My decision is not based on just one type, I have dealt with Paxil, Mirtazapine, Doxepin, Xanax...I no longer need them or the problems they caused me. I also ditched all other prescriptions, blood pressure, heart meds and such, I feel better than I have in several years and have my Drs puzzled...

Benzo addiction happens and not the easiest thing to withdraw from. I had quite a fight with it, 4-5 2mg Ativans a day kept the boogers away and 4-5 months to kick the habit. I will never take psych meds again.

Found a woman.

5 consecutive nights of real sleep, I feel that I have turned that corner. My view is that the meds interfered with the process for a long time. Back a few months, before I shed the meds, I slept 10 hours, mostly dreamless, woke up stupid and rarely got up to speed. I have grown enough to deal...

Slept all night, first time in several months, didn't wake up stupid. Completely unaided, I also dropped the 420 with the rest. The illness of shedding the meds was worth it. My mind is clearing rapidly, my blood pressure is 141/82, I have real energy. My interest level is skyrocketing. Time to...

It worked for me. I have ditched all my meds, it wasn't fun, but I feel better, not sleeping as much, 10 hours a night+not really waking was a waste of my time. I'm so far dealing with symptoms well enough.
