Why don’t anxiety meds work for me?

I also joined benzo buddies. Yes, some of the posts are very frightening. I had to go to the dentist today as I canceled my last 3 appointments due to not being able to get dressed and leave the house. My heart had been pounding for about 15 hours by then and my face was flushed and my head was hot. I didn’t think I could stay in the dental chair. I told the dentist that I would pay additional if they gave me nitrous oxide but the cost had gone up to $300 so I changed my mind.
The Physician’s Assistant canceled my appointment for March 10 as he said reviewing my history of benzos use, he would not prescribe any more. So there goes my last hope of getting a long taper.

I am so sorry that the PA dropped you. Do you have support from the PNP you mentioned? If so I might take an option with him but that's ultimately up to you Claudia. I don't know what your history is but if you have been on them and prescribed for any length of time I would plead with the original prescriber that you must have a continuing safe, long term, slow, gradual taper as recommended by the ASAM. My heart goes out to you every minute in this awful condition and situation you are in 🙏
