      Good Morning Kdog, I was up all night, finally feel asleep at 6am and here I am awake at 9:00. My Dr told me not to take anymore Librium :-( but I made it to day two! How are you today? you stop the same time I did, I think.

        Aww Stumpy, hun.
        Fingers crossed your Doc can come up with another plan.


        Kdog. The first 2/3 days can be rough, it will pass, honest.

        Remember the sleep fairy is very unkind to us in the early days, just try and rest when and where you can.

        Oh and loads of lemon juice in water.

        You're both doing great.

          Jackie, Thank you, My doc ordered me some clonazepam, I took one and feel better. I have to take three a day for two days then taper down each day to 21/2 then 2, 11/2 I should be done with that by the end of next week. I had bad anxiety this morning. I'm eating fruit, bought some lemon too for my water. My head feels like there is a tight band around it but I can deal with that. I think day 3 and four will stink a bit but I will handle it. I don't even want a drink.

            That sounds like my valium detox but mine was over 7 days.

            With any luck you'll sleep like a log tonight. I treated myself like I had a bad dose of flu. Plenty of fluids and pain killers for the aches and pains.

              Kdog, I'm off the librium, I'll never touch that stuff again. Made me sick, my leg got numbm, dizzy bad. so he put me on clonazepham 1 mg and it seems to be calming me down YAY. I was only drinking 6 glasses of wine a night but was scared to quit CT. Kdog, 4 seems like a lot when I couldnt take one but as long as your not sick from it, would continue with the Dr.'s plan. My last drink was Thursday at 8:30 we are going to get through this!!!

                Jackie, That is exactly what it feels like "the flu" today, headache a little sick to the stomach. At least the pill put the anxiety to rest. My doctor told me to go for a walk today, yeah right, I'm lucky I can sit up right now lol. I'll walk tomorrow. I heard the day 3 is even worse? Any advice?

                  Never heard of that. I actually started feel like a human being albeit a very weak human being but human.

                    Well, that's good news. I always heard that you peak with withdrawals at around 72 hours AF. I'll get through it.

                      Check with your Doc. I was always under the impression that was if you were going cold turkey.

                      It would be really interesting to find out from him, Stumpy.

                        You're getting through it....Keep pushing the fluids...a little food and stick close to the site for the encouragement, good advice and distraction it offers.

                            Jackie, I think you may be right. I'm still having some symptom, they come and go. So far it's not as bad as I thought.

                            Thank you Turagain, I'm been drinking mostly water and now a giingerale, I just had two bowls of chicken soup. I had a quick thought about a glass of wine, it passed...thank god. I do not want to drink!!

                              Glad to hear you found something else to help you, I too feel like I have the flu, although better today than yesterday, yesterday was awful, managed to do a bit of house cleaning even! Still a bit shakey but thats not as bad either. Hopefully you will feel better tomorrow.
                              Thank you Jackie for your support and advise, I really appreciate you all!

                                I found it helpful to eat something sweet. In the time since I did this, I've learned that your body actually is craving the sugar from the AL we were drinking. Having cookies and some candy on hand really helped. Don't let yourself get hungry...and keep pumping water. You are doing great!! (altho it doesn't feel like it now). You don't ever want to have to do this again so stay strong! Push thru it! Byrdie
