Taking Nitrzepam, Reduced Dosage. Feel Sleeplessness And Tingling. Will This Cause Heart Attack?
My husband (67)has been taking 2 nitrzepam tablets daily for 35 years. On requesting his repeat prescription this month he was given a repeat of only one tablet daily, on querying this he was told these were the new directives, rather drastic after 35 years don t you think. He saw the senior partner at the practice who stuck to the new directives rules, he is now experiencing withdrawal symtoms of sleeplessness , tingling in his extremities and he feels completely down in his mood. If he has to reduce the prescription surely a less drastic way could be found. Where to go from here? He does get stressed and suffered a heart attack 10 years ago. Thank you
