You must certainly be in withdrawal! How can you tolerate it? Why would a pdoc take you off all these meds at once. Did you overdose? That's the only reason I can think of. I once had an on-call pdoc yank me off of xanax, and try to only give me 2mg of klonopin at night while in the hospital. Thank God, when I became extremely agitated, crying, etc. the Nurses called another pdoc and he gave me back the xanax. We also now have a Withdrawal Board, which I'm quite sure Dr. Bob will redirect this Thread to. But, you can't just go off all these meds at once, you could have a seizure. Fondly, Phillipa
