@raspberrytorte I am so sorry about your daughter! I always worry about my daughter inheriting mental disorder stuff from me. Already she has sleep issues and high anxiety. And I keep thinking my bipolar didn't really start in full gear until I was 18 or 19, and she's 17 now. Have you seen about getting your daughter a T? As for coming off the benzo, it's best to lay it out there for your psychiatrist, trust her whether your inclination is to or not and see if she's with the plan or not. Maybe just tell her you want to try a small decrease, not come off completely and see how it goes...then when you feel stable on that, ask to try another small decrease?
