You have support here and your husband, even thought not the same amt can understand the hold these meds get on you life.  Please hang in there.  I know what yoy mean when it gets hard to type butyou need to clear your mind and write down what you're feeling.  Lots of good people out here!

I hope you can get some sleep, if you wake up in the middle of the night just uneasy or irritable, please post.  I'll pray that you are able to sleep through the night.  I always think if I can make it those 8 hours asleep, I am not feeling the "yucks".  

Remember we are all here for you :)

Oh honey, your doing so amazing.  Are you tapering?  Cold turkey?  You mentioned disappointing dh, does he not know of the hold the meds have on you?

Listen girl I am here, if you just want to babble and type keys, I will be here.  I know when I am going through wd's I don't want to sit still, I don't want to think, or type.  I have thoughts, want to share them, but don't have it in me to type it out.  So if you just want to babble, you are surrounded by those that care.  Babble away :)

Are you a coffee drinker?  Maybe a cup of tea or coffee?  Some Immodium AD for the cramps when they come.  A little Advil for the aches.  I know it won't compare to the meds themselves, Hold on love your a strong woman and you can do this
