Prolonged benzodiazapine withdrawl(withdrawal)

I have been on Clonopin for Anxiety since being diagnosed with Bi-Polar Syndrome 15 years. For the last 10 years I have been on 8 mg a day, I began to deteriorate healhwise as far as pain, weakness, nerve pain, cognitive disorders, clonic twitching, and a host of other problems that continued to get worse until I was completely housebound. Dozens of test brought a host of diagnoses from a herniated disc, to fibromyalgia, Rhuematoid Arthriitis, Lupus. all except for the heniated disc and Fibromyalgia with further testing were ruled out, but I coninued to get wose. I was in Agonal pain constantly, and unable to sleep more than a few hours a night.Finally I was seen by a Rhuematologist who reduced my Clonopin dosage from 8 mg to 2 mg. Within one month I was suicidal, unable to bear the pain I was in, the horrible anxiety and panic attacks, and the feeling that I had Alzheimers disease as i could barely function metally. Quite by accident, I was seen by a doctor in my Primary care Doctors office who had been through PBWS and immediatly recognized my symptoms, and upon examing my chart and seeing the drastic dosage decrease knew what was wrong with  me, and what needed to be done.. I was put back on the 8 mg of Clonopin for 3 weeks until I was stable and then grardually moved over to Valium. I was horrified to learn that the equivelant dose of 8mg of Clonopin was 160mg of Valium. Only then did I realize the scope of what was to come. It has been 4 months, I am down to 80mg of valium. I have been told by my docor and all the research I could find that it will take at leat a year for the pain amd other symptoms to go away, amd then i must withdraw from the pain medication. I ehave many questions regarding some of the things that are happenning to my body, that other sites on the web say are normal, but I believe may have something to do with the withdrawl (withdrawal). My main question now is that I have a very foul smelling sweat between and under my breasts. I shower every day, I put powder on them, and I cant stay ahead of it. Could it be the tioxins coming out through my skin?
Thank you for listening,

that foul smelling odor between your breasts is known as "bad breasts".
mouthwash won't work, but your partner may need some if he licks you there.
