Benzos should not exist or at least used sparingly. The numbing effect they have on GABA receptors leads to glutamate neurotoxicity which is lethal! And that a lot people don’t understand how these drugs work including doctors and psychiatrists is astounding to me.
I lost the only person who cared for me thru my traumatic childhood, my Grandmother when I was 26. I absolutely fell apart. I dropped out of college and work. I started having multiple panic attacks everyday. My doctor put me on Xanax. I would get out of bed, eat breakfast sit in a chair, stair at the wall until it got dark, ate dinner and went to bed. I was a zombie for a year, minus the biting people. Amazingly at the end of the year I stopped taking it to see if I would have attacks again. I never had any negative withdrawal symptoms or panic attacks. It is a terrible drug though. A year of my life just disappeared.
Agree. The whole benzo 'come back ' takes about two years, really. 👍 💯
