I did a fast taper and suffered most of my WD from opiates during the taper.  So when I stopped I barely had any wd symptoms.  I was taking immodium to stay ahead of the game and took lots of hot baths.  But I agree, don't over think it and just go with it.  I kept wondering when the freight train was going to hit and it never did.  Dont get me wrong my body still graves it, especially when I wake up at night and I need to rewire my brain but that is why I am going to an after care program.  Good for you!!!

Hey.  I would say that you tapered so slowly that it may be ok!  Maybe you are a lucky one.  Get out today and get some sun, fresh air and exercise while you are feeling so well.  That will help more than you know.

It could be that you will still have a few off days, but I'd say that the bad part is behind you!!!  : )  Keep us posted!

Hard to say why the wd's don't seem to be as bad..First thought that comes to my mind is when you tried to stop before, did you taper like you did this time? Did you take any sub the last time?

Last time I had some clean time, I had done a fast taper, and even though it was a short one, the wd's were not as bad as the two previous times..I was right at 3 weeks before having to go back on meds due to back surgery complications in a procedure done in June. But in comparing previous wd experiences, this last time was not that severe..The depression and insomnia did stay relatively the same though along with the lack of energy..This is where I forced myself to get active and that helped alot too..I struggled with that as my mind kept saying "I don't feel like it", but I did notice that making myself move around was helping me. I could notice it..

But hey,,if your not feeling as bad as you think you should be, I wouldn't even worry about it. I would be grateful :) And hope the worst is over with.

But please keep in mind that tommorrow could turn and the depression along with the lack of energy come back..

Glad to hear though you feel surprisingly better than you were expecting..Lets hope the worst is over for you :)
