Benzo prescriptions are getting harder and harder to get. One needs to hope their doctor never dies, moves away or retires. The DEA and CDC do not want doctors prescribing Benzos any longer. Much like opioids. Finding a new doctor and getting a new prescription would be very difficult. The fear of being cut off and going into acute withdrawal is what leads a lot of people to taper. And yes doctors can abruptly cut patients off, force a fast taper which can be very detrimental, and a new doctor does not have to give you a prescription just because you’ve been on them for years. Another reason is they just stop working. You hit tolerance and have to keep raising the dose. They will stop working sooner or later. It took 25 years for me.
