Hi guys and gals, my name is Bryan and I’m new here and would really appreciate a little advice/support. I have been on 1 mg of sub for over a year now and have decided it is time to stop. I know it wasn’t a huge dose, but I stopped yesterday and am already experiencing some withdrawals. Right now it is more mental than physical (other than the inability to sleep), but it has only been about 36 hours so I know the worst is yet to come. Does anyone know any OTC medications that may help at all? I know nothing will make a huge impact but I’ve read all sorts of different things that people say may help.
Also anything encouraging about whether it is possible to get back to normal or not would be much appreciated. PLEASE don’t post anything negative, such as how I’ll be going through hell for a few weeks or things like that. I already know I’ll be miserable for a while, so please only positive things. Anything I can think of to help me get through this would be very much appreciated. I’m very worried of what’s to come, and I’m already thinking twice about stopping.
Before starting subs I was taking maybe 4 hydrocodone a day, and have been on 1 mg of subs for over a year now, so I’ve never been on huge doses, but I know I will still have a terrible time withdrawing, as it’s been an everyday thing. Thank you all for any support or advice any of you can offer, it is very much appreciated.
