I could, but not without dropping the $550 in his hand first; and that's cash I won't have for at least another 4 weeks.
As far as my withdrawals go, I'm coming up on a week now of cutting everything down by half. I'm not sick to my stomach anymore, which is good, but the insomnia has come back with a vengeance. I'm taking some melatonin to counteract it. I'm getting "weepy" again, which I haven't been in a long time. I'm losing my patience a lot quicker, so I've warned my family and coworkers that anything I might say or do, I don't really mean it, just in case. Then again, they all know me and how I am, so that's a relief (I think).

Splitimage - the doctor originally wanted me to be on a higher dose for all of my meds, but I refused. I have almost ZERO tolerance to medications of any kind (heck, half a beer and I'm done for the night), so we figured the lowest dosages for me would be better to work with. I am not looking forward to ending this, but at the same time, I'm kind of relieved to know that once the general withdrawal yuckiness passes, I *should* be back to "normal."
