I was so terrified of WD as well...my friend who had done it before kept telling me that it is not as bad as you think it is gonna be....and she was right...I was bunkered down for the worst....granted it was no picnic and I do not want to do it over and over but it was do-able

jade, this will not be easy, it never is, but we will be here, when things get rough get on here and post and let us know what you are feeling. there are alot of good people that will be here for you.  another thing you need to do is get the thomas receipe.  it has lots of good vitamins and other supplements for withdrawals.  take lots of hot bathes for the aches and chills.  you can do this, it just takes lots of determination and a firm commitment.  good luck

I TAKE 20 MG'S 5 TIMES A DAY DO YOU THINK REDUCING IT TO ONLY 5 MG'S WILL BE OK? HAVE 3 KIDS AND CANNOT AFFORD TO BE REAL SICK

10 pills left is not alot to taper down with. It would be a very fast taper and you will experiance withdrawels. Avis is good with taper plans, so I'll let her take it from there. She'll figure something out for you.
Good luck and keep posting.
