I am so sorry your doctor is dealing with this issue like this. If it’s working for you, at your age, doctor should accommodate you.
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
