In reply to OK, here's a new question for ya, posted by allisonm on May 7, 2002, at 10:36:58
Well if you've had 'intolerable' side-effects on a class of drugs, it makes absolutely no sense to go that direction again- and remember you have the right to say 'no'. You make no reference to addressing your source of stress- are you going to therapy? meditating? exercising? Benzos are fine to take, you shouldn't feel like they are a 'stop-gap', they're a drug like any other and many people take them long term. Another thought- I don't know your age, but many women go through hormonal changes that induce adrenaline that causes symptoms of stress- post-partum (me), peri-menopause, menopause, etc- even changing birth control pills. The point I'm getting at here is not to ignore medical causes either. I hope you feel better soon- Judy
