I really think you will be fine. If you are like me, reading it can cause it! But that is a low dose. I'm not trying to minimize the difficulty you are feeling, but it could be a lot worse.

But you were on it for a year and from what I have and read, it just takes the brain a long time to adjust to not having the drug interfere with normal functioning.

Benzos replace the natural neurotransmitter that calms brain activity, and it takes the brain a while to relearn how to absorb that transmitter.

But you are wise to keep in touch with a doctor. I think most doctors would assume a patient can get off a small dose after a year of use with no problem, but many of us have found otherwise.

But there is really good news here. You're participating in the holiday, working, going for walks, you're doing exceptionally well.
