Thank you, many people do not realize that benzo should only be used for 4 to 6 weeks maximum or occasionally if you are going to take a flight or something else that is terrifying to you. Physical dependence can happen quickly in some people I was on it for 30+ years, and did not develop a physical dependence that I knew of I taper off of it in the fall and then got such terrible symptoms including the internal vibrations that I reinstated, and now I am going through yet a second taper. My daughter was taking tamazepam for migraine headaches occasionally, and I have told her now to not use it anymore. I am an extreme case, although I have found many other people who have been over prescribed benzos for as long as I was. It now has a black box warning. I am still taking 1.5 mg per day down from 2.5 to 3 mg per day. My taper will be slow, but considering the severity of my symptoms, I don’t think I have any other choice. Thanks for your kind words.
