Crawling out of my skin from withdrawal!

[wenn7555]

Hi, I originally posted on 4/5 & started my withdrawal and have tapering off since. Today is my one last pill to take. I feel like I'm going to crawl out of my skin! I've been  doing all the suggestions everyone has posted which helped & would have been worse without. The RLS was so painful but the Hylands Leg Cramps helped tremendously. Im having trouble with the mental part & keep thinking will one more Vic help? We know where that gets us & we keeping taking more. I know I have come too far to think that way but it was 10 years since I've been taking Vic's & it's not going to take over night to get through it. But the worst is feeling like I'm crawling out of my skin & i toss & turn all night. I feel bad for my husband so in the middle of the night I try & sleep on the couch so he can at least get some sleep. I'm also taking Lexapro for the depression & small pieces 1/4 of Xanax for the anxiety I've been having. Anyways, any suggestions would help. I know you all been through this & posting here helps me tremendously! Knowing there are people like me & not be ashamed about it. OK I'm rambling as I'm so tired. Please help!!! THANK YOU ALL!!

I feel this is my support system. But I know I need to either go to NAbut not sure if I can do that, but maybe counseling?
