I'm hoping when I call tomorrow morning and ask if it's OK if I stop the Xanax XR and go completely off benzos, his response will be no.
I may not be feeling any therapeutic effects, but the fact that I'm taking the XR means that I'm not in physical withdrawal. If he just let me stop, there'd be risk of seizures and other side effects.
Plus, being the nice doctor that he is, he probably isn't thinking, "Screw you. You didn't like my plan. Now go back to you're terrible GAD, since you've concluded you don't like this med."
