Rick, the problem is I never went through a slow taper. I was a patient at the Detox center for a 7 day program. The medical personnel there claimed this was all it would take to detox me from 6 months of using Ativan or Xanax. While there, I never had a moment where I felt any different to when I was home. I saw alcoholics transform from hiding away in their rooms, only leaving to rush to the bathroom, and in a matter of days, they were eating their meals and watching tv in the common room and conversing with other patients. I kept waiting for something to happen to me. When I left after 7 days, I felt just the same as before I got there. Almost as soon as I was discharged, I had to start using the Ativan again. I don’t know what to do or whom to contact. I am stuck between a rock and a hard spot. This is getting to be too much for me and my husband who is bearing the brunt of my outbursts.
