I think it most likely is from cutting your dose, Patricia. But, hang in there because you don't want to take a step back & have to just taper a different day. And, yes, benzos really reek havoc on people. I just hope doctors stop prescribing them so much, but I doubt it!
That story I posted was only 9-10yrs of my life, from my late 20's to my late 30's. Even though it may sounds like a lot of problems, those were happy yrs ( in between all the medical catastrophes. Lol! The most horrible yrs of my life were from age 27 & before. Haven't talked about those yrs yet., but I will someday!
