@jpb4815:
Yes, i also had tremendous trouble getting benzos when my life fell apart in my early thirties and i moved around. I'm now 55. It was nearly impossible in Vancouver (Canadian). There is a big street-drug problem out there. Doctors are very unreasonable about prescribing benzos to strangers. That whole city is hostile to strangers. I got asked if i was an undercover cop at one point. The idea of Vancouver and the reality are sadly very different!
That's partially why i fled Vancouver as soon as i was financially able. I came back to Ontario and my old doctor who was quite reasonable about prescribing benzos. Now i feel well enough to tackle a slow, controlled withdrawal and my doctor is being very supportive.
Vancouver -- what a nightmare!
So important to have a permanent doctor. It's super hard to get a new doctor up here, we're even talking about moving to a public-private mixed health care system and i'm all for it as it surely couldn't get any worse. Our hospitals are like The Third World, no soap even. Argh!
