Historia
When a trusted physician tells Renée Schuls-Jacobson that he has the solution for her chronic insomnia - a “tried and true medication without any side effects", she believes him. For seven years, she takes her clonazepam exactly as prescribed until, one day, she learns that her doctor is wrong: Long-term benzodiazepine use causes all kinds of problems including profound changes in brain function. While healing from an iatrogenic brain injury that is not widely recognized by doctors, Renée leaves everything familiar behind and goes on a journey.

I listened to this book a couple of times and even spoke a little bit with Renee. Four years ago I was quickly (5days) tapered off benzos in a treatment center and my life has been drastically changed ever since. I've been so unbelievably traumatized and disabled from these medications, and from the lack of experience medical professionals have when dealing with patients coming off of it. I was treated so horribly and wouldn't wish my experience on anyone. For the last four years, I've been trying to act like nothing happened to me, just stuffing it all in and trying to move on with life even though I STILL have a hard time functioning normal. I've been trying (and failing) to act like I'm just fine, because everyone invalidated my entire experience and the pain I've been dealing with. It wasn't until stumbling upon Renee's book that I really, truly felt heard, seen, and VALIDATED. It has been a game changer for me. I've had my parents and family members listen to clips of the book, and I've explained the information I've learned and it has really helped with my healing process. Eventually I hope to speak with Renee about my story, but my anxiety is still very high right now. But thank you so much for sharing your story with the world Renee. I'm not very good with words and still have a hard time expressing myself BUT I know this book will change lives because it has changed mine and I now know I was never alone in any of this. I HIGHLY recommend this book to everyone! Even if you have never taken benzos, it's worth being aware of the dangers of these meds!
