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!!
