Conclusion
We need to stop avoiding our problems and learn how to communicate with each other again. We need to learn to go through the natural grieving processes that life has embedded within, to allow us to learn move on from tough situations. We can not keep taking drugs that make us numb to our senses and numb to our emotions and the emotions of our peers..
Quitting benzodiazepines is a process and should not be taken lightly. The withdrawal from Benzos is far more severe than even the worst heroin addiction. If you are struggling with an addiction to Benzos, or any anti-depressant, please seek help.
