Anxiety, no memory, paranoia, totally feeling insane?

Can someone tell me how long all of these last after stopping benzos? It gets so hard sometimes to deal with this, and the pressure on my head, the splitting headaches! Any little bit of stress makes it 100 times worse. Been stopped almost 4 weeks?

It varies a lot from person to person.  I was doing noticeably better at the three month mark.  Still had a ways to go, but at least the non-stop anxiety/agitation had eased.

My memory has been hit pretty hard. It's minor stuff, like losing my phone or my keys, or putting things where they don't belong (I found the newspaper in the fridge the other day....) so I'm okay with that. I am having headaches but trying not to take anything and just sleep them off when possible. I'm 6 weeks off.

I had no problems with OTC pain meds like ibuprofen.  It would have been impossible to work without something for the morning headaches that I almost always seemed to have.  But if you're sensitive to those meds, I totally understand not taking them.
