Your "coke" comment thru me for a minute, too!  Ha!
I'm a Dr Pepper addict......no coffee for me, upon arising I want an ice cold DP on lots of ice with a straw!  Problem is, the caffeine isn't working!
Worked great while using......bam!.....no energy lift now that I'm clean, ha!  Not ready to address that addictiton yet......maybe it will start giving me some energy before too long.
Still drinking it tho and think it is so cool to get online, have an international meeting while sipping a DP!

Hey my friend are you still actively using? I am not judging I just want to know where you are with all of this. So are you taking the pills for pain? You psted you are taking 160 mg/day that's not really a huge amount but again if youran addict 1/2 mg or any is too much. We can help you through this so please come back and talk to us. As far as the online chat your in it here.

This is doable.  Pay special attention to the long-timers here; you'll get great advice and support.  I came off much more than that but I tapered.  Tapering, if done properly, can be done without too much discomfort.  Can you talk to your doctor about a tapering schedule?  Could you stick to it?  If not, CT may be the better way to go.  There's lots of things to ease the withdrawals.  Can you take any time off?
