Introducing benzors

Hi,

I've suddenly found myself dependent on ativan after only a single dose.  I suspect this was due to existing alcohol dependency.  I'm hoping to see a doctor tomorrow, but I don't know how he'll take tapering.  It's only been a week, and I'm only taking about .75 mg, but this is hell, and I want out of it as fast as possible.  I'm here for the support and the help understanding what tapers are good.
