Feeling Needy

I've been weaning since Saturday. So this is day 6. Felt anxious,  had cold sweats, shaky, insomnia... The worst of it was the first 3 days. It has now been 30 hours since I have taken anything,  and that was just a half. I was feeling great yesterday but woke up in middle of the night feeling restless. I just want to be done with this. I want to not feel wd symptoms. I want to not crave the meds. Ugh.... When will this end? How can I sanely get through the thick of it?

Would love some ongoing support....feeling very needy right now and like nobody gets it. :(

You've already gotten some terrific advice so I can't really add anything except to say you CAN and will do it.  It isn't easy...but nothing good in life ever is.  If you have a regular doc you might want to call and see if you can get a scrip for clonidine...it helps with a lot withdrawal symptoms including craving :-)
