In all fairness, I should have included the fact that I consulted the physician (a psychiatrist recommended by a member of your staff) I mentioned who prescribes your protocol for help with gradual tapering of diazepam to which I have become addicted after having been given them by my GP for panic attacks caused by severe work-related stress.
I can understand the need for supplements for up to a year or so for repairing damage to neurotransmitters and rebalancing them. But indefinite taking of such supplements raised several concerns for me as I know individuals, including a physician, who have used an orthomolecular approach to succcessfully taper benzodiazepines and SSRIs. However, they have not needed to take supplements for tapering beyond six months to a year. It was because of these concerns of mine that I began doing more research and found Dr.Sahelian's comments in reply to your e-mail.
