I have just started tape 4. Should I be soon tapering off Adavan or keep taking only when I cannot stop the obessessive worrying?

Why are you stopping your medication?don't stop taking it just because you're on tape 4. Some people have to go through the program multiple times. You may need your meds.

I agree with deedee00 - do not stop taking your meds before working with your doctor. You may still need them for a while, or you may need to be stepped down.

As much as we want to get off our meds, it is still too early in the program at tape 4 to do so. You need to become very good at the coping skills first. It's like a person with a broken leg who has to use a crutch. If their leg is still broken and the crutch is taken away, they may end up causing themselves more damage and slowing down the healing process.

Thanks for the advice, I opted to take an Adavan at 8:30 a.m. this morning for my obessessing worries! Thanks again.
