Ok so even though I am only taking 2mg diazepam as and when needed and took no more than 80 in almost 4 months my understanding is they are no good and to stop.

I start CBT Tuesday and really due to my situation at the moment the likes of meditation, yoga, tai chi is out the picture. I am eating healthier and also taking supplements daily (magnesium, allicin, pro biotic, cod liver oil, coq10, cold pressed black seed oil, turmeric and every other day vit b and vit d) plus have started a weight managemnt program, I am still taking sertraline and was taking diazepam when needed but after several on here advising me against the diazepam (I do understand why) I have looked and found that L-Theanine has similar effects supposedly (calming, anti anxiety, relaxing) has anyine tried this?

But my concern is yet again it effects the gaba so wouldn't this have the same withdrawls as the benzo? Also I doubt there is any where near the same amount of research gone into it as there has the benzob
