I have been on benzo's for over eight years both klonopins and ativans and assorted anti-deppressants. Needed to stop anti-deppressants mostly for side effects mainly inorgasmia cause whats the point if you can't have an orgasm you might as well be deppressed.

But as far as benzo's I was taking Ativan 3-2 mg. tabs a day for stress and anxiety and panic attacks was moving and didnt feel like searching for a new doc so I just quit cold but still had half the script left and a refill which i will refill of course

but it has been one month since i stopped and i am fine, may have taken 3 or 4 pills over the four weeks here and there but other than a some insomnia and minor anxiety attacks I am fine and will be better off without them

People understand we will always have stress in our lives but we need to get rid of the single most stressing thing that we deal with, which is different for each of us and start there. Yes that can and might be impossible for most people but it can only start with change, which for most of us is the reason we are on the meds in the first place but I can tell you from experience it can be done and no, it won't be easy but if you want to get off the pills you need to do

what you have to

now I will work on losing some weight and if I don't die first from lung cancer or a heart attack maybe I could try to quit smoking after 32 years

good luck

ps I have quit drinking and other illicit drugs and gone back and quit again

so it can be done
