Hi Squiggles,
You are so very kind and your words so sweet to me that I almost feel compunctious and remorseful for having (maybe!) gone too far in denying the existence of any kind of 'benzo withdrawal syndrome' attributable to a benzo itself as opposed to 'a symptom of anxiety' rendered manifest and obvious by the premature (or outright contra-indicated and 'contra naturam') cutting out of a certain benzo in the wrong moment!! Perhaps (I just don't know for sure) I was too radical and if it is so I apologize it here for the exaggeration.
Now if you are naughty and call me Lago (instead of Iago (with an 'i')), I'm going to sell you to the bugaboo or to his comrade the bogyman, who are going to deliver you to the cousin of this latter, the pitiless hobgoblin!...
Yours truly,
