Hi:Well, let me say, I can speak for two instances, my father and myself. We have both used benzodiazepines for over 10 years, with NO problems with tolerance, addiction, or needing to raise the dose. The same dose that helped me 10 years ago, helps me today.
Along with antidepressants, they HAVE saved myself and my father's life. I am *damn* tired of all the anti-med, anti-benzo, anti-this..blah blah.
Medications, with some guidance in therapy, WORK, and yes no med will 'cure' you, but they WILL provide relief. All's you need to do is use some of the insight from therapy, and the combo WILL work.
Your best bet:
Distance...CUT OFF the 'anti-med' people...they are toxic to your well being. You are a grown man..it's NONE of their business! If you had a heart condition, would you not take your medications as prescribed? Fight it (the anti-med rhetoric)...fight AGAINST them. You are much much much worth it...and others NEED you.Take all of your meds as prescribed....and Vallium is MUCH better for you then smoking..of course you know...but it goes to show how stupid THEIR 'anti-med' rhetoric is.
My father and I are quite possibly alive today because of these great meds, and our lives have improved leaps and bounds because of them. That's not just a few months or even a year or so...that is 10 years!
There are many others on here with a similar experience. You *deserve* the best...and the technology of excellent, safe meds WILL help.
Please post for support whenever you need it...heck I'll give you my email addy if you just need to talk. Take your meds and take the healing road...the time has come!Best..and all the strength...
Jay :-)
