Dear Congressman____________\ Senator_________________                         

I'm writing you today with the hope of you helping me and/or all the people with Anxiety and/or Panic Disorder. Then also there our the people with seizure disorders that use the benzodiazepines.

For some reason we can not understand the government when putting the Medicare Part D together decided to not pay for any Benzodiazepines.

Example's Klonopin (clonazepam), Restoril (temazepam), Xanax (alprazolam), Ativan (lorazepam), Valium.

I wonder if you realize what kind of affect this can have on people with Anxiety/Panic Disorder.

  1. For people who have been on these types of medicines, withdrawal is medically dangerous including death.
  2. These type of medicine's help people leave there home's. They attend school and/or work. So many people when they no longer can get the benzodiazepines will revert back to staying at home for fear of having panic attacks again.
  3. We have worked very hard to get where we are now. The government interfering with our medication is just plain wrong.

I strongly urge to take some kind of action to reverse this rule. Whether it be new legistration or just revamping the old. The mental community has the same rights as the diabetic or the people with heart disease.

Sincerely,

__________________________
