Thanks everyone for your kind, positive and encouraging words.

I have scheduled an appointment with my pdoc and I am going to get him involved. He is very good and I have been going to him for the past almost 15 years.

I have been doing some online research and I have found that Gabapentin does help with opioid withdrawal effects. My biggest fear is the withdrawal itself as I have been through it before and I did not like it at all. I have tried all natural supplements before with no luck. I already know what some of you are thinking: you have to taper down. Yes, I know that is important and I will do that however, I am going to assume that there will still be some withdrawal effects and I am looking to get through this with as little withdrawal side effects as possible. I do fine up until about 24 hours after the last dose when the effects really kick in and it sends my anxiety into overdrive. That is something else I want to talk with the doc with, maybe he can bump up my antidepressant or give me something temporarily to help with the detox.

I will continue to keep this thread open and let everyone know how it goes.
