Yes wont repeat story here but pressured and cut off Benzo.. didnt even know it was one til Feb.2019.... wanted me off after last 5 pills afterover fifteenyears one a day and no questions asked. then gp put me on half a day and i spilled drink over a FEW and needed before end of month and he refused. Pharmacist came to my rescue as he knew I dont abuse meds. After a couple of months he, gp, got mad at me , long story, i telephoned ontario college of physicians and surgeons to get advise not about pills but he raised his voice and discussed my case in front of people in waiting room, one of whom was my ex husbands ex wiife! Was in office later just he and receptionist and he again lambasted me. College was great i did not put in complaint but they phoned him, next visit he let me go from practice and there is more. My pharmacist said i was not addicted but body now dependent on it... for sleep. Long story short a specialist in another field has renewed my one a day pill and at 77 I hope it takes me to my death. I have a laundry list of other physical illnesses and had depression for past 2 years etc. ... WHY all of a sudden get rid of those pills.. have you read the information sheets in with some of the medications they are now prescribe for all kinds of ailments....some side effects being blindness, neuropathy, seizures etc etc etc.., no worse than Clonazepam in my humble opinion. There is more to the story.. I think they want us of inexpensive Clonazepam and put us on higher priced drugs? Not sure... but there is a reason behind this and I would love to know what it is. J.

Most antidepressants are just as bad if not worse than any benzodiazepine. One becomes extremely dependent on these meds and they are hell to get off of. Also they really do nothing for debilitating anxiety.

Life is just to darn complicated. Sounds like a bit of a mess. What to do???CDB helps with anxiety in my case, though I rarely take it. Wonder if I can take it after the vaccine. Too calm the fear.
