I'd have to say that psychiatric medications are , for me at least, MUCH MUCH scarier/worse to stop taking. Xanax, Paxil, and Buspar (I don't take any anti-depressants anymore - just meds for back pain) - But I have been on all of these and psychiatric meds were MUCH MUCH worse to stop than hydro. Made hydro holiday look like a walk in the park. Especially with xanax (more recently) -
Here is the only way I can put it:
It will depend on YOU - Do you fear prolonged (possibly 1-2 weeks) of SEVERE MENTAL ANGUSIH and rapidly changing blood pressure to the extent of think you really may die (and CAN, with xanax at least)-
Or do you fear, your pain returning (physical) - with some night sweats, anxiety, diahreea, and leg twitched which you KNOW will only last a couple days (of course the mental cravings go on MUCH longer , much!) - But I am saying with benzo's or Anti-Depressants, it's like you have no idea how long it's gonna last. It goes away, comes back, goes away, comes back until you feel you are insane! Literally!
To me, the fear of losing my mind and having a seizure, is much scarier than hydro withdrawal (returning pain and basically a bad case of the flu, and achey/twitchy muscles) -
PAIN, I am used to and can deal with it being elevated for a couple days.
MENTAL ANGUISH to me is a much scarier prospect, not to mention the seizure/increased panic attack frequency scare of coming off AD's or anti-anxiety's. All of my psychiatric drug w/d's have felt literally like he11 on earth with no chance of returning and no idea how long it would last. Like a 'bad trip' to relate it to something I did 15 years ago...
My vote is defitenely, I would take hydro w/d in a heartbeat!! after experienceing the w/d's from psych meds.
