stop now???

[desp_needsupport]

just got a message that my pain mgt clinic is closed due to weather--call Monday to "reschedule"--  after I threw away 10 sub strips to make myself do a drastic taper until my appt. today--was planning on just staying with the taper (1mg) for a couple more weeks then quitting, have a busy weekend and am in a way glad, but a bit pissed as what are speople supposed to do if they're out?? they don't care!  it's crazy, makes me want to stop even more but was at least hoping to get a bit lower (and not have things I have to do-- scheduled!!

That's encouraging to hear!  did you have a lot of help in the beginning?  I almost think this warrants a lawsuit of some kind, granted I was on a low dose but what about others that were on 8mg that have to go at least 3 days now with ZERO??  I'll either call them with a few choice words, or get script first then let em have it....lol

Hi there,

I know I did a quick taper being in rehab, but I jumped from 2mg to nothing. It hurt, but I made it through. I am day 31 and kicking some butt. Still not 100%, but I'd say around 85%. You can do it. Really, why start all over again. :)

thank you so much for your quick response!!  I'm just tired of feeling numb and being dependent on them to feel ok.  by time I reschedule (and who knows when I can actually get IN, they said to CALL Monday??  took .5mg yesterday so by Monday I'll be in the worst of it, day 4 or so, why start over; other than the fact that everyone says it's important to be at a much lower dose first, like .25mg or less.  I'm going to take my daughter out for a big breakfast, pick up some hylands, b-12 and lots more food, but I'll be on here soon, thank you tmlb for all you do!!

I am sorry! But unfortunalty they DONT care at all ... I went through this so many times before I "wanted" to quit. I feel you should just stop now, but you have to want too! I never found and this is my own experience it easier to stop when I ran out. I needed to be at my rock bottom and wanted to stop!
Keep posting we will help you through!!
