Personal experience. As a 27 year old haven given birth two months earlier to a very hard to care for baby who was in Yale hospital due to side effects probably to the benzos and meds the ob gyn and doc at the time thought were fine to combine with preganancy. I cold turkeyed myself at home had first gone to hospital and left they said I'd seize if went cold turkey did it anyway as knew had a baby in two weeks to care for. I lay on the couch for two weeks doing nothing. I couldn't. When walked felt like just got off a rocking ship. I was hot. I couldn't eat. When the two weeks were up and time to get baby knew had to take some valium or couldn't took 5mg and was fine. Bought her home with her Father he returned to work and I could again relax and she then gained three pounds in a month as she had what they called hyperkinetic. The Nurses could'n't get her to gain an once stop moving legs and crying 24 hours a day. I did the cold turkey thankfully I was young and healthy. Knew nothing about meds. Just knew had to care for family. So don't advise cold turkey unless under medical care in a hospital. My feelings . Love Phillipa
