You are very lucky to find any medical professional to support you . I went thru so many, even my pharmacist I have known for or thirty year accused me of Dr shopping! So rude and ignorant. Had to change Insurance and could only go thru one Dr and he has been a blessing as far as keeping me my prescriptions going. And going slow is so important in getting off this poison. Not what I want to be doing as I get older. I wasted so much time after my husband passed. Lost him and lost myself with this drug. Thank you for your reply. Hopefully you are off of this . Twenty years is a long time. Thank you again.

@ellerchim Yes, I felt lucky to find someone willing to help me without judgment. I had to gear up courage to ask b/c I was embarrassed and even ashamed to be addicted. I was shocked to learn HOW addictive benzos are and how little time it takes to get hooked. All of the prescribing MDs should lose their licenses, IMO. So much for "do no harm." That was so rude and unprofessional of your pharmacist to accuse you like that. I hope you took your business elsewhere.
I am off of clonezapam and you will get off of benzodiazepines, too. It's hard and it does take a long time, but I am living proof that it can be done. < 3
