Hey Ed,
I will come up with list of questions soon. Does any experts come in here to answer questions? I just wouldn't want to have incorrect info. I am concerned about damage simply b/c the medical community doesn't know everything about these meds. Look at Vioxx now. How do I know I won't suffer down the road b/c of these meds. I have gotten so much better. I always suffered from anxiety and worry but it got worse when I was on the drugs and now that I have come off them. I can tell the difference when it is w/d and normal anxiety. I am going to try DBT and see how that works.I was on ativan for 2 years and 4 months and yes it did help it begin with but I quickly developed a tolerance to it. Benzos should not be prescribed for more than a few weeks yet people are on them for years. The longest time I knew someone on them was for 41 years. My god!! I know meds help alot of people but they also hurt alot too. I just wish the medical commmunity would shape up on their knowledge of drugs.
Thanks for listening.
