[QUOTE="Enmeshedmom, post: 727057, member: 22547"] my brother was admitted to the hospital a couple days ago after vomiting for 48 hours straight. After waiting and waiting to hear what was going on I decided to call the hospital and try to speak to his nurse to find out what was going on with him. They are pretty sure he is in withdrawal from benzodiazepines. He was confused this morning and hallucinating, he was also very agitated and trying to wander around the hospital. I went there right away to see him and I just can’t get the image out of my head of him lying in that bed trembling. He has struggled with addiction for a long time now and he has been homeless for awhile now because of it. Apparently he thought he could detox on his own. My mother called an ambulance because his breathing started to get bad and he had blood in his vomit. She thought he had a stomach bug. I really hope this is a wake up call for him. I have never seen someone in withdrawal, seeing my brother that way just crushes me. I just feel so helpless [/QUOTE]
