Morgan, are you now off benzos? I'm a 35 year patient and have been cut off more than once to near death. I'm on low dose now but have two loose teeth after a forced shortish withdrawal. WTF? I'm so so sorry. Benzos are the deadliest withdrawal, finally got new dr last week. HUGS

I wish I had words of comfort other than I'm glad you broke the dependency but good heavens to suffer so as a result is outright criminal. Just ONCE I'd like to hear a doc say "I am so sorry, this is my fault, not yours" and HELP not hurt. Life without quality is pure trauma :(

Psychiatry and psychology are outright bullshit. Psychiatry in the US is the practice of prescribing pharmaceuticals. Psychology is philosophy and morality judgements. All conditions are rooted in anatomy and physiology. DesCartes was a bad philosopher and a worse mathematician.

Well, I think everyone has different experiences and I happen to really like the PhD I have now. We’ve accomplished a lot together but I hate this zoom crap and I’ve back slid. I hope you find someone you can connect with.
