i am 36 and this has been going on for years. i am so tired of it. i also drink every nite. i may as well be truthful. i will take any pill i can get my hands on. i have scripts for hydro,xanax, celexa and soma. i take them like candy and them w/d all the time. i buy pills and have  even stole them i am ashamed to say. i'm not  a bad person. i function on them i only feel bad now when i don't have them. i don't know what to do. yes i do. but it is killing me.

[diane001]

anywhere from ten to twelve and up to ten hydros a day

[avisg]

try to stay on one thread it gets confusing when you have a few going on.

if you look in the "health pages" you will see something called the Thomas recipe and the amino acid protocol they both help with withdrawl.

Welcome to the forum. I'm glad to see you want to get away from the nasty pills. You will feel so much better clean and not having that monkey on your back! When you are free from counting pills...worrying about refills etc...and you can just focus on your family you will be SO happy you've done this.

To the right of the screen there are Health Pages. Check those out they are full of information!

[avisg]

as far I know xanax does not come in 5mg pills what color are they .you need to be very careful Diane even if they were .25 mg 10 to 12 xanax is ALOT. what wd symptom have you been having

[diane001]

they are peach. i have been shaky, diarhea (diarrhea), nervous, can't eat . the bottle says .0.5 mg. alprazolam.

[avisg]

That is between 5 and 6 mg a day that is alot i am very concerned about that .if wd get to be too much you really need to go to the er

[diane001]

i'll be ok this has been going on for years but this time i am determined to stop. but i will get help if i get too sick, i  found an na meeting for tonite. i think i will go never tried that before. my dad and  brother go but i don't want them to know. i don't want anyone to know this time. i  have even been hiding my using from my husband

[catmagnet]

Hey girl, the first step is to TELL your husband...don't be ashamed, I've done the SAME THING. Including the heavy drinking from time to time. Swallowed the pills with margaritas and beer. Believe me, I'm DEFINITELY not a "bad" person either. No one here will judge you. I seriously doubt if your husband will either. I've been thinking about meetings myself, but I'm making s-l-o-w progress just going solo and with all you guys, of course. I'm too shy to get up in front of people and talk...=/...good luck...cat
