I'm sorry you're having such a lousy time of it. Have you considered the possibility that what you've been experiencing coming off of benzos is the reappearence of symptoms rather than withdrawal. I know many doctors are benzo averse, but in truth there's little evidence to show harm from long term benzo use.
You said that lorazepam was making you more depressed. Xanax has been shown to have mildly antidepressant effects and is excellent for agitation and anxiety. Not all benzos are alike.
Just some thoughts.
I don't know anything about SAM-e but I hope it helps.
You will feel better,
Britt
