Hi, currently are you having any symptoms. Long term use of Etiozolam is not recommended. That is why may be your 2 nd doctor has stopped etiozolam. And if your symptoms are much under control please try therapy.

Sir, Please follow your current doctor's advice, don't take medication without letting your doctor know . And results in emergency treatment (if required) can be devastating and insurance may refuse your claim on pretext of using non prescribed medication.
