| Guys & Gals I caved at the end of day 6. I took 4 mg and within 30 minutes felt almost perfect. I have a new found respect for how powerful this crap is. So day 7 I took 4 mg and today day 8 I took 2mg and feel ok at best. I am going to try this taper and get a little more used to the lower dose. Please tell me the withdrawal will be a little better. Ive been pretty hard on myself. I feel like I relapsed even though my doctor had no idea I was gonna just up and jump. She wanted me to start slowly tapering 1 to 2 mg every other day from what i was taking 4 to 8. Like any good compulsive addictive addict I wanted it all and I wanted it now. This drug is some mean ass shit I tell you. I will keep you posted. Thanks for your replys they really help. Peace Out, Moto |
Dude, this stuff is truly powerful and I’m glad you realized that! I think underestimating the binding affinity of Sub is a recipe for disaster, because the w/d can be very long, especially if you consider the PAWS that can follow the acute. Then, people feel like they failed when they cannot handle the acute or cannot snap out of the PAWS. This takes time, whether you jump off high or taper down very low. Either way, this is something you really have to want to do. I tried tapering many times and, once I decided I wanted off, it was something I wanted right then. So, when it got tough because I went too quickly, I’d just throw in the towel and go back UP. Ridiculous! I’m not that smart, though, because I had to do that many times before it finally clicked. This time, I’m making it. I’m down to .125 mg. I started at 8 mg in late Oct. ’10. As you can see, it can take a while! And 1/8 mg is still a potent dose, believe it or not. I still have a ways to go, since I’d like to ease off it and not be miserable or miss out on anything. However, I can feel the progress I’ve made. Your body is much happier when you let it gradually let go, rather than shocking it by taking away something it relies on to operate normally.
Try to be patient. Why make yourself sick? Moderation is a huge victory in itself. There may seem to be progress in pain, but it will eventually wear you out. There’s no deadline. All the time I spent pushing it and then giving up….if I had just been moderate and patient, I would have been done years ago. Just don’t give up if this is something you really want.
