Roxi withdrawing...how long?

[concernedwife81]

If you are only taking 45mg of Roxi a day, cut it to 30mg, then to 15mg, then to 7.5mg over a 4 day period and the physical withdrawals are gone, how long does it take for the emotional withdrawals to pass? I've read about PAWS but it doesn't seem likely that it would take 2 years to get back to normal when the addiction was on such a low amount. How long would it really take? It's day 7 and the emotional part is making it impossible to not relapse.

No it won't be 2 years more like probably 30 days.at 20 you will feel ok.Don't let that 2 year thing scare you.I was taking 150-180 or more per day for a year and I am on day 53 and feel just fine.I also have depression from before I even took pills so you should be ok way sooner than that.Dont relapse.You will not be happy.You are already through most of the worst of it.We are here for you.

The emotional part is difficult and that is why so many people relapse but you have to stick it out.  Many of us have suffered thru the emotional part of WDs and have made it.  Living drug free is so much better than being a slave to a drug.  Think about how sick the pills make you feel after a while.  How long did you take them?  Congrats on Day 7 that is a big step.  Don't turn back now.  You have made it this far.
