Sorry I didn't write back yesterday. I survived yesterday-YEAH! I took my 2 pills at 5pm. I wasn't having serious withdrawal systems, still the shaky hands, a little irritability, and so tired but hyper. Well today I still feel not so bad. Pretty much the same symptoms as yesterday. It's 3 and I haven't taken the 2 pills yet. At 5pm though, I'm only taking 1 pill. My refill hasn't come in yet and I don't know when, it might be next week sometime. So if I take 1 pill I'll have enough until Monday. If I take 2, I'll only have enough for 2 days. I don't like being addicted to drugs. And I know everyone keeps saying it's not an addiction, just symptoms from withdrawing. Well, I object to that. When you have the shakes, the sweats (like you've taken a shower with your clothes on), hunger pangs after you've just eaten, seeing things, strage dreams, this sounds like when Chris Rock played that crack addic on New Jack City-remember that movie-well I know you remember or heard about that famous scene. Oh yeah, heart palpitations goes with the withdrawal effects too. I've was supposd to have gotten a stress test like last year, but my clinic closed and now I don't have an afforble place to go. I go to a clinic that's supposed to be for low income but when they look at my no-income they say it's too much. But they don't account for my rent, car, car insurance, etc. Once I pay rent and the car note, I have nothing left not even enough for food. So I've learned to juggle and let things be late. I can't do anything about that right this minute. But I have to pay $100 for a doctor's visit. I'm sorry if I have to pay $100 for a visit, I want an xray or something or some blood work. None of that, just a look in my one ear and ok. That's IT.
But I digress-sorry. So it's possible to get off of the medicine gradually. I don't recommend cold turkey at all. And I understand I want to just stop taking the medicine, but that's not smart or healthy. Gradually getting the medicine out of your system is the way to go. I read recently that EXR goes through your blood and passes through your urine. So if you wean off less and less passes through your blood but it's coming out of your urine (at least that's how I see it). So tomorrow will certainly be the real test.
