I can understand that it’s scary and you’re not alone, I personally don’t want to stop taking it because it works very well for me, I have tried so many other medications and they just didn’t work for me. I never really knew that there’s a big problem going on until I came here and read all the stories that people told about their experiences, I also realize that they were being pressured by the doctors to get off them and that’s what was causing this. I don’t know why the powers that be are doing this but I’m sure they have their reasons, I don’t want to fix what isn’t broken and hopefully I won’t get pushed into this very difficult situation.

I can 100% see where your coming from! My anxiety and panic attacks were not a daily occurrence prior to taking this med but if they were i would not want to get off it either! I do believe there are some patients who NEED it daily or prn and that is what its designed for. I guess i just dont inherently believe i am one of those patients. I think i just used it as a crutch for an extended period for everyday stressors and developed a dependency and need to end it before it goes any further. Again, thank you so much for your responses. Sometimes just talking about it with people who understand is helpful!!
