still doing good, getting better every day. Sleep is getting easier and easier. I am getting sick of my room smelling like Icey Hot.

Still doing pretty good. Had a great day yesterday, my favorite ball team throws a perfect game and my hockey team wins in OT last night.
Today, I wake up without any anxiety. Most likely going to watch some more baseball and grill some bratwurst. Still having to take quite a bit of sleeping meds, but its getting better!

Its a little more then a week now, and I feel majority of physical stuff is gone and the mental stuff has really lessened. Last night I had a little bit of tension, but nothing serious. Sleep remains a bit of a challenge, I did not take Ambien last night, but did have to take some Dipenhydramine on top of my Seroquel. It still took me awhile to fall to sleep.
I am going to take a break from updating this. Overall, nowhere near as difficult as I thought it would be. I think I jumped off at the right point. I have had no cravings of any type of mention.

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?

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).

Update:
No idea how long I have been off it, two weeks or something? I could go back and check if I wanted. I am still not at full energy but it is getting much better, appetite is still a little week and my motivation is not where it should be. I do feel it coming back though. I need to just start doing more things.
Legs did tighten and cramp a little last night... first time that had happened in awhile.

Sorry I havent checked in for awhile, but I am good. Can def relate to how youre feeling, some days are betterthan others and my sleep is still off, motivation sucks too but I slowly feel myself getting back to normal. Paws suck but its more of an annoyance than anything. Going back to the gym has helped a ton and my libido came back in full force so now my gf loves me again lol. Ill check bzck in in a few days. We got this
