Re: group therapy. Who knows. It might help! And as jbug points out, they're not going to force you to share, if they do offer it. I mean, the only punishment they have is taking away your MP3 player.

I'm a little worried about the idea of going to the hospital for five days because your current meds *can* have some nasty withdrawal effects; that's likely just my general suspicious nature piping in. My suggestion on the snoring is to mention it (if you do end up going) to someone who might be able to put you in with another snorer. It might not be the best night's sleep for either of you, but you certainly won't feel embarrassed.

What sort of withdrawal effects are common, if I can ask?

Try asking over in the meds forum what people's experiences with your particular stuff is/are, or even asking this question again. It's not that we won't write, of course, just that I'm about 1/100 as knowledgeable on the subject as I'd have to be, I think, to do you any favors.

Good luck! Keep us posted if you can. Additional info helps forum readers from the future!
