Hi..........how long have you been taking the vikes??  There isnt an easy way to do it but you can do it........There will be some sort of wd's.  Are you planning on going cold turkey or are you wanting to taper?

Sarah is right...there is no easy way.

Since your intake was minimal, the withdrawal should be as well.

If you work, take a few days off. You will feel like you have the flu so get ready for that. Take hot baths often...and HOT. Exercise if you can. Even a short walk will help. Keep yourself busy to keep your mind off of what is going on. Please check out the health pages at the top right for "The Thomas Recipe". I like everything about it except the Valium. Please remember to push fluids and eat. Most import, don't let yourself get dehydrated.

It will all be over (the physical part) in a few days so hang in there. Stick around here. It helps to talk about it as you go along.
