Hi lizzy,
I recommend looking through the postings for a detox recipie. I don't know how much you are using daily, how long you've been using, if you are on other medications, etc.. but that kind of information is helpful in knowing what to tell you to try and help. There are different ways to go about it. Taper, cold turkey, suboxone, methadone, rehab, NA meetings, and/or a combination of these things.
Give us a little of your story and we'll try to lend some support and advice to help.
Once you post your message it can take a little while before anyone reads and responds. Many check in several times a day, many check in once a day or less but normally you will get some responses within the same day. We'll be watching for you.

I will try to help. Everyone is different so things that work me you may not work for you. I went to a addiction center where they gave me seven days worth of suboxone. Tapering 8-8-4-4-4-2-2. They also gave me flexeril and clonadine. That helped a lot. My cravings yesterday were hell to get through. Some how I managed. I think you need to get you mind ready first. Then tell yourself you are coming down with the flu. That is very much how it feels. The flu with a lot of anxiety added just for good measure. I tried tapering. I failed. I tried cold turkey. I really failed. I guess since they were so available to me either that or I just have low will power. You just have to get through one day at a time. After the doctor's tapering I felt like I had just delayed the withdraws. Monday was my last day at the docs. Then Tuesday was bad Wednesday and Thursday were way worse. Now here I sit today saying I feel way better than I did. Fifteen minutes from now I know I may not. That is how it seems to go for a while. If you do not want to tell your doctor everything maybe you should tell him you are having a hard time sleeping, which you will, and he will give you something. Every little thing helps. I took the herbal remedy post to heart and bought all three items. I think it is really helping today. You might want to double check it. GABA which they told me was a b-complex, L-Tyrosine and L-Phenylalanine. They have seemed to help. You may want to add in a multi vitiman and drink plenty of gatorade. Oh yea and the immodium tablets are a god send especially if you have to work during your detox. I took my dog for a brisk walk this morning. That helped. I am glad I have him otherwise I might of just stayed on the couch. I personally fell better doing a little something productive. Some people seem better off just lying in bed. Whatever works. Good luck to you. Remember quit when your ready. Planning was my best asset. I had very little
on my plate for October, I would not want to try detoxing during the holidays. You can do it. Just take it hour by hour and know their are people who care here. Addy
