Hi it's been 8 months now since I had my last once a day 2mgs of diazepam which I reduced slowly . I frequently have sudden panic attacks now usually at night time before I go to bed and when I do manage to get myself into bed instead of walking about agitated and sometimes crying , I have to leave a light on . This is ridiculous and I know it but somehow it seems to help me get off to sleep . It's almost like being a scared child again , if ever I was a scared child that is .
I've had lots of traumas in my life not least losing my adult son some teen years ago .
I wondered if there was anyone in here who had come off long term tranquillizer use with similar withdrawal symptoms.
