Apologies for being morbid, I am not in a good place at the moment.
I tapered off benzos over about 8 months and finished recently. Something has happened in my life that has caused me to not be able to cope (not directly related to the withdrawal) and I am in a pretty bad situation.
It took a lot for me to come off and I really don't want to go back on but I might not have a choice.
All I read is either happy happy joy joy stories of people loving benzos or that they are the devil and are hell.
I'm trying to weigh it up as if I went back on it would probably have to be for 6 months to a year minimum and the same coming off. 2 more years on them is not something I relish, but it might save my life. It pretty much did that last year when I first became properly dependent.
What circumstances would you go back on and would you ever go back after withdrawing?
Not much balanced opinions about, so I thought i'd ask on here as people might be less black and white about it.
