Hello all,

Okay thanks for all your thoughts on the Withdrawal Ease but that was not why I started this post.

I stopped the sub’s after a quick tapper down to 0.25 mg. Wednesday was my last dose. I had already started mild withdrawal symptoms (w/s). As of today I am experiencing that brick wall of concentration, chills in my legs mostly while sweating in the upper part of my body, a lack of energy and some diarrhea along with sleepiness and a feeling of restlessness.

From my past 3 or 4 attempts I know that I am doing better than I did before. Okay I am only out to 48 hours but remember I did a quick tapper and had all these symptoms but much milder. Below is a list of things I am taking to help get me through the first full week:

Clonidine, at night to fall asleep,
Ativan, once a day for restlessness,
Imodium AD, for only one reason (you guess it),
Ibuprofen, as need for pain (I feel 50 ft in 1986 and have had a lot of surgeries, right to last year),
Withdrawal Ease, (night formula) one at bed time, (day formula) one with breakfast (my coffee and Pop Tart).

I also have several 0.25 mg pieces and several 0.165 mg pieces, It is my thought that after 5 days if I am required to have some human contact and the withdrawals are too much, than I’ll take one 0.165 mg piece. Hopefully that will be enough. If not I have the 0.25 pieces.

My real question on doing this (Above) is will this disrupt the withdrawal stage I am in at that time causing the withdrawals to be extended?

Also if anyone could give me any idea on what would be a good diet over the next few weeks? I have always just eaten what I wanted but that does not seem to be the case right now? what I am trying to say is that even with the Imodium my poor anus is starting to hurt really bad? (Sorry)

Thank you
