What a great thread. I just scanned through the benzo book and wished i would have read it before my benzo detox.
5 months ago i did a white knuckle detox and i thought i was going to kill myself. I went from a daily intake of 50mg/valium, 200mg/Oxycontin, 12/beers, and lots of caffeine ... to absolutely nothing. I don't suggest this method to anyone!!! The opiates and alcohol left my system rather quickly (3-4 days), but, the benzos stayed for what seemed an eternity.
My vital signs were through the roof for several weeks. It took a month before i could really function, and 2-3 months before I felt "normal" again.
The experience has left a deep psychological scar. Although thats helping me stay clean.
