I don't find your situation a joke. It is unfortunate and common.
What I do find a joke is people not wanting to listen to the professional advice of a trained medical doctor and instead seeking the answer they want to hear on the Internet. OF COURSE they will find the opinion they want on the Internet.
Google "withdrawal symptoms benzo" and you will get 336,000 results. OF COURSE a person will find the answer they want to hear, rather than advice provided by persons actually qualified to give such advice.
If you don't like your current doctor and you want advice on Benzo drugs withdrawal symptoms that is reliable, seek opinions from other trained medical professionals. If you do happen to locate a reliable source, i.e. a source authored by a medical doctor saying it should be tapered, then reach out to that specific individual for advice.
I took an overdose in December and ended up in ER as the continuous pain is so bad.
And how did that happen? You are extremely experienced at taking medicine, over 10 years, right? And you were completely off all medications by September, right? And your doctor, the medically trained professional told you to take paracetamol. You overdosed on paracetamol? If you were trying to self-harm, that is unfortunate and you should continue to seek professional treatment from professionals.
Hope you never have to experience it. Or maybe hope you do then you wouldn`t joke about it. Idiot.
Nope. It won't ever happen unless by some odd circumstance I found myself captured by aliens and forced to take medications. But, no worries...I have experienced my share of pain in life and certainly there is more to come. It is not the pain that matters, it is how you handle the pain. At least that is what I have found.
What I recommend is you seek advice from other medical professionals, other doctors. The same as you can shop the Internet for whatever answer you want, you can shop doctors as well. But, get off the Internet seeking medical advice.
And consider giving the cat to a good home if you can't take care of it.
