Telling me to stop using the web? Excuse me? About a week later I read there was a move by some psych folks to add a syndrome that googlings medications symptoms side effects were all an obsessional disorder not intelligent self learning. Information is what we build the web for.

I'm glad you Googled me that's very kind I had a therapist in Nevada who actually did it on her own look me up and was very respectful as a result I had a very good relationship with her I always look up my treatment providers and medications and whatnot and was told to stop!

That's interesting and we're seeing a little bit of an uptick of unionization here it would be long overdue for Arizona which is right to work state and very anti-union which is something I can't comprehend. Sure make no money and work for no benefits at all woohoo?

That should read .75mg clonazepam. She's got me doing that three times a day at. 25 per dose. It's the lowest it's been in all of those years 38 freaking years. Who's the sick party here?

Where are you at now if I may ask are you still taking benzos or other meds that are given for so-called psych reasons. They put me on Seroquel low dose for sleep I didn't understand what it was at that time next thing I know I have a mood disorder LOL very irresponsible

I had a huge tolerance developed and I had a very active career traveling globally and I still somehow managed to stay together despite that. My husband was a physician's assistant and had been in Vietnam as a Navy corpsman brutal job but he knew how to help me taper down to 1 mg

12 mg clonazepam that's a lot of clonazepam my dear I hope you are better now I know you must have felt like you were fighting your way uphill through split pea soup. The intermediary put me on gabapentin again, hydroxyzine tried to talk me into SSRI I said no and got away

It's a dose related issue when it comes to strength but the differences is that clonazepam has a much longer Half-Life meaning that it will stay in your system much longer and therefore better coverage for symptoms during a taper especially. I don't get any therapeutic results.

I believe the DSM is a weapon of mass destruction. I walked into my new, very nice, and otherwise responsible NP office and there it was. Couldn't help myself just had to say "I see you're reading fiction now!" She looked at me and rolled her eyes. Not the worst reaction 😂

Or a pure judgment from people who think that your behavior is unpleasant for them. I'm not talking about violent behavior or rage and anger rather a chatty little girl. That's all. The shut her up success factor still hasn't kicked in! No more of this crap for me that's for sure
Replacing benzos with antidepressants or for Sleep low dose antipsychotics like olanzapine and Seroquel has been going on for a while. I was coerced into fluoxetine via Eli Lily's lovely pretty pill for PMS,Sarafem. Name says it all doesn't it?

38 years on benzos I'm finally at the last taper and she's going to go slow I found a good Clinic with a supportive NP, therapy, peer support. At my worst they had me up to 10 mg a day of lorazepam I didn't realize that was truly sick. Down to 75 mg clonazepam per day. Thank you!

One of the first talks I saw on YouTube that got me following here on Twitter. Very clear, well articulated to The Point presentation. Unlike some of the covers like from Slate magazine that I saw some people just will not let go of stupid I don't know how else to say it!
