The only problem with this is that I would want them to take responsibility for my withdrawal. That is my pain and suffering. But that does not seem to be a good legal angle.

Yes. But they did send one script to my pharmacy prior to this exam.

I decided to go to the "follow up care" visit at the clinic, out of curiosity, and also because I decided I just don't have the time and energy to pursue legal cases right now. I noticed everyone was super nice to me. The receptionists and nurses there are never that polite. And while I...

Before they first prescribed the Valium, they did try about six or seven other medications, and none proved to be effective treatment for my condition. Valium was only approved at the end of many trials. But they did not retest me after withdrawal.

They advised me to see another doctor before the withdrawal that I saw coming. When I was asking them to write another script and they refused. I did not speak to them while I was experiencing symptoms (as they had already denied me, I did not see the point in begging and pleading.) I did go...

Well, first there was the anxiety and the panic from discovering that I was left without Valium after years of use, not knowing what was going to happen to me or what to do next. Then there were the headaches, the stomach cramps and loose bowels. My insomnia was aggravated, I would go days...

But couldn't they possibly be held liable for the pain and suffering of the withdrawal episode?

I'm trying to understand: if I accept follow up care, does not impact a future action on my part to take legal action (assuming I have a case)? And does anyone know how risky it is generally, to suddenly discontinue from Valium after years of use?

Meaning that it may show an attempt to try to conceal something?

Yeah. That was part of the grievance resolution. The immediate refill and the follow up care during which they will do an evaluation.

3 months.

I was being prescribed Valium for chronic insomnia. It is the clinic that first started the treatment plan 3 years ago. Before that, they had tried treating me with other drugs. But then one day, a doctor who didn't go over the charts, decided not to write up a refill for the Valium. When I...

What is the name of your state? New York My clinic erroneously discontinued my prescription to Valium because they did not realize that I had been on it for 3 years. Someone did not thoroughly review my charts. I called to explain to them that I would suffer a withdrawal episode if they...
