[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 687094, member: 1963"] It wasnt until I had my place up north on the market and had found that my options on finding a private psychiatrist that took my gov't insurace were slim to none. I realized i would have to use county services again. My shrink up north said he'd write me for 6 months of everything to give me time to find a new psychiatrist. Then, my psychiatrist up here said, "Under no circumstances try to stop the benzos on your own; even if you don't have a seizure and die, you could be left brain damaged. So that's where I'm at 1mg Lorazepam 2-3 per day and 30mgs of Temazepam at bedtime. I'd like to get off of them for good, but I'd need to do it inpatient with close medical supervision. The irony is that I don't abuse the pills. I take them as prescribed. I followed dr.s' orders all along and still got hooked. I live in fear of getting cut off. The idea of benzo withdrawal scares the crap out of me. [/QUOTE]
