<<Paul,

I feel better posting on a site than emailing because others can add to the discussion. I am all for helping anyone find practical stratagies.
Lou>>That is fine with me and apparently longer discussions are appropriate. My initial post contained a lot of details regarding what I have read on the net. Would you be willing to analyze it, tell us what is true, what is questionable, and why? Does zealotry and/fanaticism, paranoia ever exist to any real degree, and cloud the truth here? Could reading some of these testimonies and claims, that it often takes a very long time to recover, if at all completely, create severe anxiety in and of itself, eg. self fulfilling prophecy? What about the claims of the "chemicals" found in foods, drink, all sorts of pills that supposedly make withdrawals worse?
So I got off two months ago. I tapered pretty slow. I did take a couple of doses early this week but backed off. What do you suggest from here? Thanks. Congrats on being off 7 years. :-)
