Hi Scott,

I'm not familiar with the medications you take. Aren't they mood-altering?

When I insisted on withdrawing at home, my psychiatrist explained to me that the benzos are non-negotiable at this point because withdrawal can be life-threatening, and the only way to prevent this is by taking benzodiazepines. She plans to taper me off in a week - 10 days.
