20 DAYS Clean Update
Here is to my day 20!
I feel great...I feel normal....I feel even.
I have zero cravings and in fact the thought of taking the pills actually scares me. I have no desire for them.
I am pretty much done with the W/D, except I have a sneezing session a couple times a day. No biggy.
My sleep is pretty good, not perfect but pretty good I get at least 6 hours a night. Over the weekend I slept for 11 hours one night. I must have needed it.
My appetite is GRANDE! Eating healthy and working out daily.
Anxiety- I didn't really have much psychological anxiety when I went through this, it mostly manifested itself in a physical form in the first week with insomnia and restless body syndrome. Thats been gone since my first week though....but know psychological anxiety.
Mood- I was down/ depressed/ emotional the first week...anything made me cry. I just feel normal now. When I was taking pills I still did experience highs and lows of life. I never used to like to take the pills when I was unhappy, like it was a waste or something. Anyway, mood mood feels even and balanced.
I start work next week. I am freelance so was able NOT to have to work while I went through quitting. Anyway, I know I will be ready for work and looking forward to the particular job.
I truly believe that quitting warm turkey-- weaning very slowly and with a supply of xanax, was key to my success. I recommend this to anybody trying to quit.
Thanks everybody for their support!

Thank you for posting your experience. It's so valuable for people to read posts like yours, who are on the fence. You know scared to even try quitting.
