> Thanks how kind. Well the 8 or so years I've been away from nursing things have drastically changed as the benzo detox used to be in the hospital. So how do they get you off the phenobarbitol. I know it's a seizure med. Love Phillipa ps I hope your original post didn't say.
They slowly reduce the dose. At first, I was at 30 mg, four times a day. Then 15 mg, four times a day. Today I'm going down to 15 mg, three times a day. Then once you feel okay again, they cut it to 15 mg twice a day, and finally once a day, and then you're off.
Hence all the questions, since I've never been through benzo detox before, but no one's biting. :(
