> It's things like this that make me not want to trust my Pdoc. He won't even try benzos for me. GRRR. When do you just get a new pdoc?
******************************************Sounds like right away. I sacked 3 before I found one that wasn't an idealogue trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Those that don't offer BZD's on an equal footing with all other treatments for anxiety are simply ignorant of the facts or are prejudiced...or highly influenced by the strident anti-benzo/ - anti/choice lobby.
Find a doc that gives you ALL the choices and informs you of ALL the risks out there...preferably a specialist that treats anxiety disorders as a main part of their practice and considers BZD monotherapy on equal footing with any other med for anxiety.
Second and third opinions are sought from doctors about life changing illnesses every day. Why any different for the anxiety disorders? Be your own advocate.
