Think this med kills my strength?

Yes, it is I know it from both personal experience and discussing the issue with others.

It is a sedative and CNS depressant. Low CNS=low lifts that easy, end of discussion.

I would stay miles away if I wanted solid gains in the gym, and to echo EX, 4 mgs a day is a damn lot.

I think benzodiazepines would be detrimental to your training if you took them right before a workout. I take them sometimes but not before a workout I dont need to take them everyday. But if you don't feel them at all anymore it sounds like you have a high tolerance and are physically addicted. In that case they probably wouldn't effect your training a whole lot but if you don't need it you should come off of it. Make sure that you come off very slowly because the withdrawl symptoms are bad for benzodiazepines.

Advice appreciated. I didn't know i would feel and look younger. Im mostly ccoming off because I want more strength in the gym and i can tell they have hindered my gains. Shit hate to say it but 4mg's is high but some day's i would take 6. I can't wait till the 14th to start my wean down process with the doc. I think this shit and the BP med's is also what's killing my sex drive?

You Can N O T just stop. Go off slow. Drop from for to three for at least a week. Then from 3 to 2 for annother week. Then from 2 to one for at least annother week.
Then from 1 to 1/2. Then off. If you don't you man get seizures.

I don't believe any doctor would perscribe that much. They would perscribe something else.
