Best wishes. I too was on and off benzos for years and years and no one ever warned me about them until the last few years. I came on Psych Central a year ago and found out a lot about benzodiazepines. I would probably still be on them if I had a doctor who would prescribe them but my present health care provider is simply not dispensing them. I got a month's supply last year and when it was done I wanted to stop thinking about benzodiazepines. I can't say what my life would have been like had I not been taking them. But I think I would have learned better coping skills...something I'm struggling with now. Better late than never? I think so...how about you? I am really glad benzos are no longer in my life, and the truth is I don't much think about them any more. I was definitely psychologically addicted and I am really glad that's behind me, and I thank Psych Central for giving me a lot of good information, education, and support.
