I've been loving reading the success stories this past week, inspiring me to get through, so I could share the message of hope. Here's my story:

50-100 mg 7ohm a day tapered with plain leaf. One gram of sr17 lands. I taper for 5 or 6 days while taking Adderall and finding myself feeling as halfway decent as I could while withdrawing from a 3 year habit. Sr17 runs low and I run out of my prescribed gabapentin, so I PANIC and immediately grab 7 with my last $30.

Get money and order another G of Sr17. One more G and the 7ohm runs out, so I immediately take 30-40 mg of Sr17 and jump off, no preload, though I strongly recommend.

Night one, blegh. Day one blegh.

Night two, MISERABLE sleep. Day two, ANXIOUS & TIRED

Night three, BAD sleep. Day three, starting to drag.

Night four, f*ck me, I'm tired of not sleeping well. Day four, my poor girl is recieving the brunt of my anxiety, paranoia and anger. God bless her.

Night five, bad, but tolerably bad. Day five, starting to keep my eyes open and form sentences for conversation.

Night six, wide awake in middle of the night. Day six, wakeup not in withdrawal. Go several hours before taking Sr17. Makes me feel weird instead of better. I poke the bear later on that evening with similar results. This day, I made meals and teared up talking about the results of my addiction with my girlfriend.

Night seven, an expectedly mediocre night sleep. Day seven, today, zero sr17. Pain from surgery and car accident is still a constant 5-6, but I go about my day.

No real urge to use now, just sad about what I have lost: a happy relationship, my weight and appetite, a healthy back, and finances.

If you can, take this route. Once you start, you know there is only one direction to go from there.
