Glad to hear your story; Congrats & thanks for giving me hope and inspiration. I feel safe when using benzos, but I'm a different person when I don't take the med's and the person without the benzos is quite a different one. I'm in Parkinson's Disease group, and three of us were talking about our neurologists. When I told them who I was seeing, they turned and looked at each other, laughed, and then said "Vitamin K" for klonopin. One of the women then said, "no way was I going to take that junk." I wish I knew more about the junk med's before I began taking them more than twenty years ago.
