It gives them an overview, but again I think it's not something they should just be handing out.Nothing like a little common sense people, just taper off very slowly,
daily. I believe that between now and mid July there will be
laws ready to get placed that will make the prescribing
physician responsible for explaining the withdrawl process.
I suppose the reason this does not happen now is because the patient
is just getting started on something hopefull, so why talk about
when they should stop it? I still feel that some folks
just do not want to take responsibility for their choices.
Why even agree to start something and do it, if you're
really doubtful about it and ready to blame should
it less than meet your expectations? 'Nuf sed
