I completely agree and have the same difficulty. It's really hard trying to cope each day with the symptoms. If I could go back of course with what I know now I would never have taken the Benzodiazepines but it's too late for me and many others. I've been using Clonezepam incorrectly for many years and it is rendering me in a state of constant insomnia. I split 1mg in .5mg and take it exactly at the same time 12 hours apart 10am and 10pm. I don't feel it does much other than keep me from losing my mind in-between doses. It's quite sad. I've always been very active and interested in so many things but I got hit with a severe depression with anxiety and progressive insomnia since last December. I probably already mentioned this to you. I repeat myself often sorry. My mental functions are not good in this condition. I find it extremely difficult to go and do anything so I generally get up late get something to eat and go back and sit in my bed watching podcasts that distract my mind. I do my daily hygiene. I just feel subdued and in the grips of this condition which I feel is related to the long-term benzodiazepine use in my case and I agree the pharmaceutical industry, the government FDA and medical science and medical schools training doctors, etc. have betrayed us whether knowingly or not and have ruined the lives of countless people like us who suffer terribly. Always praying 🙏
