Forgive me for sounding judgmental since I haven't had to go through a severe withdrawal before, but isn't taking addictive medication to get rid of an addiction counter-intuitive? I mean then you have to withdrawal from being addicted to the legally prescribed drug?
I'm sure there are some herbal or more natural safer remedies that some kind people on here can recommend.
Actually now that I think about it, does anybody know if Cannabis relieves with withdrawals from Alcohol? I know here in California you can get a legal prescription for Cannabis.
Again forgive me if I upset you, I think you should do what's best for you and if you really need drugs, I guess another doctor or ER or Urgent Care might help you there.
