I don't know your history Alera but I think benzos use for long term can negatively effect ones life. This is true for me. I can only speak from my personal experiance. I was making $10k+ a month and had a very active life before benzos. Even with alcohol abuse. During and after Ativan use my quality of life has greatly dimished.

I can barley leave my house now. The 1st 100 days off i was in bed.

I think people should be aware of what these drugs can do to ones life.

I think for very short use they can be life saving. But for longer then a couple of weeks I think you can have some long term negative effects.

Alera thank you for the support its been real hard.
