I am interested in your situation and I can tell you that what you are experiancing has been experiance by many others.
I have been interested in what happens to those who take BZDs and how I can help others to overcome the effects that you describe here.
I am unsure as to if what I could say is or is not permitted by me to say here due to new rules made here. So if you would like to hear from my perspective as to overcomming the effects that you are describing, you could email me if you like.Lou
