Some physicins are better than others when it comes to completely getting off benzos. I had an appt with a doctor in pain mgmt that thought I could get off in a matter of weeks. I't's not 6 weeks! It's more like a year or more. I'm doing it myself by just cutting down. The problem is, I have to take some in order to sleep at night, but hopefully I can accomplish this by educating my doctor or getting her to educate herself so she can help me. And yes, to the person who made the comment, we have to have quality sleep.
