        @Squishlover I'm training to be a behavior therapist to kids on the spectrum. It's not easy but some days it's worth it.

      I am currently looking for a new doctor in my area that can help me with a slow taper. The one I see now is online and they can't prescribe Benzos anymore so I have been cut drastically after being on them for 15 years. I'm on my last script and freaking out.

        @crazycatladyismyname that's understandable. I'm with a new doctor but so far I'm not so sure. He took me off my ambien, cut back my anxiety meds drastically, and super increased my seroquel by 150mg. I've been so sick this week. I'm barely sleeping which has my anxiety through the roof.

          @Tink3rbelle oh my. Yeah I can totally understand feeling horrible with all that going on! Seroquel was horrible for me. I used to take Ambien, but didn't feel like it worked for me. I hope you get it all straightened out. I'm not sure if you have talked to your Dr, but if not I definitely would let them know how horrible you are feeling. If they upped your Seroquel dose, that can make your anxiety worse for a while. They should not be cutting back on the anxiety med!

      I'm sorry. I hope things get easier for you. I am currently being fast tapered off of my anxiety medicine. Today was horrible. I just finished crying because the withdrawals are horrible.
