Remember, you are stronger than you can ever imagine. You will get thru this, your brain and nervous system will reset back to there original state, and you will enjoy life again., unnumbed and alive!
Believe me! You will live again.
I read this book early on, and it shed light on what was wrong with me and what PAWS really was. It is a bit expensive, but if you go on amazon, just read a sample from the book. Also, try Google books, and do the same...
https://a.co/d/e5tSGcFThe benzo crisis is an epidemic, and most people don't even know what's wrong with them, and are then misguided by uneducated Dr.s on this issue...
1. Taper slowly, over years
2. Seek out a support system that will back you the entire way.
Never listen to someone who says its not from the benzos... remember , some people heal very quickly, most do not, especially after kindling.
3. Use Resources on You tube that are very good:

5. As difficult as it is, coffee is the worst thing for PAWS. But starting your day with coffee only fuels your anxiety and panic, which then manifest as hundreds of other symptoms we all know about.
Use tea, See the link at the top for teas that you can learn to love, that will wake you up, and then work with theanine to keep you calm.
6. Have compassion for your self. Develop a routing that you can handle. Push your self a little more as time goes on.
7. TAKE IT EASY.
Thinking of you all in your healing! I healed, you will too!
