I wanted to ask a few questions about your use of Benzo's. I take it Klonopin was the one ?? I wonder how you came to the time of wanting to stop the use of it. Was it DECREASING the quality of your life ? I struggled a long time with using or not using a benzo. I was well informed of the pitfalls by my Dr. and it was a last resort for me. Researched it myself, also. My quality of life improved ten fold and that continues. I have never increased dosing in a year's use and have decreased to a range of .125mg - .375 mg per day... much below what most consider therapeudic, but works for me. I may have the dependence issue, but the benefits have been great for me. I am wondering, if something is working, why change a good thing ?? I'm not trying to argue or anything, I am just really curious about the issues you had with this and why you don't want to use it at all ??? Your response would be appreciated.
