No they wont kill you we tend to build them up in our minds until they take on a life of there own .Do get me wrong they s uck I think it worse because we know its coming if we didn't it would be like the flu where you could not sleep well.Any type of exercise you can get helps even if its just walking .There is something called the amino acid protocol its in the right hand column its has supplements that can help your body heal.Also hot baths are a life saver .Hang in there ...Let us know how you are.

Hi~  The good news is that the withdrawals won't kill you but you won't feel good at all;
similar to the flu.  Are you able to taper that dose down over the next few weeks? Maybe
have someone hold the pills and give you a specified amount per day? Or do you just want to stop now?
