Absolutely, I was put on benzo's back in 2003, I was stuck on them for 14 years cause the withdrawal was so monstrous and the dose I was taking ,I became tolerate and everyday was hell unless I uped my dose. I was living in hell even while being on them. I finally put 2 and 2 together and started researching benzo's and I stumbled on benzobuddies site which also has groups for antidepressants. Anyway , they gave me the strength to get off of them . I suffered the withdrawals for 2 years ,the first year was hell! Brain zaps ,tingling throughout, barley slepted just completely hell not feeling like I was there. Just awful!! Slowly after the first year all thise symptoms started slowly fading and I was starting to feel myself again. My self from before I got on them. While I was in tolerance withdrawal and didn't know it, I literally was suicidal everyday. I just wanted out. The minute I went off them that feeling of wanting to kill myself was gone. I realized then that it was those that made my brain feel like that. Awful and the doctors still push this crap.....Making myself get off them and struggling for so long was the strongest thing I have ever done in my lifetime. I go back to that time whenever I feel like this crap going on in my country, world that I can't do it anymore. I remember how I forced myself to be strong during that time.
