I’m shocked and appalled at how many people are going through this…I remember when my doctor reduced my supply of Ativan by more than half without even having a talk about it..he would even leave messages at the pharmacy for me and that’s when I realized I was being shamed by the doctor who made me sound troubled and uncooperative..this was not the case at all…I had to research to find out what was going on…it’s pretty much happening everywhere…I don’t want to say anything that will cause others more anxiety but the data is out there…now I ask myself what my solution is…I’ve battled lung cancer twice since the pandemic and you would think that the doctor is more sympathetic knowing my history but it’s not the case.. I don’t feel that I can cope with everything anymore and go through a benzodiazepine withdrawal.. I should also add that I’m 72 years old and definitely not as tough as I have had to be in my life
