@missstubborn - So glad you were able to get off of this med. It's addictive, people just don't realize that they are dependent on it, and it doesn't take long before that occurs! In my opinion, it's an absolutely rediculous practicew for any provider to write a script for this terrible Benzo. Younger docs have been taught in medical school that it's crap, based upon what I've learned.

I will say once again, I have 3 physicains in my family and two are the brightest of the bright, both at John Hopkins and one of them told me a couple of years ago - Be your own advocate because I can't believe what I've seen in my profession. The nutty doc that put me on this med had no clue what he was prescribing - absolutely none! Best to you!
