Thank you mistyeyes, but i think i'am going to give tapering another chance, yesterday i took just 5 and told my husband to hold the rest. Today he left me 5, so I pray that i can do this. I've only been on them since last Nov. of 2003 so that is little over a year. What do you really think? Should i try tapering again, and just keep posting and you guys keep pushing me? Thanks again for taking time to keep posting me back and listening, everyone!
Tapering is fine, glad you have someone to hold your pills.....That is so important. You can do this....just believe in you....
Abby........sorry, had to see my husband off to work.
Ofcourse I really think you can do this on your own! I know you are an addict.................BUT..........I believe you are in the early stages. If you make up your mind, get some support, let your husband help you taper, and pray......you can do it!!! You have to really want it , though, and I think you do.
And of course we will be here for you and talk to you as much as you need. We will do that whether you stop or not, silly!
I also think you need to advise your doctor. Cut off your supply. The temptation to get more will be there, so you need to burn that bridge. And you may need something for anxiety. Some will say that is a bad thing, but I truly do not think I could have quit without something for my nerves. Again, that is just my experience, you may not need anything other than the things you already listed. Imodium, something for sleep (Benadryl), motrin, B12 and more B12......potasium, Gatoraide, and some time to yourself. Do you work? Can you take some time off if you do?
What exactly are you taking now? Are they 7.5's or 10's? How many do you have left, including refills? Get back to me and we'll work out a plan, if you decide to try it! Take care today!

MollyJean, just remember when you take your furst dose of sub to give it time to work, about an hour before taking another dose. Some doctors want to start you at 16mg, I only needed 8mg and 16mg made me feel nauseous and drunk.
You wont have to worry about taking too much because after a certain amount (8mg for me) it was counterproductive and made me feel worse. As time goes by you can find the dosage your comfortable on and stay there a while. Also as time goes on you'll need less and less to feel comfortable, thats when its time to wean.
Good luck
