Blueberry I definitely agree that benzos increased the frequency and intensity of my panic attacks. Getting off them was the right thing to do. I took myself off back in the 90’s but I needed to get off AD too before I was able to stabilize. Less is definitely best for me. The funny thing was that the pdocs didn’t agree with me, they kept saying I needed the benzos. Now days pdocs are reluctant to prescribe benzos but mostly cause it’s frowned on. It’s my opinion that too much medicine can cause physical medical problems. Doctors need to stop one or two meds and have a waiting time before introducing another med. this adding and adding meds is wrong. Just too many interactions that are unknown.
