TRIGGER WARNING: FRANK DISCUSSION OF SUICIDE
PART 2 OF 2: In this special two-part episode for Benzodiazepine Awareness
Month (July 2017), Andrea is joined by fellow benzo sufferer and former
career woman Heather Solimine to discuss the devastating impact of
benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome (BWS). Both took medications as
prescribed by doctors, and both experienced severe consequences that
changed their lives forever. Heather tells her BWS story of how Lyme
Disease led her down an 8+ year path of reckless polypharmacy (prescription
of multiple drugs simultaneously), and Andrea lays out the chronology of
her own BWS story.
