In reply to withdrawal from xanax, posted by ginger C on October 7, 2003, at 12:31:51
What Robert said was absolutely true, except I must add something equally important. Your employee must tell this idiot doctor to take a walk and go see someone else. He has a lot of nerve telling her she is "addicted" (the more scientifically precise and tactful word is "dependent), and his decision to make such an abrupt withdrawal is indicative of either consummate ignorance or sadism. Your employee should immediately consult with someone who is knowledgeable about SLOW benzo tapering.
And you should try to be patient with her because she is in plenty of misery that is not her fault.
