He had me on high doseages of Temazapan and Xanax for months and when I could no longer afford to pay for his visits he dropped me. I started to have muscle pains, sleeplessnes and thought I was going out of my mind. My blood pressure was elevated into an unhealthy range and my pulse rate was too high. When I called his office I was told I was dehydrated and to drink some gatorade. I went to the ER and they told me I was experiencing severe unattended benzo withdrawal and reccomended hospitalization. I had to do this cold turkey. It was 20 weeks of total hell. I was in such distress that I was seriously thinking about killing myself. It took almost a year to recover and feel better. Paschowitz is a menace. He is a horrible doctor. Do yourself a favor and do not go anywhere near this man.

This particular doctor poisoned me through and through with increasingly high doses of a Benzodiazepine; that it turns out, I didn't even need! and to make things worse, I was made completely dependent on it and to get off of it was a 9th Circle of Hell kind of thing. I was bedridden for over a year and a half and almost 3 years later im still not completely normal. :( because of him Ive lost faith in Psychiatry and Psychiatric drugs OR rather my eyes were open to all the harm that they actually do. Research and investigate before you EVER put anything in your body. I wished I had or someone had told me.

Finally a psychiatrist that listens! He doesn't use PA's or nurse practitioners. He spent 1 1/2 hours with me and I will definitely be going back.
