> Yeah...Thank God I have a Great Pdoc. He even told me the other day "If it takes a year, it takes a year, we're not in a race here." I've heard others talk about how their Doc says, "Here's a prescription for 60 and that's all you're going to get. My doc really understands anxiety and how awful it can be.
And how though I believe in benzodiazepines as one of the safest psych medications when used properly, tapering is necessary to avoid unnecesary withdrawal symptoms, as I well know, when I tried cold turkey on something years ago.. scalp spasms -- which may still be active for many years -- and I wasnt given enough back. Even though I still believe in the medications as they have useful place in a lot of disorders, the here's the 60 is an awful way to go. Glad your doc understands... good luck.
> Take care Jay.
You too
