The FEAR usually is worse! So glad your over the hump and doing well.
Thank you for the advice people - since saturday I have tapered of and today I am completely off... I drink maybe 2 cups a coffee at work and that is it..
Guess the fear of wd's were way worse :o)
Yes I would agree that it is the caffeine that you are wanting when you take these. Knowing that should simplify things for you. You may want to just have some coffee or tea instead. It would be easier on your stomach and organs. You can then taper the coffee down if you wish, or don't .LOL
tea also has a calming chemical in it. It may be your best choice.
I went into rehab, because for some reason, medicinal caffeine wasn't allowed, but coffee and soda was. So, I just had a cup of coffee in the morning, and the caffeine in that took care of the headaches through the opiate w/d, and when I got out of rehab, I would occasionally skip my cup of coffee to get my body less dependent on it. Now, I have the luxury of taking one aspirin and it actually helping with whatever pain I feel, because my body was no longer used to it. Mentally, it may seem like taking the aspirin that frequently would help, but I found that after not taking it for a while, I didn't need it that often after all. It was just mental. I hope this helps.. =)
