Dr Taking Me Off Diazepam 5mg Suddenly And Quickly!

I have been having a ton of bad luck with doctors lately :( Then as I found a great therapist to begin work treating my CPTSD the other doc decided they were not going to prescribe me valium anymore. No real reason given, I've been on them for about 10 years for anxiety/CNS issues.
So she gave me 11 pills @2mg to get off completely. This seems very quick/low dose to me. Nervous as heck!
Any help appreciated.

While I understand it doesn't really help you, no doctor is obligated to prescribe you any given medication. They are also not required to treat you, unless your are in life-threatening danger.

Yes, that is a low dose and they are expecting you to get off of it very quickly, but they are allowed to do so.

If it is too fast for you, there is a risk of your experience rebound anxiety, panics, and seizures, according to FDA reports.

How are you doing? Has there been any change?
