The problem with benzos, as I stated in my original post, is that they excite the alcoholic part of my brain. I drank way too much coffee in a 2 week period and ended up taking a benzo to wipe out an anxiety attack episode (not a panic attack) and it worked. But I was very close after that to drinking again (after a year of sobriety) as that part of my brain had been reengaged due to a single .05 ativan. I went to meetings, made phone calls, worked the program and prayed and got through it. Took about a week.
So benzos are OUT for me. Then the doctor prescribed me a drug that lowers blood pressure KNOWING I have psiorisis and rhematoid arthiritis with psiorisis on my feet. If I ever took what he gave me it would make my condition much worse. So I threw it in the trash wondered where these guys get their medical degrees from and went on my way. Oh he made sure to trash my degree because it wasn't from a la de da university as he handed me my misdiagnosed prescription.
He should be a politician working on the stimulus. Anyways. It is what it is. Have a nice day.
