Thanks so much David, for the advice and for the hope. Means a lot, as I'm sure you understand.

Some good news, I'm at the gym everyday and I spin every 5-6 days for cardio and metabolic health, and work with a trainer 2x/week for weight and core. In all humility, I'm very fit for a 70 y/o guy. I ran marathons in my 30s and 40s and took fitness back up, in earnest, about four years ago.

And somewhere along the way, I started taking clonazepam. (That's another story.......). I don't take a lot, but getting off altogether is hard.

Exercise always lifts my mood and will be useful in a taper. Thanks again, David.

Joe
