I agree with the others. Even though your dosage wasn't that high, you were on them a long time. How did you taper? Definitely bring your doctor on board. He may want you to do more of a taper. (Some people tapering from methadone or suboxone taper down to the the last milligram.) Or he may give you Clonidine to help with the withdrawals. It's an old medication that was used for high blood pressure. It helps ease the withdrawal symotoms. Your BP will most likely elevate during withdrawal. While it helps with that, it somehow also helps with the other symptoms as well. (I was prescribed it for nerve pain.)
You'll get great support here no matter what way you do it. The supplements in the Thomas recipe will also help manage the withdrawals.
In general, it's safe to do a fast taper or cold turkey, unless you have any underlying health issues.
I definitely agree with ViCourageous. Due to your history of heart issues and operations, I also would suggest you consult with your Dr. on this one. Please keep posting on here and let us know how you are doing. Good Luck and God Bless. We are always here for you if you need to talk. I wouldn't wait too long on calling your Dr. because you said you stopped taking these pills 36 hours ago. Tomorrow will be 2 days without. I would call your doctor tomorrow and try and get in asap!
Hi & Welcome..It seems to be slow right now..We can assist you and hold your hand all the way on here..BUT I would be talking to the DR becasue of your Heart Issues. When we go through w/ds it plays havoc on the Heart and or the BP..I would like you to be Safe. Other then that you did not take High Doses and you would stop & start..From my experience your detox will not be as bad as some..BUT like I said PLEASE get the DR involved OK?? You can stick around here too..GREAT CARING SOULS OUT HERE.
