:) I am a benzo addict. Lorazepam is very powerful with horrible w/d symptoms. I am now down to .5mg every other day!!!!! It's been a long journey and at times I didn't think I was going to make it. My w/d symptoms have gotten less and less and I am to the point that I know I CAN DO THIS. This has taken me 2 months to get this far but I can already see the payoff. I have panic/anxiety disorder and didn't think I could live without it. YOU CAN!!!! My anxiety and panic attacks have even gotten better. I will be done tapering off by next week :) If anyone reads this with a benzo addiction I want you to know that it is possible. It takes a long time and many many sleepless nights. You will be emotionally and physically drained but you can do it. Cry alot, take alot of hot showers and remember that many people have been through this also. You are not alone. You will survive this.
