      Benzo's are very hard to come of. Don't be surprised if you may have to keep taking a small dose daily for some time before you can totally come off them. Its not weakness or lack of strength, its the nature of benzo's and their addictive quality's.

      I recently had to stop taking Lorazapam. I always had a bad habbit of taking one, and not waiting long enough. I would take more, and more. Next thing I knew, I was too out of it to know what was going on. The final straw was when i woke up one morning with a brand new laptop computer that I don't remember buying the day before.
