[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 694186, member: 1963"] I know with the benzos that I take, first prescribed by a psychiatrist for long term use about 10 years ago, the withdrawal includes incredible anxiety and fear and sleeplessnness, the stuff the benzos were prescribed to treat in the first place. It also, because benzos really screw up brain chemistry, includes psychosis, seizures, and can take one to two years to get through withdrawal using a slow taper. Even then there are often long-lasting, if not permanent side effects. I've had two different psychiatrists tell me to stay on the benzos due to my age, my other MH issues, and the severity of the withdrawals, which like alcohol, should be done inpatient until the risk of seizure or catastropicallly high blood pressure are past. And that's without me facing any of the guilt an addict would face, just anger at the psychiatrist who initially prescribed these medications and told me (who was very naive at the time) that so long as I took them as prescribed, I had nothing to worry about. bnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn562 [/QUOTE]
