It is taking me ages to get these benzodiazepines out of my system. I was on ativan 8mg and valium 40mg for eight years and I was detoxed, going back up twice, in four-an-a-halve weeks. It was absolute hell. I was "lucky" enough to be in this detox where they kept on pushing and moaning the entire day, so I didn't have any time to sit still and worry about me going crazy. The lack of understanding still gets me raging, there is so little information amongst health practioners about coming off benzo's. You might need to provide them yourselves with the Ashton Manual.
