While I was in the nursing home, my doctor there gave me an  overdose of 
Zanaflex, which I had a severe reaction.  My doctor panicked  and took me off 
all 
my medications, including my Baclofen, Lyrica and  Vicodin.  I thought I was 
going to die!!  I had such severe spasms, I  nearly jumped off the bed.  I was 
in such terrible pain, I didn't think I  won't make it through the night.  My 
occupational therapists came down to  my room to see why didn't show up for 
therapy, and she went and told the nurse  to call my doctor to gave me my 
medication back.  It was terrible!   Now I know why drug addicts won't stop 
doing 
drugs, it is too painful.  I  sympathize with them.  Going cold turkey can be 
fatal.
