Thanks for sharing. A person close to me was in this exact same situation. Her doctor prescribed benzos for years, and it ruined her life. Not only this, but other doctors flat out denied that her symptoms were being caused by withdrawal. Professor Ashton, who founded the website benzo.org.uk, was one of the first to recognize and alert about these dangers. To this day, a lot of doctors are uneducated about the side effects of, and proper tapering techniques for benzos.
