>The medical community is what did this. I never got hooked on anything till the doc gave me this for panic, now im hooked and shes gone and once again the medical profession is not caring about withdrawls.
Now, let's not get into blaming the drugs. Benzos for panic are a totally reasonable and legitimate treatment, and no doctor should be faulted for prescribing them for this indication. The problem is that so many doctors are unwilling to continue your (legitimate and reasonable) prescription because of (often unjustified) legal fears or puritanical attitudes.

=======================================I feel that I must respond in agreement with elizabeth regarding seemingly archaic views on benzos.
A very informative page about panic disorder is worth viewing I think:
http://bearpaw8.tripod.com/pd.html
I'm not sure of the history of disputes about benzos on this bulletin board but this comprehensive overview clarified allot of issues for me regarding panic disorder and it's treatment with medication.
Do you have an opinion of it's content elizabeth?
Would love to know your opinion...
