1.0 out of 5 stars Superficial and not worth the 5 stars everyone gives it., November 26, 1999

By	John A.W. Polsgrove "jacpolsgrove" (Tucson, Baja Arizona) - See all my reviews

I bought this book to help me detox from Valium. While I think her intentions are good, the information is pretty general and not that useful. Instead, I highly recommend "Benzo Blues" by Dr. Edward Drummond, to someone contemplating coming off benzodiazepines. It's about 10 times better than this slight, not very informative book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, the answer I was looking for, August 13, 1999

By A Customer

To make it short, after half of my life of taking tranquilizers and sleeping pills for my insomnia, and being completely unable and handicaped,this book has finally given me an answer to the never-ending horrifying symptoms that have chronically taken my mind and body, which didn't make any sense until now.

The book perfectly explains how these drugs act on you, which symptoms you may suffer, why this happens, and how to get rid of all of it. Unfortunately, it lacks some more precise information on the day by day withdrawal process, and what to do when you are feeling so horrible to avoid falling again.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best benzo withdrawal books!, May 24, 2004

By	Chris Sellick (South Australia,Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this recently and read it in less than an hour.I was on xanax(alprazolam).I found the description of withdrawal symptoms so beneficial.This book covers most areas of withdrawal.Even if you arent able to read for long the sections are short which is good when you can't concerntrate for long.

I also recommend these books:
1)"Coming off tranquilisers,sleeping pills and anti-depressants:a safe and effective withdrawal plan."Also by Shirley Trickett.
2)"The accidental addict:sleeping pills and tranquilisers that make you sick". by Di Porritt & Di Russell.
