LOL  "I'm an addict,not a doctor"  More addicts should BE doctors!!


Yabby: You should be fine but let us know if any symptoms pop up. Drink a lot of fluids: water,gatorade,juices...I would just stop it cold turkey...Good luck!

If you've only been taking one 10 every twelve hrs and only for about a month it shouldn't be too bad, I wouldn't say that its something to be ignored but in my experiance and this is only my opinion, I'm an addict not a dr. You should probablly just go it cold turkey, you may feel some discomfort in your stomach and a touch of rls but not too bad, your body has developed a dependancy after a month but if you look on this forum there are great methods like the Thomas recipe and the amino acid protocol that will guide you through the proper steps to rebuild what your body needs and help you with any discomfort....
Good luck and whatever you do please for yourself stop while your ahead, it will only get worse the more days you take it and the more you up the dosage...
