Benzo's are kind of like opiates in that they've been out of favour for a while with Dr's. There are a lot of Dr's that won't prescribe them at all, and I know several people who have been forced off them, with fairly rapid tapers when they changed Dr's or their Dr's office changed policies.

I'm slowly tapering off clonazepam with a cross taper onto Valium, and I'm not having any problems, other than slight rebound anxiety, but I find my seroquel really helps with that.
