Thank you so much for your kind words... And your concern may god bless you...  I have an appointment with my pdoc on March 4th....  I am going tell him that I want off this poison, and if he doesn't comply sianora Quack!!!!  Thanks for ruining my mind....  I am so disgusted with the health care system we have in Canada....  Doctors are so quick to prescribe these horrible pills.... I call them Brain Bombs.......  LOL ... I am scared that I am losing my mind going Schizo or something..... I hope not....  God Forbid... I just want to be happy again you know.... But I am going to stop blabbering I just hope I can make it through this nightmare.... I know there alot of people out there besides myself, who are going through this purgatory..... I Pray to the lord god in heaven that he will help us all....    God Bless You Greenlydia PEACE()

Hey Nate,
Just dropping in to see if you have found a good doc to help you taper off the meds yet? And if so, how is it going?
Please let us know.
And know that your experience of w/d will be of invaluable help to so many on this forum who are also either going through the same battle or are in need of support to find the courage to begin the process.
I hope you are doing well and will look for some posts from you.
Peace

Thank you for your response.... Yeah I am really scared and I almost feel like a fool for letting a doctor ruin my life... Take my mind and physical well being from me.. But I am scared even though I really want to get off of these pills... I have heard nothing but negative experiences regarding withdrawl... I just want me back.. I cannot hold a train of thought anymore, no energy,extremely lethargic, I tried tapering off Ativan on my own and I started hallucinating... But you are right my friend I need a new Pdoc.. This one is a tool....   Thank You Greenlydia and may God Bless....

As my good friend Monty Python would say.........."RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!" from the psych you are currently with. Find one that is well versed in benzo withdrawl and get your life back!
You've taken the first and most important step in realizing that things have gotten out of control and are seeking help.............kudos for you my friend! With that goal in mind, you WILL do very well. We all wish you luck and know that we're always here if you need to talk, vent, rant...........whatever.
Peace

I agree with Ella.  Sounds like you need to find another psych.  I am surprised that a psychiatrist would but you on two different benzos.  If you really want to get off of them, find another dr. who will help you taper off of them.

Hi, I don't have any advice as far as the meds or getting off them but have you thought about getting another Psych ? If the one your dealing with doesn't seem to be working for you maybe you could get a referral to someone better ? I'm not sure what you mean about involuntarily dependant, could you explain that farther ? I'm sure someone on here can give u more advice than i did. There are lots of great knowledgeable people on this forum and are willing to give input or suggestions when ever they can.
Hope you find the answers your looking for.
God Bless
Ella
