what? of all docs, a SHRINK should know that anytime a BZD is used for 4 weeks or more, you at least need to taper. And...if its going to dx'd, you need to have a conversation; they shouldn't just say "umm, no more" and leave you hanging. Lame.
Anyway, I say quit the other meds if you want to, but do get some xanax or something. Call a family doc, do what you gotta do.
Other babblers would know more about this but..can't you report this guy? I mean, SERIOUSLY--docs have known for 30+years that a gradual taper is necessary. This is unprofessional, potentially harmful, and seems like a ploy to maintain control, like linkadge said. This sort of behavior is NOT ok.
