[Er...] Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Heya I just found this site and it looks like it can really help me. I have been on benzos for about 10 years. I was started on Xanax for 5 years then moved to klonopin. I have been on .5 to 1 mg a day for the last 5 years. I am tired of having my brain feel useless and want to taper off this stuff.
