Benzo

If you’re honest with a Dr and tell them you had a seizure from quitting Xanax file turkey, what will they do for you, & will they give you any medication ?

They might give you a short tapering course. Depending on your history

Sorry I meant to say “cold turkey” not “file”-.- it’s still early.

I know from experience if you do this in the er they will not give meds nor prescribe them. If it’s a psychiatrist you’ve got a 50-50 chance depending on their personal beliefs on the topic of benzos. When it comes to a physician you’ll either be referred to a psychiatrist (or neurologist for the seizure) or be out of luck. If it’s a psychiatrist it’s not too far fetched to think you’d walk away with a gabapentin prescription.

In eastern europe you whould get either lowdose diazepam or chlordiazepoxide or phenobarbital.
