It was. He threw the pysch med away and also refused to go collect any more of the benzo for sleeping because some temp doctor covering for his normal doctor (who is on holiday) told him he'd only prescribe 2 pills per day, which he'd have to go collect daily from the pharmacist. Wendy decided they were treating him like an addict and said fuck you to all medicine - the benzo thing was what sparked his decision to throw away his Olanzapine too. He gave no indication as to how often he used the benzos, so perhaps it was only occasional use but who knows.I though it was his psych med he threw away.
Everything I've read has me believing that benzo and antipsychotic withdrawals are like turbo opiate and SSRI withdrawal on steroids and with fucking AIDS. I've done the opiate and SSRI withdrawal and imagining benzo/antipsychotic wd's based on my experiences actually makes me physically anxious.
I wonder if it's possible that Wendy's mental state could become so schizo that he kind of doesn't really register what his body is going through? I don't know much about unregulated schizophrenia outside of knowing he fucking has it.
