I have been on & off Klopin, xanax, even tried buspar. At first the xanax was becoming dependant, so I was switched to Klonopin because of the "half life", "up's and downs"....was told Klonopin was a longer acting drug. The klonopin became addictive and of course dependant. I was honest with my DR. about the dependancy and overuse, so now I am on Librium...which my DR wants me to taper off of over a period of time that I am a little confused about. Here is the GOOD thing. After years of trying all different psych meds for my PTSD/Anxiety, the Librium actually works better than all of them...I don't feel dependant, I take as directed, and FINALLY the PTSD/Anxiety is UNDER CONTROL....with out the typical BENZO issue...I take Lamictle, which I really don't know that it helps but DR INSISTS I take it, along with Wellbutrin, and a Concerta if I feel I need it. I am 35 this month, have struggled my whole life with Anxiety/PTSD, why do DR's always want you to try something else first even though I have had "Reactions", meds that DID NOT work....I feel like I have no rights or say what really works for me, the Librium has "CHANGED MY LIFE" do I have any rights at all, that I feel my PSYCH meds are finally working, and that I want to keep it this way?
