Norco withdrawls

I went ahead and started a new post.  Today is 31 days off of Norco, I was taking gabapentin during this process for nerve pain control.  I'm not sure if it was helping me with my anxiety cause I stopped taking that about 6 days ago and my anxiety has been terrible, probably the worst it has been throughout this whole process.  I was prescribed Ativan for the anxiety but have only taken that a few times over the 31 days.  I'm trying to get to the point where I don't have to take any prescribed medications but sometimes this anxiety is really bad!!!! I feel so uncomfortable with myself.  Any ideas?  I appreciate everyones help and support, thanks captian.

Music helps me alot with the anxiety. I literally keep my lg tone on me every minute of the day. Idk if ur a big fan of music but it really does work miracles in my opinion. Hang in there. It will get better.

Thank you for the tip, I've been trying to stay as busy as I can and not let the anxiety take over.  I hope it will get better soon it's really a drag!! Some days are pretty good and some days are horrible.

congrats on 31 days!!!

anxiety and lack of energy linger for long after the acute withdrawals subside.

read, watch movies, exercise, meditate find a new 'love' that relaxes you.

if i could have thunderstorms everyday, anxiety would never be an issue.  i can however; listen to cd's with storms and other nature sounds.
