Method to get benzos prescribed

[solarpunch]

My physicians assistant I see is trying to cut my benz back. After 7 or 8 years of taking them there playing games again. Said that I cant take both benz and pk's at the same time. Said it can put me in danger. I replied back saying "so you've been putting me in danger for all these years"? He had no good reply back to to that question. Said taking them together can cause respiratory depressions which I am well aware of but that is only at high doses of both medications. I told him I don't take them together since I only take my benz at night time. So he started tapering them. Now I need to go into make another appointment that costs me money and explain that he needs to read my chart from 7-8 years ago as to why I am on benz in the first place. The benefit outweighs the risks IMHO. He was not in my medical life when I was given them and it was a year long process when deciding by a specialist and my primary doctor at the time that benz therapy was an appropriate course of action. I refuse to take anti depressants. But seems like every now and then they like to wanna fill me some for my anxiety/panic disorder. I have to remind them that I will not take them and life goes on. Something tells me this time is going to be more difficult. .. I don't need this stress in my life and the PA is making things much worse now for me and causing unneeded anxiety by being a jerk to his patient. Conclusion to all of this : I hate PA's and think doctors should be the only ones allowed to prescribe.
