... I think years ago, too, it was an "easy fix" for doctors... psychiatrist put me on for sleeping and turned me back to fam. dr. who , as I say, kept prescribing for 15 years plus... no questions asked: now you have to try and take yourself off; although nurse practitioner now gives one a day, 30 per prescription, I will never be off them unless they quit making them and infact the Rivotril brand is now made in a different "factory" maybe due to patent run out?

I really don’t think benzodiazepines will ever be taken off the market. The problem is more and more doctors have stopped prescribing to new patients for more than a few weeks and the doctors are forcing existing patients to taper. The CDC and DEA don’t like opioids or Benzos. The doctors are being pressured. My own personal physchiatrist was banned from Walmart several years ago due what they felt was an overprescribing of benzodiazepines. This is what it’s coming to. I have been tapering Xanax for almost 4 years now.
