Hi

I made a decision with my doc to come off of a benzo. I don't want to have to take a drug that is so addictive anymore and these meds can be damaging....

so I tapered off of clonazepam in May after being on it 20 years and it has been pretty rough but I do not regret it. I have the withdrawal syndrome that comes along with that. I have adrenaline rushes in the am. I have insomnia and I am in a bad mood most of the time. Depersonalization and de-realization are also pretty bad.

I joined an online group called benzo-buddies and it has been very supportive and helpful.

I noticed some of you are also coming off of these nasty benzos. How are you doing in your recovery?
