Still Struggling after 6 months

[[ke...]]

I have been off of valium for 6 months. I was prescribed for inner ear imbalance 8 years ago. I was only taking .5mg at night. I went onto liquid to get off and taper. It has been the worst year of my life. But God is helping me keep on going. "WIth God all things are possible" MAtt 19:26

Welcome to BenzoBuddies, kennedy.

 

Glad to hear you are off the Valium.  Symptoms can certainly hang on for awhile afterwards as the body heals, and that can be very frustrating and alarming.  You may want to start posting for support in Post Withdrawal Support.

When you have a chance, I highly recommend that you take a look at The Ashton Manual, which is an authoritative source on what to expect during withdrawal and recovery, authored by Dr. C. Heather Ashton, who is an expert in the field. It provides a great deal of information that can be very reassuring during any stage of this process, including a list of common symptoms with helpful explanations on the reasons for their existence.
