Yes, I know. The sad truth though is that they are moving more and more towards cutting people off benzos, no matter how needed. At some point she's going to be in this situation again. Doctors don't care how much you need the benzos or why. It's an administrative movement to get people off of them, no matter who. So is it better for her to stay on them another year or two and then have to get off of them, or get off of them now?
If A1 can get her medical records to the doctor and he will prescribe benzos, that's her decision to make. She's going to have to come off them at some point - I bet my life on that. It's her decision whether that's now, or at some point down the line after she's been on them even longer.
