TL;DR: After more than a year off benzodiazepines and dealing with protracted withdrawal, I spent a long time researching flumazenil and planning how I would approach it. I decided to try a low-dose transdermal preparation as a personal experiment and went very slowly, carefully planning each step and keeping track of how I felt. This post explains the reasoning behind my approach, what I planned for, and what I actually did. This is my personal experience, not a recommendation or medical protocol.

This is the story of how I found flumazenil, what I learned along the way, and what happened when I finally tried it.
