Oh hell no. I have no desire. We were trying to wean off before the current really bad Conversion Disorder episode that knocked me out of work for six weeks and had me not feeling hunger or thirst, nearly had me passing out, had me unable to really drive, starting screwing with the vision in my left eye, and had my almost unable to use the dominant side of my body.
It's one of the treatments for Conversion Disorder. I'm in therapy for it, but a CD episode was even triggered by a medication given to treat the idiopathic tachycardia.
What got the symptoms to start tapering off to the point where I can return to work is the re-up in the benzo.
