Thank you so much. I appreciate your concern. As you can see I am still awake. I have developed a serious phobia due to a letter we received in Sept. 2024, from the IRS about someone trying to possibly use my social security number to gain employment. It triggered something in my brain and I developed an obsessive/ compulsive disorder. I know it sounds ridiculous but I truly feel this is what happened.

Nothing ridiculous about what happened to you. These benzos cause not only physical but mental symptoms when you get off it destroys the gabba receptors in your brain and takes a long time to rebuild again and that also goes for antidepressants. All these feel good drugs should be banned. They’re only good for 4 to 6 weeks and even then you can become dependent on them
