In Hubby's circumstance, I think it was accepted that he was going to be on that level of drugs for the rest of his life, so withdrawal was not going to be an issue. I knew new doctors would look at his drug list and go "Oh, there has to be a way to get you off some of those drugs, it's not good for you," and he'd point to the certified pain doctor who had prescribed most of them. Though it did take the pharmacist to say "You've got half a dozen interactions going on here, tell your doctor to take a look at these drugs and see which ones are really necessary." Turned out he was taking drugs just to deal with the effects of the interactions between another set of drugs.
(Though all his drugs has certainly contributed to my apparently reaching a lifetime cap on prescription co-pays, because I haven't had to pay for any of my drugs for over a year. God bless good insurance, how the uninsured cope with these things I don't know.)

or deal with bad insurance. In a word - badly.
and Connie, you keep anything you damn well want to for as long as it makes you happy.
Thank you all for the sympathy. I did manage to sleep after taking extra med so was a little groggy today. But, I was less panicked today.
Then, I came home to find that a Buffista had generously helped me out and am verklempt that this is the kind of place where we really take care of each other.
The sweet, kind and generous Nanita is my benefactress and is a goddess to me.
Eh, I had some extra needed putting to good use. Hope it helps.
Nanita is indeed rather goddesslike that way. A lot of us owe her, with a lot of love.
quester, glad things are a little better.
askye, I meant to say! Looking forward to having you as an NC-ista. We will be about four hours apart, but hopefully there can be togethering at some point.
Naw. I'm just one of many who happened to get a public mention here.
