this morning is not so good

[keystock]

So this morning I feel like **** I'm shaking and have this feeling like I'm gonna die I know its my brain saying this so I will take more meds but dang this iss aweful and I don't want the last few days to be for nothing and I know what's going on so that does make it a little easier. I'm a 5mg hydro 4xdaily. I'm down to 5mg 5mg 4mg 4mg and this is worse then when I spaced to every 5 hours and got to 3x daily and I don't get why? Probly cuz I'm doing it way different then any other attemp I've made but I don't wanna back track to change it or it would be to easy to just get into my old habits right? I'm gonna go eat and shower and attempt to get ready for work I'm gonna be late for. I hate this I can't wait til its over. I'm so glad I'm not alone and have people to talk to and who are going threw this too. Not that I'm glad that anyone else is going threw this just glad I'm not alone. Hopefully this passes and the am dose kicks in soon and this **** feeling can wait til I get off work.

hey girlee ...hey just hang in there I just finished a 8 1/2 mo methadone taper
and had withdrawal symptoms wile I was tapering also...you just got to be
"ok without being ok" for a wile...remember it is only temporary....use your
symptoms to strengthen your resolve to quit....I use to say to myself...
nothing is going to have this control on me anny more and it would help
out with the mental part emenecly ...your mind can be your bigest asset
or your worst enemy ..its a choice you have to make ..go into this with
a win win attitude and you can come out strong....tapering is tuff your body/mind
will fight you and you have to fight back ...it is doable...I kicked a 10+yr pill
habit and 6 1/2 yrs of methadone if I  can do it any one can..you can do it to
good luck and god bless...Gnarly

The shower and food helped some. Thank you both for your support this morning. I'm biting or cutting what I think is 1mg off. I wonder if I would feel the same if I did ct? I'm not feeling to bad but then I'm not feelin great either so I'm wondering how bad it could be? I don't like to admit it but I did use methamphetamines when I was in high school and coming down of those ct is similar to this. I haven't done that stuff for 10 yrs. But if the wd are so similar I've done ct n it involved being sick n forcing down food fot two days n day three wasn't to bad. Does anyone know?

Just try to remember that THIS TOO SHALL PASS...I know it's hard right now..but you will be OKAY....SOON.....

I'm glad that you are trying to WORK thru this feeling... (i.e. getting up to eat, shower and go to work)... Hopefully just doing these things will ease some of your w/d symtoms for now....

Hang in there and have a REALLY GOOD DAY...
And.... keep on posting on your progress... We're HERE for YOU!
