Thanks for the reply Larry. In response
to you question "why does it bother me",
it's because the withdrawal actually took
about a year with protracted stuff, while
the "stroke" took about a minute and crippled
me for a month - maybe it was a seizure.
Thought maybe the craving for oranges may
be indicative of stroke or seizure or withdrawal.
My mother was alarmed and shook my head
to see if was dead. I was quite sick for a month.
On account of that incident i had to go back
on clonazepam, and my dr. said take as much
as i need to stabilize (i guess it was just
unsuccessful); now i am left with the question
"do i need clonazepam or am i just addicted";
after all my dr. hoped i could do it - i.e.
get off.It's a perplexing picture, what with the
warring sides on the nature of addiction.
I do lean on the Medawar, Healy, etc. side.
After all i was successful in getting off
Xanax and no longer have panic attacks and
my dr. congratulated me. So, i have the
medical establishment on my side as well.Squiggles
