You know, there is something else bothering me. I KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt I need legal help. I do. However, all the people in my life are pushing me to get a D very quickly. One person even said, the one who jumps first, wins. I thought to myself, wins? What do they win? There is no winning in this situation. Only losers. Will I likely wind up with a D? Probably. However, I want it to be on my terms, when I am ready. Does that make sense? Or am I just kidding myself?
It makes perfect sense and you are not kidding yourself. If you haven't read DR in a while then thumb through it and read the chapter on this, I forget which it is but it's near the beginning of the book. It talks about how those around us believe D is in our best interests so we can end the pain and move on. Unfortunately D brings all new pain, but our support group doesn't realize it. What they think will improve us usually just makes things worse.

I had the same issue with the Ativan I was prescribed for anxiety attacks. It worked, but I would be dizzy and loopy after taking it. So I tried half a pill, better but still loopy. So then I tried 1/4 pill and it worked perfectly. It stopped the anxiety with no odd side effects. You might try a reduced dose like that. I only had to take it temporarily, last time was over 2 months ago. If it's a benzo then only take it when you need it. They are highly addictive.
