I'm on day 15 and the worst is constant naseau and insomnia. Gatorade & Tylenol PM helps this some. I've heard it can take 2-5 weeks for the really bothersome worst part of withdrawals to go away, then 3-4 months of less bothersome withdrawals. When I say a year, I don't mean a year of symptoms, but for the drugs to be out of your body. When the symptoms go away it doesn't mean the drug is all gone yet. I've heard some have an occasional symptom for a year. Knowing this makes it easier to deal with. I'm anxiously awaiting the withdrawals to end and feel my self again. It's been 14 yrs! I don't remember what's it's like to be off these stupid drugs. If I had known before about these withdrawals I could have gotten off them a long time ago. I've tried several times to get off them without success because of the withdrawals and the fact no one told me about them. I figured that was just what it felt like to be off the drugs and ran back to them. It's a shame more doctors don't tell people about the withdrawals, people suffer instead. But that's what keeps these drug companies and doctors in business! Shame on them!
