I know what you are going through, I cant wake up either without, I have been trying to ween myself off them but I am having a hard time cause once you get a few in you you feel invincible and just keep taking them,. My doc put me on zoloft to help with the depression i feel when i run out . it has helped and I feel a bit better about stopping but once it grips you your in trouble.. sometimes I just want to wake up and have it over KEEP TRYING

Don't stop taking them immediately. Cut the pills in half and take them as often as usual. After a week, take a quarter each time. Do this for a week and then go off them. This helps reduce withdrawal symptoms.

I hope you can get off them. I'll be praying.

If you have someone that you can trust give the rest of what you have to them and ask them to give you one at a time or half every six hours to ween you off. Otherwise, if you don't have anymore I beg you to endure this. Usually the withdrawals last for two or three days and then after three days your system is clean. Try your best to keep your mind occupied with something else. The bible helps me a lot. If you haven't been on them very long stop now.

Nobody intends to become an addict, so try not to be ashamed of yourself. I felt shame for so long, but being clean really helps.

I could not stop on my own. I had kept my addiction a secret from my husband and once I finally told him, I was able to face it.

I detoxed at home (no tapering at all), then went to a residential treatment center. The detox period took 5-6 days and I was probably taking the same amount as you.

Have you ever heard of Suboxone? It saved my life! It's a new drug they have come out with to treat opiate dependence. It kills the cravings and lets you live a normal life. Google Suboxone and get more info on it if you want to. Also send me a message and I will give you info if you want it. Good luck sweetie!

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
