You poor thing,
My doctor who I loved, just handed out this demon seed without warning. This is my 6th day, I stopped cold turkey. Last Thursday was my last dose of 225. I am now starting to feel better, and can at least eat something besides carbs..this morning I had my first cup of real coffee and enjoyed it..as by my posts, I have been sober a day at a time since 9-5-88. And I will tell you the whooshing and the nausea almost killed me..I flushed the demon drug down the toilet last Saturday just to make sure I wouldn't take it. Today I finally feel 80%..the headache is here mostly because of the caffiene omission..and the help, omg, my husband who is also sober, took such good care of me! He thought i would be more bitchy, but so far, that hasn't returned..The reason the doc put me on the demon drug - I complained of mood swings last Feb..and it was mostly caused by menapause..the sweats that I am getting is because of that, not the drug, I also stopped my hormone drugs..so I was double dying of withdrawals..my husband and I made love, and I will tell you, I forgot what the big *O* felt like..
Take care,
and the symptoms do go away, my pharmacist said it is our way of wanting the drug that makes it last longer than the usual withdrawals...
Hope that I have helped!
