Damn, I just saw this tread and it freaked me out. I've been using for more than 10 years, on and off, all kinds of benzos but mostly diazepam and bromazepam. My doses have never been really that high, mostly within the therapeutic range. I did some stupid shit back in 2009-10-11 with high doses and booze, but that was sometimes only, not a regular thing. I quit many times with diazepam taper without any issues. My longest break was 6 months, there were several breaks of 3-4 months and many breaks of a month or so. Now I'm tapering again from 20 mg of diazepam, 1 mg per week. So I had no issues whatsoever during the past 5 weeks, I'm on 15 mg now and I've been feeling kinda depressed the past 3 days and anxious, but I don't know if this has to do with withdrawals or with some of my personal issues (job, health, etc), you know when your life issues catch up with you and it overlapped with my benzo taper and already ruined one attempt to quit. How serious you guys think my situation is? You can read my more detailed tread titled "benzo taper question", it's a few treads below this tread. I'd highly appreciate any advice. Thanx.
