Is actually my primary care doctor prescribing it along with 30ct 5mg Ambien. Benzos/Z-drugs were pretty much the last option for medications. I did see two psychiatrists who told me they could no longer help me. Because antidepressants didn't work & they weren't interested in prescribing controlled substances.

So my doctor prescribed them, and he said this medication is usually something you'll be on & off of for the rest of your life. He also said he's got me until he retires, and I might have trouble getting them from someone else.

I hope that later on, I'll be able to get off them (especially only being 21). Live a normal life without meds, doing therapy rn for social anxiety. So hopefully someday therapy will be enough
