I had taken benzos in the past and was even told by a pdoc who didnt like prescribing benzos that I was a patient who needed long term benzo treatment. Ive come off this stuff often and eventually come back on. But this time, after a month of being off of it, had panic and extreme paranoia, didnt eat, slept 3 or 4 hrs a night and felt tired and anxious all day. The doc put me back on regular scheduled valium and im kind of nervous. Is it true that some ppl need long term benzo treatment? Im just worried in 5 yrs ill move to a new city and the new pdoc will say, "benzos are addictive, im going to taper you off." Thats how it always happens.
