Manic, when that's happened to me,
and it's horrifying, I found out by accident that
zopiclone stops the withdrawal symptoms
I mean for me it REALLY does, it's almost indistinguishable from the Loraz
And I've tried zyyprexz seroquel.. yada yada
and nothing eased the pain of the withdrawal as completely as Zopiclone
I had to take a lot of it, like 5 7.5 pills a day,
I have no idea what the long term side effects of that are, but when in the throes of withdrawal I wasn't too concerned. And it wiped the symptoms right out. For some reason I've found doctors are more willing to prescribe it..This is making me so angry, the anti-benzo crap,
I have no idea why they do this to people.
What they are trying to accomplish.
I'm so sorry you're going through it..
That doesn't help I know.
What the doctors are doing doesn't even make sense.
How is sending someone into a spiral of withdrawal better for mental illness than prescribing some lorazepam..My only hope is that this benzophobia is getting so ridiculous that maybe there will be a backlash, and some Doctors will come out and say
for some people it's the only thing that works.I had one Dr refuse to refill my script it was , and then two days later
when I was out of my mind from the anxiety/withdrawal tell me "it wasn't withdrawal"
Well if it wasn't withdrawal, why did he refuse
to refill the script?
