[Th...] Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I am 53 years old, had been on benzos for 10 years. Was also abusing Tramadol. Mostly took benzo as prescribed. Most recent drug was Xanax 2 mg bid. I went into detox and now inpatient rehab for 90 days...have professional license on the line. I was switched over to Klonopin 2 mg bid, but weaned off it in 2 weeks. I am one month off benzo and suffering with pain, super sensitive body, and poor cognition. Some improvement.
