I have been doing ok with my tapering until today. I was in so much pain I took 5. I was on 2 a day and am soooooooo mad. Someone made a post about a way to help with the /withdrawal sypmptoms??!! It involved xanax and/or others of that type and other stuff to help. Can someone please post that again. I gotta try something and i gotta stop taking these friggin things.

Yes, laying in a hot bath will work wonders, really. And try the 'Thomas Recipe' if you have the money, it' supposed to help for w/d.

I have been it the position of quitting many times and am currently tapering down as well. I think the option between quitting cold turkey and weaning off of them is a personal choice. On one hand, you can quit cold turkey but the withdrawals are going to be terrible, especially if you're taking more than 5 or 6 a day! But then if you wean off by minimizing your intake by 1 pill per two days, you will still experience some withdrawals so you would think that you might as well not take any and get the pain over with quicker! I personally have chosen to wean myself off of them, but that's only because I have had the discipline to not cave in. My close friend quit cold turkey and would take half a xanax to help him sleep every once in a while, but I wouldn't reccomend taking more pills that you can get addicted to! I would suggest taking lots of ibuprofen starting right when you wake up, I actually keep them on my nightstand with a waterbottle, it helps a little. Also, hot baths help the aching a bit and help to relax you. You will have really bad days and you will have some good days. Just focus on getting through each day and keep yourself as busy as you can while being sick. Good luck to you!

Get rid of the pills. You are prolonging the withdrawal.
