You are so right. When anxiety becomes so overwhelming you will do just about anything. I am happy that your Dad has found a drug that works for him. My doctor and I are still (after 2 years) trying to find the best drug for me. I am a hypocondriate and it is so hard to put anything out of your mind once set on it. I try so hard to cope but sometimes it is so overwhelming. My husband is an angel and works
with me daily. God bless you sweetheart for caring so much but sometimes you have to just be so glad that your Dad has found the right medication for him. It sure doesn't look so good for me. But I will continue to keep "trying" hoping that sometime soon my doctor and I will fine the medication that works for me. God Bless

If you are in the US which I’m assuming you are, I’m sure you would have better access to good shrinks and rehab centers so I think you would be in better hands. It’s just in Malaysia I’m stuck. I don’t have a job at the moment so I can’t even save up to send him to a good center in the US. Anyways thanks for the words of encouragement.

Seems like you’re on valium too. May I know how Long and how much you’re taking? Sorry if it sounded like I was bashing valium takers. I’m not. I’m genuinely concerned because I know every drug you take for an extended period of time will have side effects. I can’t even Google benzo side effects because I’ll spiral into worry when I read them. I just don’t want him to become a vegetable later in life. As far as I know there aren’t any good benzo specific withdrawal centers in Malaysia either. And it would be impossible for us to seek rehab for my dad in the US or elsewhere at the moment. I just worry every night he will have a heart attack or blood clot. Thank you so much for your words of wisdom. It feels so much better knowing there are others struggling with the same issue and I can only hope to find the answer one day. I wish you the very best.
