Struggling

[worried878]

I am getting down to a really low dose and keep telling myself that if I freak out, I can always get more and quit later..I know this is not good thinking but I am really thinking it!

Whatever you do, don't backslide.  You've come a long way.  It is so tough, but think how tough it would be starting over again.  Please don't get more.

It is a scary thing to go thru.  Just trust the wonderful people here.  It really does get better.  Stay here. Post often.  I would not have been able to do it without the support here.  You are well on your way and you can do this

[worried878]

That is something I need to remember...to think positive..I think I am expecting the worst!

[worried878]

I know   I have to quit...I am sure that if I do not I would feel like ****!  It is just so easy to put it off for another week and another...I know I will do this as I have been putting this off for several months...It has seemd like the more I thought about quitting the more pills i would take...I went to work and got slammed this morning and the stress overwhelmed me....It was like horribly busy and I was alone  i have one pill left for today...this is tough,,,i need to stay re-inforced about this

Worried if you keep thinking like that you will freak out. Change the way you are thinking. LOOK what you have done already. First you realized you need to quit and now you want to quit. You looked for help and that's why  you are here. You started tapering and like you said " I am getting down to a really low dose". You could'nt say that before. So look at what you have accomplished already. All these things positive progression. Now listen,start convinvcing yourself right now,wow look what i've done already,i'm doing so good,i'm almost there,this isn't gonna be as bad as i thought. I will soon be over this and I'm gonna be the old me again. Wow look at all the new friends i've made.
POSITIVE thinking will make you triumph.-John

Hi,

I tapered too and I felt the same way. I also had a rapid heartbeat and was very jumpy. But it made the actual withdrawals when I stopped easier. It will get better. I'm on day 11 and I am much calmer than what I was a week ago today. And I feel more free. No counting pills. That's such a nice feeling. You can do this. How much have you cut your dose by?

Good luck, just keep doing what you are doing.

hun , the problem with that is later becomes later and later and later . It normal to be scared .You decided to quit I am sure for many reasons,the first week will be hard  I am telling you within a few weeks you will be so happy wondering why you didnt do it sooner . You know you need to quit ,you can do this.

Hang in there and just try and go as long as you can!!!  The goal is to be able to get off the drugs for life... not as quickly as possible.  You can do it!

Is there someone you trust that you can share this with?  I felt the same way, so I told my husband.  That way i knew that I could not give up.
