Stargazer, I know your intentions are the best toward Phillipa, but that site is the "extreme" UK anti-benzo site that scared me to death a couple years ago.
Yes, benzos can be bad, but they also can do much good for some of us. That is why we have our own expert pdocs to evaluate us individually, and prescribe what they think is best for the person. Phillipa and I have been on benzos for 20-30 years and in small doses. There is nothing wrong with tapering off slowly OR staying on a small dose if that is what your doctor feel is best for YOU. I consulted two expert pdocs one who is very famous in the world, and he recommended I stay on a small dose of benzo.....they are very safe when used correctly, one of the SAFEST psychiatric meds out there now. Just my humble opinion,
Abby
