Well, first of all I suggest being honest with your therapist because they’re there to help you. Also, if you’re going to take the medication you should take it as prescribed. However, when it comes to benzos I understand most times they are only needed at certain times so definitely you don’t want to abuse those pills. I would say hold on to the ones you have and when you see your new person ask them to prescribe you what you need so you have backup because some therapist don’t want to prescribe them due to people who abuse their prescriptions. I’m kind of like you I rarely ever use them but it just helps me knowing I have them if I need them.
