Cripes, I just found out from my daughter that the soonest appointment with a primary that her hubby finally found that accepts Champva is 10 days from today! I can't wait that long!

Do not panic. A panic attack right now will only make things 100X worse. Breathe calmly and slowly...everything will be ok, but you do need to be evaluated.
Let us know what happens.
omg, k, now I'm panicking. 0_0 Going to get into the hospital as soon as someone wakes up. I can't drive because I have a seizure disorder. =/ Thanks for the honesty.
Go to an E.R. I mean it. Tell them you exactly how much you were taking and how long you've been without it. They will NOT tell you what that pain doctor did.
SHAME on that doctor. Valium withdrawals can be life threatening..you are at high risk for seizures honey...especially with your other health issues.
Please, please, consider what I'm saying. You were on a very high daily dose of benzo's, and withdrawals from this drug class are a totally different ballgame than withdrawals from pain pills.
Withdrawals from opiates isn't usually life threatening, but w/d's from any benzo (Valium, Xanax, Clonopin) can be very dangerous.
