Have you been reading the Ashton Manual? If you want to know how they work it's a start. But they are very anti-benzo. Here is the link:
http://www.benzo.org.uk/manual/index.htm

I'm sure Ed-UK and SLS will come by and give you more information.

I have been using Klonopin for 10 years at 4 mg. I don't know if it has damaged anything. I am going to come off it though to see if it helps my depression. It will take me one year to get down to 1 mg. So as you can see a slow taper is vital otherwise you go through really bad withdrawal symptoms (been there and done that).
