I called the only COMPOUND PHARMACY in San Francisco and was definitely going to go that way. $100 per script, a small amount for peace of mind. I spoke to my Primary Doctor and my Psychiatrist, neither said at tapering from my .125 did not warrant to go that route. My Psychiatrist however never had me on a tapering plan, I just tapered myself. It is very easy to get discouraged and think it's me going through this, they do not understand. In the end, you know best, of course you do need guidance and knowledge. Again I recommend Ashton Manual Benzos.org if that is what you were taking. Being 78, on Lorazepam for over 10 years these past 9 months have been the worst time of my life. So, so many side effects, I had them all. I read, read, and read about withdrawing from Benzos and many times felt I knew more than the Doctor treating me. Unless they are very knowledgeable, which you do not really know, it's a hit and miss.

We may never know what we coulda shoulda done better. I have gained so much knowledge about the drugs I was prescribed and we have to trust ourselves to research, research, and research. Easy to say now after the fact.
