Three years of PAWS is a really long time. How long were you on the benzos for? I can't imagine suffering that long without going back on them.True words. Getting off valium, xanax and etizolam was the most difficult thing I have ever, ever done. I very nearly killed myself it hurt so much. The physical effects are easily as bad as a hefty opiate withdrawal. But the mental effects cannot be described. To paraphrase HST, 'nothing could explain the terror I felt'. That terror lasted a good three years, on and off. For the record, I had a big benzo habit, 100mg+ valium a day was usual just to stay perky.
These drugs are Satan incarnate.
