A friend called on me this morning to inform me her sister had committed suicide after suffering from withdrawal from Lorazepam. Her husband, who video taped her withdrawals, found her shortly after this was posted on YouTube. I was asked by the family to honor her wish, of warning others, by posting, and sharing this video. I ask, would you please watch and share. It’s heartbreaking to endure. However, this subject must be addressed. Many people across the world suffer this same fate. We must change the system.
Patty had only been taking Lorazepam for three months. This video was her 18th day of cold turkey withdrawal. Her family called the doctor and emergency room for help with no avail. Patty, a recent cancer survivor, stabbed herself within hours of her videos being posted (there are two). Her husband started videoing her at her request; when she could not get professionals to help. Please, please….let’s stop this insanity!!!!!
I have permission, and have been requested by Patties family to post this video. Please share and discuss.
