That will stop in a matter of days. Try to relax. Do some thing to keep your self comfortable.
You have been on them for 4 years? Have you never been through withdrawals before???
It can be scary. Not knowing what to expect. I called my granny the first time I went through it.
She always makes me feel better. You know what she told me to do. She said talk to Jesus sweety. So thats what I did. I think you should hit up slapperman and ask him. He is another Person on this site. He is really experianced with this kind of thing. best of luck. . .

Hi and welcome to the forum...sounds like you in the middle of withdrawals..as for how long its going to last....its different for everyone but typically it usually runs its coarse in about 5 days with day 5 being where you start to see the light again...you had a pritty strong habit at 15 a day for 4 yrs so its going to be a grind the next few days...they make something called "highlands restful legs '' you can get it at walmart or walgreens it will help with the leg thing...also a hot bath can do wonders for withdrawal symptoms all together....this may be all you notice but experience tells me your going to get hit with a bit more than this ...try not to get discouraged this is the beginning to getting free of the pills..go into it with a win win attitude and for the next few days your just going to have to be ok without being ok for a wile keep posting with your progress and will try to help you thew this ...there is lots of support here on this site...good luck and God bless.....Gnarly
