To be clear, my prior post; the Effexor-XR withdrawal followed this 'breakdown.'
One of the many things which happened in the maybe month and a half prior to my 'shutdown', was a STOP W/ NO TITRATION of Klonopin; p-doc just wrote Xanax ... which not on now - now taking Valium. I should have self-advocated there.
Even in the hospital, when switched from Xanax to Valium, I had to continually bug the staff about titrating me. They weren't and it was awful. I finally convinced them to titrate it and was much better.
Boy, you really have to look out for yourself when hospitalized.
They tried give me a med that wasn't even mine. I requested that all my nurses (diff' shifts) speak the name of the med outloud before giving it to me.
Oh, lots of stories in that six day period!
I feel very badly for any people who slip through the crack because they are not able to pay very close attention to their treatment.
