I am visiting one tomorrow for my first treatment. He did x-rays and my spine and atlas are totally unaligned. I am willing to try anything.

Sadly in my acute stage I turned to ativan. I am already dependant but I don't care because it helps

Thanks friend. I cant say I'm looking forward to this but it needs to be done

@stophiss thank you. As of right now my tinnitus is mostly a non issue. It rarely bothers me but I don't know if that's the ativan keeping me calm...

@Cal18 no guarantees it is the benzo I guess. My doctor is 100% going to support me on my taper but she isnt convinced its from the benzo. She...

@PaulBe The mind is a powerful thing, I'm sure it can be convinced into anything including being dependant on a med or that the med has no hold...

Get well soon Glynis.
