Even when it appeared to be doing zero for my anxiety, and even when it appeared to no longer be detectable in my body or mind. Ie, even after I eventually appeared to be utterly immune to it. I couldn't tell I was taking it. I didn't even know it had ANY effect left in my body whatsoever until the withdrawal began...and then it looked that it had actually an astonishingly strong grip after all.

> It was indeed very helpful for myoclunus, for awhile, btw. But I never had severe myoclonus before I tried atypical antipsychotics...That's exactly what happened to me, though i never did withdraw. You can't say that about the other benzos.
