Is your doctor insisting you stop taking benzos completely or was it your idea? Every new doctor I get wants me off the benzos but they are all that work for my anxiety. Right now I am on a lowered dosage from 3mg a day to 2mg a day because I just got a new doctor, I told her I would try it. I am a little edgy but nothing terrible, but then again I have had a very calm last few weeks.
The doctor does not believe in benzos at all, just for emergencies, but I feel much better when I take them. Before I took benzos I was actually fine, just manicy. I don't deal with severe anxiety because of the Seroquel. I am laying on my bed watching Netflix all day since I'm coming off of it.
