Told my husband what I was doing with my diazy's and he got PISSED. Told me to start taking my full dose again, despite my protests that it was just diazepam. He insisted I had to go through my psychiatrist, and I don't want to do that because she just takes me off things cold turkey!

I don't LIKE being on a fudging controlled substance. Ugh!!!! I know I need it, but it's only a matter of time before I get some moron who's going to take me off it in a week. I'd rather do it myself, at my own pace!

Okay. Ranting over. Lol.
I understand. But a lot of psychiatrists will take you off slowly. Mine is. I haven't started yet but will.
