It's over

My old psychiatrist :marseyfreud: was an old man who could barely hear. He had me on multiple benzos. Now he's in hospital :marseyloss: and probably going :marseysalmaid: to die. I've been assigned a new psychiatrist. She's young :marseytedkaczynski: and she was like oh heck no and whittled me down to one benzo. And I only get 30 a month! Currently I get 60 to take in the morning :marseycoffee: and night. It's so joever I can't contemplate it. No more blacking out and knowing you still have an ample supply left. My benzo days are coming to an end.

I'm too crestfallen to even attach a Holly pic.

Is this absolute cavewoman not aware of the Ashton Manual? She needs to put you on a one year taperino.

Sneedman enjoyers, the quality of the writing will bounce back :taycelebrate:

>A number of people are expressing fears that some benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms last for ever, and that they can never completely recover. Particular concerns have been raised about impairment of cognitive functions (such as memory and reasoning) and other lingering problems such as muscle pains and gastrointestinal disturbances.

>People with such worries can be reassured. All the evidence shows that a steady decline in symptoms almost invariably continues after withdrawal, though it can take a long time – even several years in some cases. Most people experience a definite improvement over time so that symptoms gradually decrease to levels nowhere near as intense as in the early days of withdrawal, and eventually almost entirely disappear. All the studies show steady, if slow, improvement in cognitive ability and physical symptoms. Although most studies have not extended beyond a year after withdrawal, the results suggest that improvement continues beyond this time. There is absolutely no evidence that benzodiazepines cause permanent damage to the brain, nervous system or body.
