UGH!!! Drug "vacations," ain't no picnic!! <shuddering at memory> ESPECIALLY "cold turkey" drug vacations such as I was forced to do my HMO many years ago (to PROVE to them I REALLY had PD!) <don't ask!> (it was the HMO from HELL!). If one HAS to go on a drug vacation for whatever reason, I'd suggest tapering off the drug over a period of several days, if possible. Much less of a strain on the body AND mind.
