@elwoodsdad .... thing is they (drs) are taking people off it left, right and centre, with no assistance. If someone wants to come off it, or for some reason dr. feels that way - knowing how hard it is for some people to come off it, provide the darn help for them. I am back on it and dont know what I will do if the dr takes me off with no help - jump in the lake I suppose (once the ice is off). Seriously though, my Mum was in UK and I was here and the dr. took her off her sleeping tablets cold turkey and my sister in law said my Mum - older by then - barely slept for 2 weeks.... how cruel!!! Do it if they have to but: what about "do no harm" J.

What will you do if your doctor decides for you that you need to taper and quits writing your script? More and more regulations are coming down the pike regarding benzodiazepines.
