Withdrawals now? Are you kidding me!!

So after my long use before I had no withdrawals what so ever! Now after 10 days of using them at less then the recommended dose I feel like I'm dying. I went to er this morning and told them I'm going through withdrawals they asked if I needed a refill... Really??? Stupid!!! I told them no and explained my symptoms I asked for something to help the rls and sweating. They couldn't give me anything because my bp was 104/56 which is too low for clonidine. Now what do I do? This is nuts! I was taking over 10 pills a day and came off just fine and now it seems like its all kicking me in the butt!

That is very true I have been though withdrawal when I was younger and it was hell. When I quit in feb. I was so scared of withdrawals and I had none. Now I do everything right and look what happens. I just hope the night sweats don't last too long. That is always the killer.

Detox can be quite odd sometimes.  My most recent I had, for the first time, that odd metallic smell after I sweated all night in bed.  I mean, like Duracell stench.  So weird.  Sorry to be so gross, the post is you just never know sometimes.  Keep going, you got it.

I don't know why you are having withdrawals now after only 10 days! I guess, it really doesnt matter why, you are just gonna have to get through it! Stressing over it will only make symptoms worse, at least it did for me! Hopefully, it will be very short, and you will be good after a couple of days! Try a heating pad on your feet, or soak them in a warm tub! Get up and get some exercise if you can!

My feet are so cold! I'm mostly feeling the cold sweats a tiny amount of rls, freezing feet and the mental part of not understanding why this is happening after only 10 days. I did read that people can have withdrawals after just 1 week of use but good grief!

Not at the moment there isn't. Everybody is at work.

Is there anyone who would be able to pick up some stuff for you? If not, then do the best you can, with what you have available! Hopefully you will feel better soon!

I'm trying to do the best with what I have here. I don't feel it's safe for me to drive anyplace right now.

Hi mommy, well it sounds like the first time you went through detox, you dodged a bullet! Now, this time you are just going to have to buckle down and ride it out! Get the Thomas Recipe stuff and follow the process! I know that's easier said than done! I would not think that at your recent usage and short time it really shouldn't be too bad! Hopefully, just a couple of bad days, and then it should ease up quite a bit! You can get through it! Stay strong and get up and moving as much as possible! Lots and lots of water & fluids! Immodium for the bathroom issues! Take care!
