Can you take benzos for life??

Posted by Paul Smith on April 22, 2005, at 17:17:41

I want to hear opinions. On the net you hear a lot about tolerance and so many want to wean off, but I simply cannot take the withdrawals, call me a wimp or whatever, but I got no one to pay my bills. I have come off 3 times, once a very slow taper and I was a freak show for months, walking on clouds, dp/dr, scared around people, seeing surreal, no capacity to relax, skin burning like fire. And my shrink said it was all psychological, nonsense! I have been back on 35 mgs of Valium 3 weeks now and am fine, plus take a bit of Paxil, 5 mgs. I can see the world again. My skin does not burn, just a bit of brethelessness and get dizzy and off balance sometimes. But i no longer want to die! And I am looking for a job! But some people tell me this is not going to last. Will be a basket case again and have to try and taper off again. My god people. Somebody comes with some good news but be honest. Thanks.
