I can confirm the withdrawal symptoms, mine weren't as severe as yours sound, but I was probably on a lesser dose.

There are two things that doctors have prescribed me that I regret taking. Ambien and Chantix. Ambien for the withdrawal symptoms, and Chantix for the side effects...

I carefully review and research information about anything a doctor prescribe now other than an antibiotic.

Yeah what's weird is that normally I never would put something in my body if I didn't at least know something about it. But at the time I was going through so many different chemicals, I just didn't even think about it, trusting that they wouldn't intentionally poison me to death. Ironically, a good friend of mine was killed by the VA specifically in this manner (stupid doctors and fatal drug interaction). 100% lesson learned.
