Matt Samet posted a new entry at Mad In America. It is the best, by far, of any explanation about withdrawal, that I have ever read, or tried to write myself.
Please click the link, and read. Please share. Everyone needs to be warned of the dangers of these drugs.
Thank you Matt, for sharing your writing talent with us. You are an amazing wordsmith.
This is so powerful and fully explains the “terror” of benzo withdrawal. It has helped me so much this morning. I am 2 years out (had to go cold-turkey) but was on benzos for 25 years and even though I understand mentally what this has done to my brain and body I still can get impatient with myself.
Thank you SO much for sharing!!

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I always appreciate what Matt has to say.
Thx Jennifer. Ive seen this b4. Very helpful 🙂
Very good. I went through a massive setback three and a half years out from a CT off Xanax. I had healed enough to go to work even. But the setback was so bad that I ended up in the hospital and on another benzo. I’m almost a year out now from my last taper and it’s still rough at times. It always helps to read Matt’s words. I crack his book whenever I feel really bad.
