6 weeks out from final dose

Hi guys,

I am 6 weeks out from my final dose of Diazepam. I know the recovery process can take a long time, but I'm nevertheless getting pretty impatient. This has easily been the worst 6 weeks of my life, and I'm hoping I can get some help from you guys with some of the withdrawal effects. My main problems are digestion related, as well as pretty severe insomnia and anxiety. Look forward to speaking with you!

Insomnia, anxiety and a host of other unpleasant symptoms, are all typical following the cessation of benzos. Luckily they dissipate over time.

The Ashton Manual is an authoritative resource on what to expect during withdrawal and recovery. It provides information that can be very reassuring during any stage of this process, including a list of common symptoms with helpful explanations.
