Anyone gone CT from this dosage.

I am currently on 2 x 7.5 a day and want to end this crap. It feels like I am prolonging the pain. What would happen if I just flushed the hydro went CT --When would the worst WD's kick in day 2 or 3? or even 4. I can take monday and tuesday off from work next week, then work a light schedule on Wed. Any thoughts

Re: Anyone gone CT from this dosage.

Hello

No, I am not going to lecture. Smiles.

My only thoughts (that I will share!) are that I think it is a bit unrealistic to think you will feel up to working even a light schedule by Wednesday. Of course, my thoughts are based om what the majority of my cuts felt like even on a taper. It always took me a wek mimimum to level off again at all and then another week to build the stamina to make another cut.

However, we are not, by any means, all the same. If you truly feel that you can jump off from this dose, then do what you fel you can. You know I will wish you the best in what you decide for yourself.

Stay strong

Re: Anyone gone CT from this dosage.

i agree reach, BUT you remember me before I had a LONG DRAWN OUT taper with 10/325. I never actually made it to cutting the pills in half. So I believe this will be just like that. One thing I am scared to do is tell my DR. that I went back again. I really want to so he could give me some librium for the WD's that helped last time. Sunday worning is the last day for me!! DAy 1 Sunday. Here I go again.

Re: Anyone gone CT from this dosage.

Hello Full O

Well, Sunday sounds like a good day to start a new life. Smiles. Kind of a sweet irony to it I think.

Calcium and magnesium supplements can go a long way in calming jittery nerves. I took not only the supplements, but also forced down a four ounce glass of milk twice a day, especially on the days when I felt like I was going around the bend there. No smile. Please try the supplements. They can be had seperately or in a combo tablet.

You know what? I know that it will never be pleasant withdrawing, but I think that this time around you will have more understanding. I think the things like deep breathing will click in more by habit this time. You will know enough... as you have already shown, to get physical to help yourself. You can do it and feel confident that you can do it because you have survived it before. It has taken me 56 years but now I can finally sit in a dentist's chair and know, really know, that I AM going to walk out alive. I am really serious here... I am a gagger and have a big fear of dental work, but finally, finally it has become like a habit to start breathing deeply the moment I sit in that chair and I can even remove myself mentally from the "here and now" of what is going on if necessary. We humans have a wonderful capacity to cope, huh?

Stay strong. You can make it through this. I really believe that. And then we will all work with you to find success in the next stage.. staying clean for good.... because you ARE capable of that, too. We have to recognize where we failed in the past and come up with a different course for the next time around with hope always that what we come up with is going to be successful.

Breathe, and hope will be there with each breath.

Hugs

Re: Anyone gone CT from this dosage.

I went cold turkey from about that dosage. I'd been taking hydro for 2 yrs, never exceeded 2-4 pills a day, usually just 2 and I think they were the 10mg ones. Seems like so long ago, I can't remember exactly but it was early September. I didn't even realize I was going thru wd because I honestly did not think I was addicted. Even went to the dr to find out what was wrong with me LOL. I never told her I was taking the hydro as I got that elsewhere. Anyway, for me, it was like I had a virus. Felt just plain nasty, diarreaha and fatigue. Worked thru the whole thing. Dr thought it was depression and put me on a new anti-depressant, cymbalta. I was on Paxil for a few yrs. After a week of they cymbalta dosage went up I got sick. I'm sure it was from the cymbalta because as soon as I tapered off of that, I felt better. I'm on Lexapro now. I still don't feel great. I am depressed over a number of things. But the physical withdrawal was over in about a week. It was the mental side of things that was the worst for me. Terrible cravings for the hydro, which I no longer have. Now I just have life to deal with and with winter coming, I'm not the happiest person. Best wishes with whatever you decide to do.
