> Maybe I have just been veery lucky, but I have never had any discomfort at all from Benzo withdrawal since I found out what was going on. (Years ago, I was always told that my anxiety was just coming back.) Of course, we are all diffeent. Nevertheless, I have found it so easy that I can't help myself from suggesting that you might get a second opinion from some expert in psychopharmacology, especially with much experience with benzos (and no knee-jerk reactons against them). I just wish this could be as easy for you as it has been for me. Good luck.

Thanks Alan. Well, it's getting easier. I don't know why it was so rough when I got down to the minimal dosage. I've come a long way without much problems. I have a new doc, but have only seen her once. She's been very helpful in assuring me. This last time I cut the Halcion I felt almost nothing and am hoping that this is a sign that my body is adjusting to the decreasing dosages. Finally. I had a few scary spells where I went totally hysterical and had suicidal thoughts, etc. Those are days that I do not not want to revisit. I liked what you said earlier, if I remember correctly, that no one should have to be in pain. No, they shouldn't. Thanks, again.
