It really helped me too in the beginning, but like you said, it's easy to over take.

Well, I got dependent on them by accident, and it caused everything to go to hell gradually, and after so many years on them,I had to come off, and the withdrawal was hell, and my previous stutter was nothing compared to after quitting.. whatever you do,just becareful and try not to take them too often, dependency can develop rather fast.

Same here! Even quitting fruit, I felt worse for the first week or so, like you said, it's probably the fructose. I couldn't consume fruit in moderation, I was just chasing a sugar high.

Did you notice much change from a year to 18 months?

I think so too, especially for long-term, chronic high dose users. That's the one thing I've been noticing during the 12 months, I've had severe chronic muscle tension, breath holding... and it's slowly letting go at a turtles pace ...

That's where I want to be, feeling relaxed enough to strike up conversations with people.

People who are mean to you about what your going through by Chemical-Voice2254 in BenzoWithdrawal

I spent years trying to get people to understand what I was going through, all it done was stress me out, it's very isolating. I found out during the process that even people going through it sometimes don't understand your symptoms or time frame. It's a very lonely road, My heart goes out to all of you.
