I agree with Whiskeyman,
There was zero warning signs for me when I had seizures a few years ago. I was getting a ride home then BOOM I went into this spaz shock. I was driven to the emerge and felt fine (other then being stiff), then I had a few more while in the hospital bed.
I as well as you had no idea about seizures and withdrawal. I do know that my hands were shaky and I felt horrible, but I was use to that.
Yes take the Benzos as directed from your doctor. They prevent seizures. They are very scary and embarrassing. Another thing I do remember is that while I was in the hospital they had to stream Line me with val and benz and blood thinners. It was a horrible experience and I felt like crap for days. All my muscles tensed and I was sore.
And Yes DO NOT QUIT COLD TURKEY. You could die.
