I hate benzo's, the withdrawal keeps me dependent. I was prescribed Ativan for social anxiety in school, then it got combined with Klonopins. Im now on a low dose of valium and I have barely left the house in months. My anxiety has only gotten worse from the start. I had to drop out of High School because of this. The Dr. I had was worthless, he would get mad if i came to him with a problem or side-effect from the drugs he put me on because i was wasting his time. Eh he would make me wait while he takes extended lunch breaks. That was about 4 years ago and now i feel like im approaching rock bottom. My own private hell.
