I HAVE BEEN TO THE ER THREE TIMES RECENTLY FOR CHEST PAINS BUT WAS GIVEN THE ALL CLEAR. I AM SCARED/TERFFIRED ACTUALLY THAT THE WITHDRAWLS ARE GOING TO GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK OR KILL ME. I SEE ALOT ABOUT LETAL WITHDRAWL FROM THEM. MY DR IS ON VACATION UNTIL TUESDAY. I DON T KNOW WHAT TO DO. WILL I BE OK??
