what are your worst withdrawal symptoms?? mine were extreme FATIGUE a that lasted almost a week. couldnt get out of bed, major depression...couldnt even get an rx for it filled because i was so freaking depressed. bottom line....cant live with (out it) and cant live knowing that i cant have a normal life with it. my question is..... should i try again without it and just deal with the depression and learn to cope ?"
Hey Tooold. Mine was it all...fatigue, axiety, fear, cramps, nerves, anxiety, cramps, fatigue.........
But it passed. It'll pass for you too. It's no easy, it's bloody hard work truth be told, but getting off whatever it is you're on will be the best thing you ever do!
My life is far from normal....but then when have i ever been normal? What is normal? I'm not too sure....
Today i am going away camping for the weekend up north of scotland, last week i was rafting up scotland too, and on the 26th june i am going skydiving. Normal? I'm not sure.....
What i am sure of is these events would not have been possible if i was still using. Getting clean was the best thing i have ever done. Not only do i not need to take drugs today, i can live my life and enjoy it! Don't get me wrong, everyday it isn't rosey in the garden, there are days when i feel like giving up, but those feelings pass.
Should you try? Of course you should. I don't know where you are in the world, but there's help everywhere for guys like us. Today, i'm dealing with more than just staying off drugs, and where i am in the world there's lots of help with those things, which i am using.
Good luck with everything. Keep posting, for me that helped......Too old for using, but not too old to live life.....

I've never kicked off that stuff, but I'd say since the fatigue and depression were so bad, that a better way would be to taper down. Wean yourself off slowly. That works for just about any drug our bodies get used to.
Ideally, I'd suggest going to see an addiction specialist. He may have some ideas regarding the taper process and maybe other things to treat the depression and so on.
You went a whole week without the stuff! That's huge! Shows you are committed. Now just get a little help. You CAN live without the stuff. You did before and you can do it again.
