This site is a totally unmoderated circus, a cesspool of madness. It is a like entering a madhouse. The expression "the lunatics are running the asylum" comes to mind. I've never seen anything like it.

I had to put software to block it on our computers because my kids were getting nightmares! There were scary pictures and a guy named "Flick" talking about drugs, dancing, and a very strange diet. Another one is a person with an avatar of a rodent who tried to jump off a bridge but the rope broke - he feel 25 feet! Thank God he lived. This member, with the rodent avatar (he claims to have 27 small rodents as pets), tells strangers - many of whom are psychiatric patients and on medication already - to take certain pills (he calls them supplements but my doctor called them drugs). Warning: there is a member who goes by the screen name "Befuddled" and I was told he is a registered ___ offender. He had an avatar of the disgusting porn star Ron Jeremy (someone told me what he was famous for and I almost puked). It goes on and on. Depravity? Yes. The very depths of depravity.

This is a site where you're supposed to feel safe withdrawing from drugs?!?!?! Run the other way!

I am told that the owner doesn't care at all. I was told he gambles away the donation money at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. I've seen the owner leave personal information of members up on the site for days. Don't give anyone your real name or telephone number there or it will end up in the hands of predators. The owner needs to be investigated by the authorities. Many have said the donation money is used for gambling purposes.

Members get harassed, called names, people are allowed to advocate drug use, share personal information, spew hatred. When I was there it was nothing but constant flame wars and baiting.

If you're sick from drug withdrawal please don't go there. My doctor told me the medical advice there was 100% wrong and hurting people. One of the members ended up in a mental ward after a few weeks there. Another went back on drugs after a few episodes there. There have been many rumors of suicides. I feel that the FDA needs to look at the medical advice being handed out there daily by people who have mental illness to other people with mental illness and the FDA needs to step in an close the site down. It is that bad.

Stay away.

Yeah, that site sucks big time. My friend got some really bad advice about his klonopoin and he got real sick from it. There's a few guys on there that make pro drug posts every day. Kinda defeats the purpose of a drug withdrawal forum. They should call the place druggie central.
No moderation at all here so if you want a playground for the insane and you're insane this is your place. People calling each other names, crazy people giving out dangerous medical advice like they're doctors. There's even a guy there who poses as a doctor and gives advice and diagnoses people with mental illnesses. The administrators and moderators never post. Legitimate questions turn into fights and bashing every time.
One woman who was a member there killed herself a few months ago because of all the negative and psychotic brainwashing people did to her on her blog. Besides that people talk about suicide, drinking, taking a ton of bizarre supplements, etc. It's more like a pro drug place, where you can talk about your drug experiements.
Anywone getting off benzos run away from this place as fast as you can. They'll make you nuts. By all means have at it if you are already nuts or decide you want to go completely crazy.

The man making all of these complaints against benzowithdrawal.com is only mad because he got banned for making multiple accounts. That's right, he was pretending to be several people, including women. His original account name was mike59. After he was banned, he created a hate blog attacking everyone in the benzo community, even posting their personal info. The only one you need to watch out for is him. His real name is /name removed/ 54 yrs old, from Miwaukee, WI. You can look his criminal record up here: http://wcca.wicourts.gov/index.xsl

It is very obvious the same person made both the original post, AND the comment telling the lies about benzowithdrawal.com. See how he works? He's doing on here exactly what he was banned for doing at benzowithdrawal.com.

The man who created this website is, indeed, /name removed/. He creates many false identities on benzodiazepine withdrawal forums, blogs, websites, and on YOUTUBE! Yes, he has been banned from such forums, as well he should be. He gives out preposterous information. He harasses forum members. He maligns them. His blogs and websites are crude and lewd. The man should be banned from the entire Internet! He has hurt many by giving out personal information, posting the personal information, snagging photos of people and photo editing them and creating lewd images of them. His blogs and sites should be avoided. It is his blogs and his sites that would scare children. The man is a liar and a sociopath. The www.benzowithdrawal.com site is there to be of assistance to people who are withdrawing from benzodiazepines. This site is has helped hundreds, if not thousands, of people. Ignore the mans comments.

