Hello, SEEbop1 - welcome to BenzoBuddies, and congratulations on being benzo-free!

 

Sorry you are suffering following withdrawal, but unfortunately that's very common. The good news is that the symptoms will ease up over time - I've been off fourteen months now, and I've just started sleeping well again and, I'm happy to tell you, the anxiety let up several months ago - it just vanished one day, poof. You may be close to that point, too.

 

I'm so glad you decided to join the forum - you'll find plenty of information and support here. Our members have gone through all aspects of benzodiazepine use and withdrawal, so you'll be able to connect with others who understand what you're going through and can tell you what has worked for them.

Based on the information provided in your introduction, the following link may be a good starting place for you to post your questions.

 

  Post-withdrawal Recovery Support

 

When you have a chance, I recommend that you take a look at The Ashton Manual, which is an authoritative resource on what to expect during withdrawal and recovery. 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.

 

Please take the time to Create a Signature. This will allow members to see where you are in the process, so that they can better support you.

 

Looking forward to seeing you on the forum!
