i have been taking 4 to 6 mg twice a day for about 4 to 5 years i love it works great, it works, recently my dr. retired and she is tapering me down very slowlyover the next 3 months cuz she says it csuses dementia, she is going to replace it with a med that is not a benzodiazapine and i'm scared to death it won't work what other non habit forming drugs do they have that they know for surevwill work, i'me already freaking out for the day that comes and she stops that med cuz it works well for me
