Yes you can! I thought I would die. Minute b minute. 10 min good, 10 very bad. 1 hr bad then back and forth. Today bf my doc appoitment I thought I would pass out just waiting. He was so kind, I felt good after, and now tonight, exactly 12 hrs or so since my last 1/4 perc (down from 3-4 80s a day five days earlier) I'm starting to feel pretty ok.
I had terrible anxiety. always have been in good shape but stopped yoga, exercise when I had baby 2 and started on the pills. the anxiety was horrible once I controlled that, it got better. I could not type this morning, let alone walk, yet here I am, better by the minute. I know the tylenol 3 helped the roughest patch and many may say I am prolonging the enevitable, but if I am not taking oxy, then that is one demon gone. T3, I can take them or leave them after you go to such levels with oxy, tylenol w codeine does nothing, so no high for me just a leveling off .

I had bizarre symptoms day 1. Totally out of left field. Extreme panic, shortness of breath, tingling and pain in abdomen like I was going into labour, and restless sleep, nausea chills sweats (only for one day). Tinitus, foggyness, total and complete loss of control, but at dy 3-4 it's much better. stick with it, it won't be long. I told my husband I had the flu, but h may know. I will tell him when I'm healed. I never got this far in, and I never thought w/d would be this bad, but they are bearable. You can do it. Time is all it takes and the desire to come out the other end. If you stay on the current track, at some point, there is only recovery, jail, or death. I know this. I told this to m brother and he chose death. I lost a friend last week same way. she kept a brave face but she just couldn't continue. I think anxiety is the worst. If you can get a few mild anti anxiety meds it might help. I know it's trading one addicton for another, but if you only get say 7, then tell th doc to NOT give you anymore, then you don't have a choice. I told my doc I wanted o quit so my scrips are over. You can do it!!!!! I'll touch base tomorrow and let you know if I get sleep tonight and how my day 4 with no meds is.
peace!
