Oh my God... that's horrible. What started all the benzophobia in the UK? I had heard that the Church of Scientology and the anti-drug Dr. Peter Breggin were behind some lawsuits there not too long ago.
So, they can basically just take me off my medication cold turkey.... that could be deadly in the case of alprazolam (Xanax) because of seizures. The least of the withdrawal would be a trauma that the patient would never forget.
Is it common for people to go to the Netherlands to get their benzos? Is the UK strict about British citizens bringing back medications from the Netherlands and other countries?Professor Heather Ashton resides in Newcastle and she was giving out that protocol to switch patients from Xanax to Valium and then tapering them off over a 1 year period or so.
Can she prescribe medications or is she just a lecturer?
