im sorry your having a tough time right now, but your almost through 2 days now so stay strong, this awful feeling won't last. don't give in now, soon you will be feeling better and be free from the pills. your are strong enough to do this, but it's not easy at first. i don't know about pills, but have seen so many here come off them and doing great now. please don't give in, you can do this and i bet in a few days you will be starting to feel better. hang in there and good luck

PLEASE keep going you are going past day 3, it was my worst too and I felt a little better and felt that I would live.  Just hang in if you need someone to cry with I'm here for you.  Crying is sometimes cleansing too.

oh and Alex, I ran cold water on my legs when they hurt so bad and kept jumping hope this helps Lord I tried everythng for the RLS.

It ***** and is the worse feeling in the world.But it gets better eventually!  I read somewhere where if you put a bar of soap in your bed under the fitted sheet that it somehow helps with the RLS stuff.  I didn't find this out until afterwards but heck it's worth a try.

You've proven that you are strong enough to face the withdrawals. Now you have to hang tough. Aren't you angry about how you feel? The drugs are the cause of that feeling. So who's going to win this battle? You, or an inanimate, harmful pill? Don't give in. It gets better as time passes. You've got a few days ahead of you that you won't like. EMPHASIS on a few days. If you start using again, how long will you be drugged out? Just keep on doing what you're doing. Abstaining. Best wishes. Stay strong. Learn to hate the drugs.

LOL I did all that and took the 3 tbsp's of mustard it didnt help me but I could have swore it did lol

Can you get to walgreens or CVS ad get Restful Legs, Its for RLS I took about 4 under tounge and my legs stopped hurting so I could sleep. Clay TX

Try not to look too far ahead.  All you have to do is get through today.  If you end up taking another pill, it's not going to do a thing for you anyway.  You only have a few more days and you are getting into the worst of it right now.  I know it's hard w/the anxiety and hopelessness-but it does pass.  Let the tears fall, get on here, journal, talk about it.  Just keep in mind that it doesn't last forever.  Your body is trying to re-balance itself and the chemicals it produces so you get an overwhelming surge of emotions.  We are always here for you.

bananas and vitamins helped me with the RLS.  Replaced the potassium and magnesium and all the other minerals.  Maybe it was psycological, but it worked for me.
