I found after getting proper diagnosis and treatment for being bipolar that I wasn't abusing my prescribed meds because I am an addict ( still consider myself sober 15 years) but because I was so desperately trying to feel normal There's a huge difference! Therefore it was very easy to quit now that I'm fairly stable. I hope this is the case with you! I also drank way too much caffeine and the withdrawals from that alone was terrible! Now one cup in morning. I don't care what docs say about cold turkey on meds. Addicts bodies are different. It could be a simple med that you would never suspect and maybe only took it for a a week but your body decides to go haywire when u stop. Lots of love to you. Pay attention to your body and be safe!

No matter how small, a positive change deserves to be celebrated!
