above one. "I have no trouble coming off benzos". Then you also agreed, but I think most every human being would have withdrawal symptoms in some shape or form, especially if you had taken a fairly high dose for many years. From my understand, long term uses causes changes in your brain chemistry.

I'm not sure what folks are trying to say to me when I am going through such hellish withdrawal that I have a very low quality of life right now, when they tell me that they don't have any trouble whatsoever stopping. What am I supposed to say to that? Or are they trying to say my experiences are invalid? I have gotten that before on these forums. I guess I do feel like a freak because this has completed taken over my life, making everything seem awful.
