Oh the docs have little handheld computers now. Once when in the hospital I asked to get off xanax and go back to valium . At the time the other doc had me on chloral hydrate, klonopin, xanax, seroquel to sleep. He used the calculator to look up how he could get me off all the meds I didn't need. Which were too many for sleep as you could hit me with a basball bat and I'd still wake up after four hours of sleep. Anyway he came up with a formula with that computer thing. I went home and ended up in a neurologists office in withdrawal. The neurologist said who prescribed this withdrawal method I told him the doc in the hospital. He said well get another one who is not benzophobic. My BP was 180/ll0. My extremities were twitching and shaking so badly I couldn't sit. And I was talking gibberish. So if I had had blind faith in this pdoc I probably would be dead now. Love Phillipa
