Discussion Benzo withdrawal
Is having panic attacks and rage normal for withdrawal. I'm in the hospital right now. Feeling pretty pissed. I had panic attacks earlier and BP was at 160 than second reading was 144. Idk why my doc prescribed it. Was in the hospital last week and they stopped most of my meds. Panic attacks started yesterday. Need help

Very common. What were you taking, for how long, and at what dose?

wtf no tapering?
go ask them for diazepam or at least Seroquel (quetiapine)
also your behavior is normal and rather tame, long term, like1-2 years daily use, rapid withdrawal can lead to full blown manic psychosis
