That is my worse fear. That I will be forced off of it cold turkey. My mental health clinic already has a pretty strong anti benzo policy. It was only after a year of trying other things and me demanding it that they gave me klonopin.
The government and psychiatric community seem to be leaning towards no benzo's at all period. I personally think that would be unethical because they are the only thing that works. I really wish they would have put more research into other safer things but they seem to not be doing anything on that front.
