Yes they do just stay on it. It would be nice if the doctors who started us on the Benzos and antidepressants could help get us off. I don’t think they really care. It would be too much work for them having multiple patients trying to taper these drugs.

That's a sad state of affairs when these doctors would just rather have you stay on these drugs then to get you off of them. You have to really insist that you want off of them like I did. The one doctor I had a long time ago who got me off the benzos wan't at all like the current doctor I have now because he really wanted to get me off of the benzos and didn't question me at all to if I just wanted to stay on them. He knew they were bad. I guess these doctors just don't want to do anything because it's easier for them when they don't have to bother.
