Oh thanks for the inspiration.  I'm on day 4 of cold turkey.  Starting to loose that "gotta have it, must have it, where is my pills" feeling.  Of course you cant help but wonder if its ever gonna get better......until you hear someone actually say it. I have made it thru the anxiety (mostly), the uncontrollable leg movement, "poops", and severe pain.  I am now down to just jaw pain/tension and fatigue.  Hopefully those will subside soon.  Best of luck to you all!
PS  I bought some Simply Sleep after just one nite of being up all nite and it seems to work w/o any side effects.

You mention jaw pain, was this from a prior injury of some sort? The reason I'm asking is because Jaw Pain is one of the first signs of cardiac arrest. If you haven't had any prior problems with your jaw, I would see a Doctor as soon as possible!!

funny you should mention that.  the reason i decided to quit was b/c last week i think i took a little to much of "my friends".  i got very quesy, confused and just felt a way i could not explain.  stayed in the bed for 36 hour after that.  i have slowly come back to life...but i do still feel a little funny.  thought that might just be b/c i've went cold turkey.  the thought crossed my mind that i may could have possibly went thru something coranary....but i dismissed it.  i do have TMJ and i'm hoping i'm just grinding my teeth at nite.  i would be terrified to go to the doc and say i think i may have had a heart attack b/c of an overdose.  what cha think?
