My doctor also got gunshot about prescribing .5 once a day. Told me he’d only support taking it every other day. I was relying on it for sleep and it wasn’t working anyway anymore, so I tapered

Thank you for reaching out. I feel betrayed. This is my doctor of 40 years & a man that I greatly respect. I am terrified at the age of 81 to start this withdrawal seemingly without guidance. I retired in 2019 @ 76 hoping to enjoy my final years. The pain of Neuropathy is limiting my movements & I fear that no relief is coming during withdrawal The many side effects of withdrawal are disturbing to me living alone in the country. I don't have enough lifetime left to regain the health that I will lose during this withdrawal period. I was happy with my life going into the doctors meeting, now I'm desperate. There must be a way not to be forced into this withdrawal
Thank you for listening
