imagine all of these people running out of meds over a 1-3 week period and not being able to get more because there's no production or distribution. let's say that 1/3 of them are of the homicidal persuasion. now, not only do you have the usual lawless element running amok, as well as the truly evil people who only act civilized because the lights are on, but add to that several million more people who are experiencing violent reactions from quitting the drugs cold turkey, and you have a truly nightmare scenario.

my advice is: if the label says do not stop taking it cold turkey, then don't start!

That is a very good observation, I haven't thought about that. Disturbing.
