If I had to put an image to what two years of benzo withdrawal (a result of alarmingly common malpractice) looks and feels like, this would be it.

Used to take Zoloft (sertraline), made me angry as fuck. You know Eric Harris, one of the Columbine shooters? He was on it too and had shared with doctors/ guidance counselors how freaked out he was at his own anger and they did nothing. Researching this it's crazy how many people on certain SSRI's have committed murder.

Actually been wondering, anybody know any good books on prescription drug withdrawal?

>I am dubious that 10ug every few days will do that much.
It's not about the dose, but rather the equilibrium and tolerance threshold your nervous sytem forms around it.

At the end of my withdrawal from clonazepam, I was weighing out on a fucking jewler's scale 0.0001mg in order to taper down painfully but not feel like I was gonna kill myself. A speck the size of Abe Lincoln's eye on the penny was my dose, and eventually I managed to cut that speck in half with a magnifying glass. Without it I would have gone nuts. The significant figures involved in a proper controlled withdrawal (to simulate a liquid administered taper) are mind bending. You'd be shocked how such a tiny amount can make such a huge difference.
