No free ride ?

Did I quit to soon ? I tapered from 3 10/325 about 5 times a week to 1 all this week . Now I am having really bad anxiety . Should I have gone to 1/2 a day for a week or should I just rough it out now ? This is like day 6 . I mean if I feel like this what on Gods earth does taking twenty feel like when you stop ? Thank you for your responses in advance people .  Jimmy

No you did not quit too soon. Stopping at 20+ pills a day taken over years is worse than you could imagine. ADDICTION IS PROGRESSIVE...it gets worse as time goes on. You may stop for awhile and then think you can handle them again. The wd gets worse each time and the relapse usually gets longer. Do not throw your life away. Read our posts and see where these pills took us. Most come and go because they can't quit. Some of us have and struggle even after a year or more clean. You need to educate yourself on this....don't let it take hold of you. Fight hard and get help now and it will be easier.....and you won't ruin your life.  I vote just don't take anything and you will feel better in a few days. You weren't on them for long so just get it over with. God bless, Corey

Jimmy, I was taking from 20-30 a day when I finally stopped - - and you dont even want to know what its like. Probably gives you great insight into why it is so hard for so many to do so. Look into the Amino Acid Protocols in medhelps search engine......your dose was really light and you dont have the history that many do. You will probably find that your dose situation is such that things like L-Tyrosine and theanine will help you out quit a bit. And remember this lesson well........
