If
you
live
in
Texas
and
you,
or
someone
you
love,
is
affected
by
benzodiazepines,
then
this
group
is
for
you.
If
you
live
outside
of
Texas,
feel
free
to
participate.
I
also
highly
recommend
this
very
fine
group
which
helped
me:

PURPOSE
This
group
can
offer
sympathy,
advice
and
information
for
anyone
going
through
benzo
withdrawal.
The
most
important
thing
YOU
can
do
is
educate
yourself
and
use
all
your
resources,
including
your
doctors,
internet
links,
books
and
support
groups.
The
more
you
understand
about
benzo
withdrawal,
the
better
you
will
be
able
to
cope
with
it.
Always
ask
questions
if
you
don't
understand
something.
Remember
there
is
no
such
thing
as
a
stupid
question.
ALWAYS
CONSULT
YOUR
DOCTOR
BEFORE
TAKING
OR
CHANGING
DOSAGES
OR
ANY
MEDICATION,
HERB
OR
NUTRITIONAL
SUPPLEMENT.
