I to was scared of withdrawal. Blah, it wasn't pleasant, but it was that bad. I thought it was going to be this awful event. I had to stay close to the restroom for 8days.. It's been a year and I don't even remember it. I to used for3 years.. Do it now instead of later.. Bananas was my best friend & my ipad
Hi there
Everyone is different so you may not have withdrawals. If you do, tell your doctor and ask for something to help you through.
I think he is tapering you too fast but if you aren't feeling poorly then maybe he's right.
Don't be afraid to tell him if you think it's too fast.
I think every doctor should have to go through withdrawal to know what it's like lol.
Hi Luallen & welcome. Like you i worried about the wd's for a bit before i actually did it. I went CT after being on hydro (10/325) for 3-4 years...i dont even remember. I was taking more than you daily in hydro form for at least 2 years.
The WD's the 1st few days are not pleasant but check out the Thomas Recipe & hit the store before you quit. I told myself "you have the flu"...im on day 10 and feeling much better. The mental aspect takes a little longer. YOU CAN DO THIS. This site is great for talking out loud basically & getting some support and information.
were all here for ya.....

Well i am on 30mg now for 3 days , have been on 60mg for a year, no sign of withdrawals yet. Ill be going to 15 mg in a couple more days, any chance i might not get the bad withdrawals
That's a very big drop. A taper should be slow. Ask your doctor if he will slow it down.
