How long have you been off them? What are you experiencing? Remember withdrawal is time limited and your wd shouldn't be too bad in terms of what you were taking. Keep posting questions and comments. This is a good place to be. It was the biggest help to me with my withdrawal. You will be fine. Don't scare yourself. usually day 3 or 4 is the worst and you keep getting better from there.

Good Luck.

How many days or hours have you been of them now, or are you still taking them? If you look in the top right of this page, you will see health pages. In there you will see the Thomas recipe which can help with w/d's a bit. There is also the amino acid protocal in there too, check it out.

Hopefully your w/d's won't be too bad with that amount:) For most it seems the worst is over in 4-6 days, but everyone is different. May I ask why you were prescribed them in the first place? Good luck, you can do this.
