DPDR after years of being on benzos

I want to encourage you to look into the common long term benzodiazepine usage withdrawal symptoms. Some can be extremely severe especially for long term use. If you have been regularly taking Xanax for the past 11 years and then quit cold turkey, that likely is a huge culprit for a lot of what you have been going through.

If you talk to a local doctor and explain your situation, how you had been prescribed them long term and had to quit cold turkey, they will likely put you on a slow-action long lasting benzo with a taper schedule to help ease the effects.

I know it can be hard to see a doctor (trust me...social anxiety), but it will make it much easier in the long term. Best wishes!
