Rapid Response Press Beyond Benzos: Benzo Addiction, Benzo Withdrawal, and Long-term Recovery from Benzodiazepines

Informative

Ce livre est exceptionnel, il m'a beaucoup aidé dans ma démarche de sevrage.Il est plein d'informations utiles, des histoires vraies sont aussi dans ce livre, on se dit que nous aussi on peut y arriver!Le seul problème c'est qu'il est en Anglais, pas un problème pour moi mais serait un frein pour les personnes qui ne parlent pas cette langue.Je n'ai pas trouvé de livre similaire en Français...

First off, I'm not an addict. I don't crave pills and I don't fit a lot of the descriptions in the book. I'm tapering because I was given pills for anxiety for years. Most if the time I would forget to take them. So if you are tapering and want support then look for others books. Also some facts are not in stone and are scary. If you are addicted to other pills and crave pills then yes, this book is for you. If not and you are like me, you became dependant. However, withdrawal can take years and from my own personal experience with this as well my years of research it is not anywhere near as simple as this book description. This month I walk away from a five year taper (pure undefined hell) and I get to start my life over again. I don't even think about benzos. (Like the books addiction states) But reading these mock stories and seeing how 32% and 84% of people can get Alzheimer's from one medical study is scary. Yes, it's true, however when you or a friend or family member is going through a taper, we need less fear. There are good forums for this too online. Benzobuddies is a forum that is amazing. Although this is a good "fact" book, I'm sorry but it does not cut it at all compared to anything that Bliss Johns or Jack Hobson wrote. Sorry

Excellent book! Author very knowledgeable and being an addict herself knew how to get all the important information out to us ex- benzo users. Refreshing to find somebody who actually believes that you can and do go through benzo withdrawal effects because she went through it herself. All the doctors that I had to deal with during my withdrawal refuse to believe me. I thought I was losing my mind! Her book made me realize that I was very normal and that I would make it through. I thank God and my family and special friends who did not give up on me during this time. I have been off benzos for eleven months now and still doing good.

It's good for those at the beginning of process. I've been in withdraw for awhile now. I already knew all the content in this book.
