Thank you Craziebabie. My sister takes tranqualizers as prescribed, however she got her first prescribtions in a different country where benzos are handed like candies. Her current "family doctor" just carries on the first doctor's "treatment". She refuses to see a psichiatrist as she knows that they will take her off such high doses. I don't know what to do. I feel very guilty if I leave her when she is really sick, but who knows. I know I could report her doctor to authorities as I can't imagine any doctor in their sound mind prescribing such high doses, however I'm afaraid that they will take her off Cold Turkey which is strongly advised against after being on benzos for years. (Another doctor in our area got in troublewith authorities for prescribing lower then my sister's doses)
