I haven't. I remember telling my psychiatrist to get me off of the benzos cuz I believe that they should only be taken daily for a max of 2 weeks.

There's something called "The Ashton Manual" for withdrawing from benzos. Usually it's about switching to diazepam and then tapering down because diazepam has a long half life.

Good luck
