DAY 22 AND FEELING PRETTY GOOD

today i have been clean for 22 days. wahoooooo. went to see sub doctor today he said im doing good, and next month we are gonna start the tapering. i have been having some problems with my anxiety disorder, so he put me on lexapro cause he dont want me taking adivan with the sub cause it could cause death. he said the anxiety disorder and just the sub giving me anxiety(a side effect) is why i been having so much trouble sleeping. so he siad the lexapro should help with it, and if it dont help with sleep he wants me on a sleeping med. but beides all that. all is well here. got lots to do for the wedding from today and on. im getting so excited. i cant wait. hope everyone is doing good today?

Yes, I was prescribed ambien from my addiction doc and their is not contraindication according to her. This didn't work for me as I took ambien a long time while addicted to opiates. I amnoe presribed Rozazem 8mg. Not helping me either. My tolerance to benzos and opiated are really high! Try the ambien 12.5 time released and by God, don't chew them or they def will not work long.
