Stay positive and good job.  You can do this. Try to drink lots of water and take vitamins. If you took the week off then try to not take any of the other prescribed meds. You don't want to trade one habit for another so be careful :).  Even if you don't want to try to take walks and keep busy.  I like talking natural calm it's a magnesium powder that helps me with my restless legs at night. Every one says the worst is over in about 4 to 5 days. Lots of hot Epsom salt baths. Good luck and keep posting :).  Stay strong

Man I wouldn't mix the GABA with Xanax. Just me though. I did pretty much same thing. Xanax, Gatorade, and a few beers for 3 straight days. Once the nausea/pill images went away I got the vitamins from GNC and started. I never liked Xanax so I knew it wasn't an issue for me personally. Just a tool for me. If I were to ever do it again I'd leave off the beer lol. Anyway, lessons learned. Live right n do right. Be safe bro n hang in there.

Hey just lost my original post to you, I don't know why and hate when that happens.  It was a good one too. Lol,  

Just lending support here man.   Tram?  Tramadol, ...if that's what you mean, please reconsider or at the very least do a little research first.  I just got prescribed that for my dog a couple months ago, and....NO f*cking way!!
You think you're going through h*ll right now?.......just wait till you have to get off the Tramadol!  I couldn't even do that to my dog!  

Hmmph, maybe this us why I couldn't submit my first post,....I didn't see the remark you made about the "trams" originally.

I wish you much success and support, prayers of strength and hope.

Hi  I just wanted to encourage you to push threw this by know your into acute withdrawal just know it is 1/3 phyical and 2/3 mental so prepare to fight on both fronts keep forcing the fluids gator aid is good get out of the house as much as you can walking is good pick up some movies for late night most people dont sleep  get some epsom salt and soak in it a hot bath goes a long way in taking the symptoms away and the epsom salt will help with the restless legs as always keep posting for support and just know you can do this we all want to help good luck and God bless...................Gnarly......................
