off meds cold turkey

Posted by sar on January 23, 2002, at 20:27:04

i was on prozac, klonopin, and neurontin. i had taken myself off lamictal, and several weeks later was admitted to the state hospital, where they took me off all meds cold turkey.

symptoms: twitching, restless legs; pain in left leg; poor sleep; tongue-tied; shaky hands; anxiety through the roof and i am smoking like mad!

it has been a week and a half since i was taken off. was it unwise of the doctors to take me off cold turkey (i was committed because i'd overdosed on my meds), and when can i expect these symptoms to go away? the return of social/general anxiety angers me. the meds had diminshed my anxiety greatly but very apparently did not work for my depression very well.

any opinions would be very much appreciated.
