crawling skin feeling

Please help me.  I cannot deal with the crawling skin feeling. I have six pills left. I don't want to take them anymore but cannot deal with this feeling. I have zero longer so I can't even buy epsom salt or apples-the things I hear that help with this feeling. Someone should put together wwithdrawal baskets or care packages! I need help with this crawlinf sensation or I won't quit.

Hey sweetie... Sorry your feeling like this... You should get rid of your pills BC if you have them you have take them and it will only prolong your WD's. Keeping busy, getting your mind off of it, will help alot!! Utilize us here and we will help u. You can do this!

You are so lucky to live somewhere warm where you could lie in the sun.  It's freezing here in VA.  I'm so jealous!  Great advice :)

Hang in there and keep posting!  We are all here for you.  The WD is no fun, but your acute systems will not last more than a week.  I would not take the pills because like Rosy said, they are only prolonging the WD.  I tried to taper several times and didn't have the willpower so I finally surrendered and went CT.  Take as many baths or showers as you can; even if you don't have the epsom salts.  They are really cheap if you can get them, under $5- they really helped me.

Listen to Terri....your not alone by any means.  Hot baths are great.  Of all teh WDs' the creepy crawling skin was the worst!  And it always happened at night.  MIne last a couple nights then went away...then reappeared a week later for a night.  Then again last night....its odd but keep at it.

As Rosy mentioned get rid of the pills if they are tempting.  I'm trying to do this with the pills in my possession although i've cut off the dr.so no more...not easy.

You can do this Marisah
