Gravol Addiction

Ive taken gravol for almost a year on and off , the last 3 months i have been taking a large amount. I have taken 70 pills in the last 12 days. I realized i had an issue , and just didnt know how bad the withdrawls etc would be. i havent taken any gravol for 2 days now and plan to quit. I feel like absolute garbage right now. I cant eat , i can sleep , but all i want to do is sleep. which is very hard considering i have 2 children and work full time. I had to leave work early today due to my withdrawls. I am very sick and i am just wondering if anyone has any tips or advice about gravol addictions. i just want to get over this and i do plan to stick with not taking it. with christmas just a few days away i dont want to have to feel like garbage the whole holiday.

I hope someone can help me

I appreciate any comments and advice

Asha- It would be best if you contact your doctor to get some help with this. It can be tough for some people to stop Gravol and you got yourself up to a fairly high dose.

Try tapering the med so you feel a little better and be sure to get some guidance from an addiction cousellor!
