Was scared to death...

[Kfred]

.. after taking 15-20 500mg vics a day for weeks...  I really wanted to quit so I stopped last Tuesday.  I went to the doc and got the 'withdrawl' meds, etc.  Well, I took a few and that was it.  I've since been waiting for the horror I thought would come... It never did.   I thought for sure it'd be a holy hell.  I wasn't.  Couldn't sleep very well for a few days but that was basically it.  I guess I'm grateful but I kinda wish in a way it would have be bad.   I really don't want the roller-coaster anymore.  I'm beginning to think I used to combat stress.  Now what?

clonidine <--sp?  and an anti-psychotic of all things... I must have really painted a bleak picture to the doc.  ;)   anyway, I am a little testy I guess... really chewed out the wife earlier, but I'm not craving pills oddly enough.  I thought I really would want the 'high'...  I quit drinking and pot when I was 21 and now I'm 39.  Don't mean to ramble on but it's just weird to me... especially after reading all the posts.  I'll stick here though for sure, at least to read and maybe post here and there...  G night

A few weeks may not have been long enough to get addicted for u....u just never know tho....for me the physical wds were not the worst part anyway but i am glad u did not have them.....being scared of physical wds is not what makes me want to stay clean...i am not afraid of wds...it is losing myself that scars me

I understand what you mean by wishing it would have been holy hell.  Mine sure was and I'm grateful that I still rememeber the horror.  I never want to re-live that.

What kind of withdrawal meds did you get?  Do tell.
