I was prescribed it for panic attacks, along with beta blockers.
Today is the first day in my memory that I do not have any drugs or alcohol in my system that are not medically prescribed and taken as prescribed. I am not over-using anything, or self medicating. Although I probably did eat too much chocolate...
I am nervous and worried I will feel bad.
You can do it!
I was on benzos for thirty years. Currently into seventh month totally off them,after a very long taper.
Make sure the medics deal with any taper issues.......
Don't worry about the choccies.
