My Dr. is Forcing a Cold Turkey Benzo Withdrawal. On Them for a Decade.

No yelling from me, I appreciate any caring comment. I am really sick rn. It gets worse each day. I'm glad you understand how serious this is and my Dr is neck deep in malpractice.

For the "Doctors" that commented and other trolls, the Medical Board does care and wants to expedite my complaint if I file one. There are also plenty of attorneys that represent people in this exact situation.

The "Doctor" that posted saying you only have seizures if you have epilepsy is 100% wrong. And chopping a dose in half can cause grand mal seizures and strokes all by itself. I hate to think this person is posing as a Doc and spreading ignorant dangerous info. And if they are a Doctor they clearly aren't educated on this subject.

Anyway, I haven't heard of either but I will look. I do have Gabapentin for pain reduction but haven't taken it bc the side effects are many and include suicidal ideation etc and was given to me by the same Dr putting me through hell knowing I could die. Asked questions about it and she has not replied. Asked for an appropriate taper of a med I will be right back on once she rips me off, for recommended meds to do this safely, why exactly she is doing this and no reply. Told her my resting heart rate last night was 156 (on med to control heart rate). No reply.

Talked to a rehab place that is a former client and they said every concern I had was unfortunately correct. They urged me to get an attorney but I just want to not have extreme side effects or die.

Restless legs, weak, nauseous, blinding headache, and sweats or cold sweats on and off tonight. :( Very scary. Eating less, which is bad bc I am already malnourished and sick from a severe Vitamin D deficiency etc. Trouble sleeping. On and off chest pain. And more but I can't think.

Thank you for your suggestions!
