Hi Scott,
I've withdrawn 3 times, 2 by accident, 1 on purpose, all 3 ubruptly.
1. Cigarettes 10 yr habit, cold turkey, no problems
2. 3 mg day Klonopin, cold turkey by accident. It took me 30 days of "discomfort" to figure out that was it. I thought it was from a minor surgery I had. I'll NEVER do that again. Its not safe.
3. Parnate-accidenatally skipped two doses,(sick), woke at 1am in the middle of a terrifying nightmare that even awake and in my kitchen I couldn't stop. Some people react differently than I do.
Cigarrettes fine cold turkey (I found it to be the only way).The other two, you better have a plan and a good one for 2-3 scenarios cause just as people react differently to meds, they withdraw differently as well. Research your med well before d/cing it.
I would "suggest strongly" that no one ever try to cold turkey a med they are at all reliant on.
