No trumpets if you wish, but perhaps you'll allow a small squeak of congrats.

Hi LaBear,

At least it's one less factor to have to consider but only time will tell.

All the very best to you.

Hi Nick,

Thanks! BTW, didn't you recently say that you're learning to play the piano? Trumpet sounds good with a piano! :lol:

All the best.

I just started reading this thread because, can you believe it -- I didn't know what a benzo was! Thanks for the clarification.

Virgil, you are on your way! Congrats on the tapering down. I was interested to read that benzos affect nal. My dr. prescribed some xanax for me to take b/c I've been having panic attacks. I'm on the lowest dosage and don't take them more than once a day and not every day -- but I have noticed my consumption has increased since I started taking them. Very interesting.

V,

That is absolutely tremendous news for you, and let's hope it's the final piece of the puzzle you've been looking for - it's certainly a very positive step forward I think.

All the best my friend,
