Why don’t anxiety meds work for me?

Hello Rick, most of the prescribers I have been seeing will not see me anymore as they won’t prescribe any benzos at all. There was only one PNP who would treat me if I agreed to his plan: .5 Ativan morning, .5 Ativan afternoon and 1mg Clonazepam at night for sleep. Knowing of your struggle with Clonazepam, I said that was not what I wanted to do. We left it where I would call him if I changed my mind. I have watched many, many of Dr. Josef’s videos and saw a wonderful documentary of Dr. Ashton describing her tapering method. I think the documentary dated back to the 1950s or 60s. I have been receiving emails from Dr. Josef’s facilities. I contacted him via email to inquire about his program. I mistakenly thought he had opened a location in Tucson, Az., but I was mistaken. He only treats/assists those people who live in a city where he has a program. Tonight is a weird one…I feel liked I am getting the flu (flushed face, headache, pains in my legs and back, stuffy ears) but I know it’s “just my anxiety.’ I wish you well with the taper. Try to find the documentary of Dr. Ashton. I think you’d enjoy watching it.

p.s. so happy to hear back from you. Even though the topic is difficult, hearing from you brightens my day.

Doxepin helped me wean off benzodiazepines a few years ago.
It was actually a happy accident.
