Tapering is tough. Maybe they can give you ativan ,it comes in 2mg or 1mg. I was on 10mg and the doctors office didnt like it. ( new department head) Have you tried hydroxyzine 10mg 25mga little sedating but works. Some of my co-workers have gone to zoloft for anxiety and has worked wonders. Stay away from effexor to hard to wean off . Promethazine is a good one if you need to sleep. It can be classified as an antipsychotic ( spell) usually used for car sickness, Can you do a psychiatrist on line that might help you to taper off?. Good luck
