Amazing post and amazing [...] -- thank you for sharing!! Your strength, courage and resolve, and that of your family's, is incredible.

   I think you got the attention of a lot of folks here.  I am just starting a 20mg taper - now at 15-16mg +/- (using a  pill splitter and 5mg size pills).  If there was a BUGGED OUT eye emoji it would have been used a few times.

When I first starting taking valium it was due to a major panic attack I had in the late 1990's.  Over worked, stressed to the max, trying to support a wife and 1 little boy on pathetic income. (overtime and 2 jobs).  One morning i woke up, made my coffee, and that wave of sheer panic to go out the door hit me, with shaking/tremors,etc. 

I never was informed of the FULL extent of the damage these drugs cause when prescribed. 

I have been taking valium for 20+ years. 

After reading your post i can only wonder what my future will be at nearing the age of 70.

Your [...] is remarkable, Mr B.  And thank you for sharing it with us.  It is very positive even though you have taken so long to recover.  I [...] you will be able to enjoy your life to the full now after losing so many years to [...] withdrawal.  Your wife is amazing and so are you. 

I wish you every happiness, both of you.