Dropping names here is Donny the doofus. He is a sick psychopathic liar who tries to destroy the serenity of sick people, makes fake accounts everywhere to blame it on some guy who doesn't like the reviewed site.
Sicko fat guy who has no life named Donny who doesn't care about people, goes on tons of help sites to scare all the people who are trying to get well and doesn't give a rats ### about those people because he has self-serving agendas to destroy people and good things. This guy is a sick son-of-a-### so watch out for djdonee who pretends to be lots of other people, tries to be your friend, makes up fake personnas etc. I have some news for you people who read this that I found out through a lot of digging. djdonee is really a small time criminal and convicted drug felon from Alabama. He is an alcoholic who has had several DUIs, been arrested for domestic abuse and has snowed all of you into thinking he is a caring and nice guy. No joke and no paranoia reaction. This guy is a sicko criminal psychopath who will hurt anyone who gets in the way of his hate agenda. He pretends to be someone he is not. Watch out for this hoser wherever you go. Lots of fake profiles everywhere on the net and will make a fake one of you on Facebook if he gets any of your info and try to blame it on his target. Sick, Sick person with no life and no friends, no job, nothing and is currently eating and drinking himself to death.

This djdonee tried to sell drugs to a few people. I reported him to the cops. That is what goes on at this benzo site. Lots of KKK members hang out there. Women get harassed, personal info goes out. The admin is a drunken gambler named Andrew who takes the donation $$$ to Vegas on gambling binges. His partner is some sicko named Sue (like the Johnny Cash song) and she's in some cult too. One guy there follows Manson. He is called Flick. He brags how he grows weed on his porch and sells it at playgrounds.

Mike59 is only part of the problem there. There are many other liars and back stabbers like Zoe, TexWatson, Mark49, and Ronald. Both Ronald and Mark49 are none other than Scott (Mike59) himelf. I see Ronald finally got caught and was banned. There folks are all dirtbags. I quit going to the site 6 months ago. It is a very dangerous site and many of those people are mentally ill and still on drugs. If you want to get off benzos, just go to Professor Ashton's site and read. That is all you really need. Stay away from benzowithdrawal.com. That place is like the wild, wild west. The forum admin is very stupid and he has one moderater named Sue who is computer illiterate amd totally ineffective as a mod. Zoe use to be a dear friend of Mike59 by the way until he turned on her. He has her ugly picture plastered all over the internet and I mean she is butt ugly. Like Mike59 said, she will have to live and die. No man will ever want her.

Jason273 you are so right regarding the site and the people you've listed. That whole group is made up of a bunch of dysfunctonal addicts and alcoholics that have no business running a benzowithdrawal site. There are plenty of very professional safe sites on the net. www.benzofreedom.com being one.

The site doesn't exist anymore. I looked it up. Apparently the site wasn't a good one or it would still be there.

Thanks truthteller. I am sending out an e-mail now to iPage. I think others should all do the same. This screwball is a real menace to society. Look at what I found. Many people have already seen this. Click on image to make it bigger for viewing.

The offense date was [protected]. I think this was before his ban @ BW.com. He was posting to that forum hundreds of times per day and then still had time to commit the criminal offense. I wonder if Barbara knows about his hate website and sick obsession.

Whoever you are, Donna45, you need to get some help for your paranoid schizophrenia. What is obvious about my post being someone else in your imagination? This is just validation that it was a good thing this site has closed down.

mike59, who ever the jerk is has nothing better to do in his life but harrass people that are ill from over prescribed benzodiazepines. he posted on the internet about my wife's suicide from xanax withdrawal and is even hacking into my youtube account. he is a drug addict himself that got banned from every help forum there is because he is a ###. scott why don't you plant some flowers or go fishing do something constructive with your life? to attack people who are looking for help is demented bs. to go to the trouble of starting a website just for this purpose is insane. you can't even see what these drugs have done to you. one day you may realize how dangerous and addictive benzo's are. doctors don't have a clue how to help you because the "big pharma" companies pay them to write prescriptions. see "the medicated child" a doctor wants to prescribe a three year old xanax! it is a worldwide epidemic and thanks for bringing attention to it in your sick demented way. take your medication scott gaulke!

the people posting in favor of the complaint are one in the same "scott gaulkie". same bs different day. go outside scott and take a deep breath. get off the benzos and get a life. the benzo forums help people more than they hurt them. give people enough credit to know when they get bad advice. benzos cause suicides. not the people on the forums trying to help, get it scott gualkie?
