I didn't know I was on a really high dosage until like 2 years after being on it, going to the hospital and the doctor refusing to give me more than .5 every 6 hours (as if anxiety waits.) and he refused to give me anything more. That was the first time I went into (not full blown) withdrawals. They doctor and nurses didn't even believe me.

I don't know what to do.
Do you take meds for seizures?

Don't they do a slow withdrawal of benzos? I would think they wouldn't put someone into a harsh, sudden withdrawal. I don't blame you for being anxious about that... coming off 8mg/day might be rough.
