congrats on the step you've taken, bigdaddy :)

you've gone through a flu before, right? then you can do this too. as they have told above you have stopped  at the right time and not after too much time using.......drink a lot to help your body to detox through sweating  ( gatorades, tonic water, apple or oranges fruit, eat bananas ) and go for  a  long hot bath if your muscles ache..

good luck !

Right on man, glad your doing this. Your saving yourself from so much pain stopping this fast. Melatonin helped me with sleep, but it does not work for everyone. Keep us updated, this is a great support group.

Welcome to the forum. Your on a low dose and even tho you will have some wd`s, I doubt they will be as bad as the horror stories you have read about. Addiction is progressive and your stopping just in time.

So is tonight your first night off them. Good luck and keep posting. Wish I would have stopped after 2.5 months. You can do this:)

Hey how's it going.  You shouldn't sweat it, I think you'll be just fine.  Do you have a choice anyway?  What's the alternative, doing more pills and getting deeper into addiction?  I don't think you want that for yourself.  You haven't been taking that much, and you haven't been doing it for that long.  I'm guessing you may be a little cranky for a few days tops.  Do yourself a favor and JUST STOP NOW!

Good luck.
