In reply to Withdrawal Symtom Relapse from Benzos?, posted by recoverybound on December 14, 2006, at 20:11:33
> I was in detox for 5 days for benzos (I had used about 60 mg of valium per day for about a year). They sent me home with nothing but Cymbalta. Much to my dismay, ALL WD symptoms came back within 5 days! I think they withdrew me too quickly. I don't know what to do now; the hospital wants to pass the buck to my regular doc, but he's clueless. Help! Has anyone else experenced this??????? I desperately need direction.
I really feel for you. Back in 1993, my doctor at the time took me off of Valium cold turkey and put me in the hospital for 2 weeks of ECT. I'll never forget being spaced out from the ECT and nervous and uncomfortable as hell from the withdrawal. It took me 5-6 weeks until the extreme anxiety went away. I had been on Valium for 12 years, but only 10mg daily.Michael
