OMG Never go CT on benzo, way to many risks of seizure... Please go see a dr if you wanna stop them. You have to establish a tapering plan and wean you off very slowly under dr's control.

You cannot stop benzos cold turkey, they are basiclly alchol in pill form, these are the two w/d that can kill you! Seizures is the big one, and depending on how much you have been taking around 36-72 odds are you are gonna have one. Please share more information I know alot about these little devil drugs! Best wishes
