It’s well know that long use of benzos and antidepressants can be
associated with suicide. From my own experience, and from years
of reading and interaction, I know that a large fraction of ruin and
suicides can be avoided if these dangerous drugs are not
stopped or cut “quickly”.
I’ve had a tough life, then in the last 6 years I’ve been tested
beyond what I could imagine after stopping these drugs on my own
out of fear of toxicity. I am only alive now because my wife would be
left alone and likely hopeless in her twilight years.
And entering a detox program is often a kiss of death; they don’t
know that stopping under insurance guidelines often damages
the brain and ruins the life.
(it’s also well know that many have damaging reverse effects
if they try to restart; and I am one of those)
