I’m lying in bed trying to stop the daily morning panic attack since finally finished tapering off a prescribed Benzo 3 weeks ago. I did an extremely slow taper off 2 Benzos and I had to hold many times due to my inability to deal with the symptoms—I have extreme health anxiety now. Anyway, I have used TMS to get rid of several health issues prior to Benzo withdrawal, so I have wondered if my current scary as hell panic attacks are due to TMS or is it just typical withdrawal off Benzo. I have extreme fear now that I am finally off (it took me 7 years due to my inability to tolerate symptoms ) and the panic attacks and multiple other symptoms are so scary that I’m considering getting back on a therapeutic dose. Or would that be a very bad choice? PS. I have a therapist, 2 Benzo coaches, and an energy worker. I also have all of the TMS books you referenced, but I haven’t read them since tapering off Benzos.

So sorry you're in that spot. I'm not qualified to offer specific advice on that. These are the things that people have to decide for themselves even though the choices can be beyond difficult.
