temazepam-Ct

Hi. A bad doc prescribed me temazepam (100) pills and told me to take as many as were necessary to get the desired affect. When my scrip ran out I cold turkyed because i didn't know any better. On the second day when I woke up i couldn't feel a thing. My vision was down to about a frame every 10 seconds. Then I was blind for about a week only able to see a few feet in front of my face. I was out of the country at the time and decided to forgo medical attention in hopes that i would improve. I did improve until the stress of travel caused me to become very ill. After returning to the states i went to the doc for sinus pain and blurred vision. He gave me steroids and Cipro. This seemed to make me better but only shortly after i became sick again. I needed to move for work and so i did. The biggest mistake i have made in all this is in using marijuana. This made my condition unbearable and now i am on an ssnri.
