This is for my fellow taperers or low low dosage users out there

[all_alone1]

Please don't feel like you are alone or making a wrong choice by tapering or still taking that last little bit.....I know that most if not almost all on here have taken the route to go CT instead of tapering because of temptation but they suffer a lot for a long time and for good reason all the damage that was done.....

Tapering is much easier on the body therefore much healthy way in my opinion which this is by the way so don't anyone get all bunched up

I just wanted to post this for one a lot of people out there are intemidated by some of the post because of the choice they are making and get scared off and don't want to post anymore....I know that is how I felt when I went back to tapering....the come telling the truth of what and how much they are taking and looking for support....there is absolutely nothing wrong with tough love but we need to be careful of our choice of words for some individuals are very sensitive......and this help forum is for eveyone so please try not to scare anyone away you never know what is behind the computer screen I will give you a short to the point true story

One of my husbands college professors told him that he had a student come after class to talk to him everyday for a week and each of those days told the student he was busy with another student to make an appointment to talk with him....well that following Monday the student show up for class and the next few days after that....the teacher finally asked the class if they heard anything from this particular student...one of the classmates told him she commite suicide over the weekend.....POINT see what happens for not listening or pusing someone away cuz it doesn't seem important.

So with that said please all my fellow taperers or low dosage users or just anybody woh needs to talk I am here and please message me or post and I will respond...we have come this far please don't let comments discourage you.

Thanks for listening or should I say reading lol
Everyone please take care

Thank you both for the support!  We can do this and take our life back.  Today is my day 5... Woooo Hoooo!  I keep telling my self that I am in control.. I wanted to taper back again today - but I dont think its a good Idea with the bf home. He does not know that my body is detoxing and watched me all week not really get off the couch.  Anyway I have heard that a slow taper is best anyway on your body.. Day 6 around the corner...xoxo

I really appreciate the time and effort you have put into gaining more acceptance for tapering.  I have tapered down to 1/4 of my dose.  One of the big reasons for tapering is I desire to minimize rebound pain.  I am terrified that if I went CT I would experience a great deal of pain.   I had surgery where I had a new disc put in 2 years ago.  The slippery slope of pain medicine began 4 or 5 years ago.  Tapering also is allowing my neurotransmitters and endorphins to get back to normal.  My doctors want me to go this path.  And for some, having the accountability of doctors' knowing about the taper, and writing prescriptions accordingly can make people that wouldn't ordinarily be able to taper--become able to taper.  In addition, I went to rehab. 2 years ago-for 21 days or so--- and I never want to go back again.  I missed my little girls so much!  The pain was unbelievable.  When I came home I didn't keep my recovery plan going.  I wasn't in AA or NA.  For me, being in program is a source of connectedness and joy, as well as healing.  Personally, I can look back on my life, and my problems with alcohol and xanax 15 years ago to my battle with Soma and Clonazapam to my current Opana (opiate) detox -- and I see how I must have recovery in my life.  I pray that others find this too.  
    I have had people encourage me to go CT.  I have had some of them apologize when I told them I didn't want to do that.  It would be a grave mistake for me to go this path.  I thank you that  I have had your support throughout this process.  I want those of us that taper to feel great support from others that are tapering and from those that are going CT.  I ofter write in support of people that CT, as well as fellow tappers.  I hope that those that are tapering will be encouraged to write, and to find encouragement here at MedHelp.  Thanks for making this process that much easier Angel

Much love,
Marie

Ricart70....I have found a few things that have some chinese herbs in it from GNC..com the rest I have to order from an asian store and will pass it along when I get them

So a gnc I found:

Ideasphere inc.weil stress support.....it contains suntheanine l~theanine passion flower and lemon balm which the last two ingredients are what asians use

Gnc herbal plus natura sleep.....this also has passion flower......... lemon balm.both in higher amounts than the above one......valerian root..suntheanine.....and chamomile

Bach flower remedy spray......this one is said to knock out stress on the spot...

Ginsa gold panax ginseng....it is for energy and has to be the panax variety

Coca energy restore...this one is loaded with a bunch of stuff and is supposed to be a rejuvinator

Natures answer Astragalus root this is for energy

And lastly planetary herbals yin chiao..this is for sickness......I listed this one because so many seem to get a real cold/flu for the immune system is low

I know you only asked for mood but I think all of these are hopefully benificial......I will find out because I have ordered each and every one of these puppies lol

So when I get the other I am ordering the will be more like teas and bark for boiling in soups and broths for that is how true chinese remedies work....and I will pass it along when I get them
