Hi yxibow,
Not to belabor the point, but if you take a glance at the "heroin and opiate withdrawal" forum (and in the archives) you will see many people who have been on a benzo (albeit some abusing them too) but some on legitimate doses and who say that opiate or heroin withdrawal is a walk in the park compared to benzo withdrawal. Not my words because I have never been addicted to heroin or opiates.Heather Ashton may not impress you but she is the only perseon who did successfully taper 100's of people off benzos and has extensively studied them. I would not just write off her research.
