Reducing the dredded patch.

no I haven't becides the Hostipal system up here is so bad they can't find a thing Evan after a MRI said facet joint arthritis canal narrowing and a bunch of other crap I can't understand .

down to 20 day 6 I think a train and a bus just hit me I'm so sick no pain no gain hey can't wait till bed time . Think I might be wandering the halls waiting for my legs to burst into flames it's a big fight.

??? anyone get a horrible taste and smell withdrawing if I am at all sure it's mental. This is the givt that keeps on giving. lol I hate it and I still got a 20 mcg on.

starting to feel like I can do this then bang I'm feeling sick again don't know what is going on but I am not
going bak up in strengh.

You can do it Braddo...you are doing it....tough stuff I know, but you are slowly succeeding. I understand your pain and torment, but you will win...keep going..one foot in front of the other....dig deep....and deeper.

All the best Braddo, take care too 🙂

braddo, i am not sure how long you have been on these meds for but you certainly are trying to come down off notone but 2 different meds quite quickly AND at the same time so if you have been on them for a while i can understand why you are having a tough time but you seem committed so remember that the witdrawal side of things will gradually improve. as for the more acute smell and taste, i have seen that with people coming of meds like valium- perhaps if you use the principles of distraction- flavored gum may help cover any troubling tastes and i don't know what you think of menthol type smells but remember the vicks sinus inhalers- it just menthol in a stick that clears your sinus but it is also such as strong odor that it may help - if not that perhaps you can think of some other perfume/ essential etc you can have on a handkerchief and inhale to try to cover smell sensations- just a thought that might help- i know when i was going through a withdrawal the most annoying thing with repeated yawning and watery eyes- did not last long- a few days but was annoying

norspan for 4 months valium same thought I was lover the worst untill last night today I feel ok I'm doing it tough
mentally more than anthything . I think I read to much on the net pain at times is tremendous . so I'm stating on the one patch for a wile and trying hard to only take val as little as possible 6-7 mg a day and gradually decrease . I'm trying to rush it and I'm paying big time 10 days on the 20 patch seeing doc today.

well I'm on a ten norspan as of tonight. that's all I got to say. he he probably not later
oh well wish me some luck.

wondering if jump of at ten today or Waite or drop to five then jump off pain isn't that bad. It has been way worse
I know you GUYES can't give medical advice. It just helps to put it up. so don't panic I'm just over the WD. And my heart this morning sort of jumped and gurgled then bested really hard and whet back to normal. feels like it's fast but it isn't.

almost stayed of ten for about ten mins then the mental pain kicked in anxiety dam thought I could do it put a ten on panic
attack at 4 am is no fun . Don't know how I can make this weighting on here is a little of a destruction especially after spending the day in Hostipal . my leg pain got so bad I couldn't take it. than I got claustrophobic hate hostipal's. All they found was a kidney stone.

Braddo kidney stones can be very painful in the wrong spot especially if it is trying to makes it's way out and it is too large, these have reduced the manliest man to a blubbering mess trying to pass them out.

Don

still stuck on ten dam dam I got so sick the gp told me to slow down. so I'm staying on ten for awhile and pain has reduced some days I'm doing more walking fishing . juSt got wobbly legs feeling. oh well we will see how it goes. There are days where I feel I can beet this and I get smashed and down .

Keep up the good work braddo!you were obviously on opiates/benzos for a long time, so it will take time t adjust, just keep going steady, the end is nigh but you mustn't rush it, you've done really well already and should be proud of ya self mate!

Thanks only problem is the benzo have to take them for the norspan withdrawel . only a small amount MABY in a month or so I will be free have learnt a huge lesson on rushing things. 😉 one thing at a time I'm so into my fishing again best distraction just bought a new rod.

Nice one!hope you catch a big un!lol.the first fish on a new rod is always memorable, my first on my new rod was one of them sucker fish that stick to big sharks and gets a free ride, so quite unusual off the jetty and slightly concerning too considering it was nearly a metre long!must be some big sharks about!any way have fun mate, it's a good distraction and a great opportunity to reflect and think about things aswell.

Tom.
