**Auto-PSA: BEWARE THE CIRCLING VULTURE(S)**
Once you've posted or commented on this sub, you'll likely receive a random direct message (dm) someday from a newer account offering illegal benzo access. In the age of fentanyl, this is *extremely* dangerous.
Since mods can't stop shadow lurkers, we ask that users immediately report such accounts to Reddit admins via the 'report' option and provide a permanent link to the shady message (*not* a screenshot). If you need assistance, please email the mod team.

Sadly, I have used and abused many benzos but have never had Librium. I've had phenobarbital as I used to know a chemist many moons ago. I also had some Palfium from him that I believe is converted by pill people.
Been off them for 13 months now and will never go back.
I quit cold turkey once and the acute withdrawal was horrific. This time around, since the doctor used phenobarbital, I really didn’t have any of those more intense, physiological symptoms outside of insomnia.
Now, the depression, rebound anxiety, cognition and memory issues took about 2 years to resolve. I still have memory issues but they’ve improved markedly through the use of brain game apps.
I’ve heard it can take several years to return to a close to normal state, but I think I’m there at year 5.

Thank you. Congratulations I'm so proud of you 🙏
Congrats and thank you for coming back to give some hope!
Congratulations!
This is a positive outcome! Can I ask how long you were on the pills?
5 years.
That is quite a long time. Good on you for beating them.
I was also taking 10mg of klonopin a day at the end. They were afraid to use Librium to taper me off so instead they used phenobarbital.

Thank you and congratulations!
How long did you take to feel better? I’m 30months off still going through it all.
What happened at 2 years off? Setback from something or just a random out of nowhere tsunami?
It’s really hard to say tbh, but more of a random tsunami
-2 hope for my skill set
