> I know that no one wants to be on a benzo for whatever reason but I'm just curious.I have tried most things to stop my recurring depressions that are becoming more frequent. I have not been benzo free for twelve years, so it could play a role. A rapid discontinuation doesn't work, the anxiety and the depression are too much to handle.
Going the Ashton way, which I plan todo, will take over six months. If, under that period, there was a stressful event I can't resort to benzos as usual, that would be throwing away months of tapering.
I do not want something to take regularly just for this, amitrip is doing a pretty good job. I'm just thinking ahead, maybe I think too much, I don't know./tensor
