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.

I know people who have been on my same dose for 15+ years. It's the only thing that helps me. I don't care that it's addictive. I don't abuse it or see how anyone can get any sort of "high" from them. It never has done anything but help me not freak out when my voices are tormenting me and I can't handle it. Or panic attacks. They're my life saver. I feel like I'm going to turn into a terrified recluse and my health (psychically and mentally) will decline at a very rapid pace. Do I should like a drug seeker if all I want is my refill so I can stay calm? I feel like doctors just dismiss me as a drug seeker but they don't have the medical files for proof. I have my webMD code so doctors can log in and see that I've been taking benzos since 2011. That it's not just a simple withdrawal process. I'm so terrified of how it feels that I'm getting more and more suicidal.
