Endless withdrawal from benzos and pregabalin

Hi kathy! What did you mean your cardiologist was damaged by these things? All I know was 25 years ago my doctor prescribed them and refilled and refilled and never once said "hey do you know what these are and what they'll do eventually "? Now I am terrified of withdrawal and already had a seizure after running out and unable to get more due severe snow. Mind you my mom took 1 mg a day and got tired of begging for refills without a lecture so she just stopped. No problem no symptoms. I just dont know. I'm on them for agoraphobia so may never be off them.

You can read about her on google and also go to the Benzo Coalition site. You will get more information than you can get from your doctor. Most go through some withdrawal and around 40-50% have difficult withdrawal symptoms. But there are some people who don’t like your mom. I guess you won’t know how you will react until you start a very slow taper.
My psychiatrist prescribes 3 months at a time. Getting a supportive doctor is critical. Most are pretty uninformed. Benzos are more difficult than opiates to get off of and much more dangerous. Take care and hopefully you can start your slow journey.
