@alh123, that is such a smart thing to do - to start the weaning process ahead of time. I'm sure that will make the process a lot easier. And congratulations on what you've been able to accomplish so far! That is no small feat! I wish I had had more time to do that. I found out I was accepted with only a couple weeks before I start the program. I leave this coming Monday. My suspicion for getting in so quickly to the PRC in Minnesota is that no one wants to go there in the dead of winter! lol 🙂 I can relate with the benzodiazepines. I've been on one of them too for many years and have been told by my psychiatrist that he employs a method that takes about 20 weeks to fully wean off the drug. So, I'm hoping as well that the PRC focuses on the other drugs and not that one. I also, like you, don't want the med weaning to overtake the other aspects of the program.
I hope that you will feel great on the day of your next scheduled interview. Let us know how it goes!
