How Can The Side Effects Of The Medications Be Controlled?
Yes.... I m really worried about my fiance ... he is taking soo many drugs right now... He is taking Serrax, Wellbutrin, Lexipro and Trazidone..... today he is in panic mode because his Serrax has ran out early..(he took more than he should) and his doctor is out on vacation and they won t refill his prescription.... He and I are worried about the side effects of stopping immediately... is there anything suggestions you have as to what he could take to help the side effects of stopping so ubrupty ?? Not sure when they will refill the prescription.... And he has been taking the Serrax for about 15 years...

Hello,
Your fiancé can develop withdrawal symptoms if he stops taking it immediately rather than tapering. He is advised to get visit ER and get clinically examined. If need be, he will be admitted in the hospital or recommended to join a detox center where his withdrawal symptoms will be urgently cared for.
He will be given symptomatic treatment & will be cared for while remaining comfortable. He should not stay at home because some symptoms cannot be managed at home. Help him stay well hydrated during this time. He should not miss meals either.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
