How long were you on medications for PD?
what were they?

if the doctor has taken you off a benzodiapine too soon,
he must put you back on it
asap - I was hospitalized because of the Dr's error?

these are the list of benzodiazepines:

Benzodiazepines:
Adinazolam, Alprazolam, Bromazepam, Brotizolam, Camazepam, Chlordiazepoxide, Cinolazepam, Clobazam, Clonazepam, Clorazepate, Clotiazepam, Cloxazolam, Diazepam, Doxefazepam, Estazolam , Ethyl loflazepate, Etizolam, Fludiazepam, Flunitrazepam, Flurazepam, Gidazepam, Halazepam, Ketazolam, Loprazolam, Lorazepam, Lormetazepam, Medazepam, Midazolam, Nimetazepam, Nitrazepam, Nordazepam, Oxazepam, Pinazepam, Prazepam, Quazepam, Temazepam, Tofisopam, Triazolam
