| Stephent- Great news-you give me hope! Thank you for posting your taper/withdrawal..it sound like you did the right taper, got through the withdrawal. My take-away is that is wasn’t so bad? D |
Sorry for the late reply. Basically, at the end of it, it was pretty uncomfortable for about two days. Still nowhere near as bad as full agonist withdrawal. Like my other Sub withdrawals (while tapering) it seemed effects came in stages, which made it much easier to manage.
The comfort meds helped. Also, this was my first Sub withdrawal and I have not relapsed since being on it (or off it). Finally, I feel the slow taper made a huge difference.
IF I CAN DO IT, ANYONE CAN! No shame in lifetime maintenance, my habit just did not necessitate that (and I aim to keep it that way).
