"unless you are using this as a one off say for a flight or dental work do not touch it! docs may warn it is addictive but they won&#039;t tell you that with long term use you can actually go into withdrawal whilst still maintaining the same dose.

i have been on it for 17 years and it&#039;s ruined my life, anxiety is worse and i have developed severe agoraphobia and depression, did my research since the doctors are no help and these are common effects of long term use.

no one warned me and now i face withdrawing which is complicated and painful in itself but the only way i stand a chance of recovery, it will take a very long time though, the drowsiness was awful, that wore off but i am so unsteady on my feet that it amplifies my anxiety."
