Hi Guys :) Im Cassius, I've had bouts on and off benzos. Ironically I'm studying to be a doctor so quite aware and curious of its effects, I hope my journey can help others as well as be inspired off others

Hello cassius,

 

Welcome to Benzo Buddies!  No one is really immune to the effects of benzodiazepines, we actually have a number of members in the medical field.  As you might know, since you are studying to be a doctor, these drugs are designed for short term use only because of the danger of physical dependency.  Some people can withdraw from benzos with few serious effects, others have a more challenging time.  Our forum's mission is to provide support and encouragement for those who wish to taper off benzos and also continue to support them as they recover.

 

What benzos have you taken and for how long? If you provide more information we can better support your individual needs.

 

I'll give you a link to the Ashton Manual. It is an excellent resource about these types of drugs and how to withdraw. It was written by Dr. Heather Ashton, an expert in the field.

 

If you are now off benzos, I will provide a link to the Post Withdrawal Recovery Board where you can post and receive feedback from members.

 

We always welcome those who wish to share their experiences, it helps others to know they are not alone in this process.

 

Please do ask questions, we're here to help.
