>but those of us who are on benzos and can't get off
Try nibbling a small piece of a tablet whenever you feel the withdrawal symptoms appear. You might have to do this several times a day. There is nothing that says you have to take your benzo as a once or twice a day schedule. You take the smallest dose that will allow you to go 4-6 hours of relief. It works wonderfully for me with benzos, Effexor, Cymbalta, and SSRIs.The other thing you can experiment with is the usage of a pro-GABA mood-stabilizer to take while you are weaning off the benzo. Depakote might be ideal for this. Also, Neurontin, Lyrica, or Topamax.
