    It's funny how the pets are
    It's funny how the pets are the problem. My cat is "elderly" as the vet called him. I used to just think of him as a cat. Now I have to be nicer to the geezer.

    Helen I would be careful and thoughtful about what you start taking at this time.As Steve says the benzos are very addictive....I know because I just jumped off lorazapam after eight years.....i should never have taken it that long....I think the heavy sleeping meds are great for a short term crisis but they can go on too long. I really do not want to frighten you....we are all at very different stages in this journey but in MHO I would avoid the benzos if possible....
