Also call the dr that prescribed them to you and let them know they can call you something for the anxiety and give you better advice on how to withdrawal...God bless you please learn never to go back this pain is worse than  probably what you started with...It will be over soon...I like to always remember also that it took a while get to the amount we were taking so it will take a while to heal...the sooner the better...call your doctor though see what they can offer....

Many will be on to help you out. I can recommend for now you look at the Thomas recipe. There are many ways to go about this, and some seem to work better than others. I have heard that chamomile tea actually helps. One thing I KNOW from personal experience is that soaking in warm baths temporary help. No joking, even though it's not hours of help, it's help, and in the state I am guessing you are in, it's something.

Thomas recipe, if it's safe (also if you are not pregnant) chamomile tea, Motrin (if it's safe for you), and stay online with us, many supporters here.
