I am 65. Have taken 10mgs of zanex for 20yrs. The VA just quit prescribing benzos so they just stopped. No tapering NOTTA. I had a seizure. Really thought I was gonna die. Now it has been 5 months. My muscles.are twitching. I feel terrible. Feels like electricity flowing through my veins. The least sound makes me jump(never had a high startle response).HELP!

You need to contact your congressman’s office. What they did to you is inhumane. We treat animals better than this. Get to a regular hospital or physchiatrist and tell them what happened.

Hi, @dryrun50 - just wanted to check in and see how you are doing? How is the muscle twitching you were experiencing?
