earlier you said you might be able to help me with a taper.  I think I might just try to go C/T this weekend.  I have 4 days off from work and ambien to help me sleep.  Any advice?

Thank you matine.  I have been 24 hours tonight without taking anything.  Yesterday I took 12 pills at different points thru out the day.  I am having awful leg aches, totally lost my appetite, and am experience this freaky hot skin like a flame torch is next to me and I'm sweaty, yet I'm still cold.  If I am strong enough not to open that bottle (even if I am having leg. pain in my back) tonight and tomorrow, I'll be able to do this.  Thank you for your help.  What else will I be likely to experience?  When will the symptoms peak?  If I cave tonight and take a dose, I will begin the taper that you have suggested.  but for right now, I really want someone to tell me I'm not going crazy and i'm not really having a heart attack.  When will I feel less shitty.

I just wanted to say YOU made me giggle. I don't need the Jim beam. It is funny how you said even the hangover could be used. Silly, but so true. That was really funny. I never looked at it that way. Thanks.
