I suppose what I meant to say is that withdrawal is not much more of a concern than it is with any other drug taken on a daily basis. Dependence happens because the brain adapts. Granted, barbs are basically the worst withdrawal out there--next to alcohol--but there's no reason why the patient can't be switched to phenobarbital and tapered off with little to no discomfort. Think that's crazy?
Then why are people switched to fluoxetine for an SSRI taper? Hmm ...
