I agree with gg. If going to a doctor is an option i will definetly take that route. Good luck to you and stick around. This forum really is a life saver. There r so many people willing to help and offer support. It really does help. I am over  6 months clean and i owe it all to this forum and the great friends i have met here.

You should definetely go to the doctor...they understand and they can help you to get off of them. The doctor can give you some meds to help with your withdrawal symptoms. Good luck and we are all here to help and to talk to...
