Hi Sears, thank you for reaching out to me, I posted a rather lengthy message but it came from the heart combined with undo stress. When I said that he put me in the care of the pharmacy it meant that he didn’t want to deal with me regarding my benzodiazepine, so now he provides me with the allotted amount I’m given and the pharmacy will advise me when I’m permitted to pick up my prescription. I truly feel demeaned by this process but at least I’m not having to get into ongoing arguments about my dosage and how long I have to wait for a refill. In the long run it’s less stressful for both of us, he’s not abandoning me as my doctor which is more than I can say for others who were. I have issues with some of the staff at the pharmacy who are often too vocal about my situation and I don’t need this, frankly it’s none of their business, I get my therapy from those who are experienced in this field.

Taking a benzodiazepine nowadays is not for the feint of heart. It’s getting worse everyday. I am so happy I am no longer dependent on a benzo. It wasn’t easy getting off but totally worth it. There’s absolutely no way I could live not knowing if or when a doctor was going to yank my script. I now use propanolol as needed for anxiety, and must say it’s been very helpful.
