My doctor would use them to srart me back on the ADs. The info that I've read on benzos is that daily use after as short as 2-4 weeks can addict some people or the anxiety from them sets in. My concern with that is since I have Anxiety Disorder, that would be a hell of a note for me even though I think it's commonly used to treat anxiety and to start people onto ADs the first 2 weeks or so. My doctor said some of her patients have been on them for years and can't come off. But it's what works for them and they do OK. I think I definitely would have to have them to get past the initial anxieties associated with starting back on ADs after my time off of them.She said that most people after acclimating on the ADs can then taper off of the benzos due to the decrease in anxiety. I used them some back 6 weeks ago before a hernia operation and I was wondering then if some of my increased anxiety may have been coming from needing to take anotner as I spaced them out. They sure helped to calm me down and I can see easily how I could get comfortable with them. Have you ever been on the benzo.org.uk site? This was all news to me!!
