I spent the last six months of 2016 titrating down off way too many benzos that my pdoc seemed to use for everything. Sleep. Anxiety. An add on to my mood stabilizers.

It was my choice to come off all of it, and it wasn't a ton of fun, but I'm incredibly happy I did it.

I'm cognitively clearer, I have more motivation, I have more ambition and I've spent less time depressed.

I have some serious sleep issues right now and I'm working hard to curb my anxiety, but it's still worth it to be off the benzos.
