1979!: Warning you against long-term use is pointless. But it is NOT recommended. Discuss w/ Dr for why. Your immediate w/drawal reaction might be nocebo - fear reaction. In any case, consider adding CBT therapy to optimize benefits. Do not increase dose or freq! If you want to know more, here's info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_long-term_benzodiazepine_use Don't worry, but do discuss. Best
