Really good advice about withdrawing from benzos. I always get in the "let's get this over" mode and probably go too fast; although, as I've noted, I don't seem to pay any price for the faster-than-prudent withdrawals. Actually, my main symptom from benzo withdrawal is depression, oddly enough-not severe, just enough to de-energize me from doing anything but perhaps a couple Sudokus and playing with the cat. And exercise during withdrawal seems to really, really help.
Gosh, I hope you weren't saying anything bad about beer. :>} That's always my first question about a new med, "can I have three beers while taking this?"-not, for example, "do you think it will work". I figure I know the beer works, but there's maybe a 30% chance the new med will-so I stay with an old friend. :>}
