I know that withdrawal can be fatal and am wondering just how dangerous it was for an 8 stone female suffering very bad health with M.E. / PVS to be withdrawn overnight from 120mg per 24hrs to just 10mg.
Please someone must know the answer - would you post a reply please?
I still get flashbacks and was traumatised.
Could this have been fatal?
