I feel awful. I don't know if it's withdrawal? I was only taking something in the afternoon/evening, and just a "normal" dose, not a huge amount. Maybe a little more than a normal dose?

My head hurts, I'm hot/cold, my fingers feel pins and needles, I'm sleepy. I think my heart is palpatating. I'm anxious. My tummy is upset. I don't know if it's withdrawal, or just anxiety from trying to get through the day without taking anything.

I am trying to take it one day at a time - when I think about not taking anything tomorrow, or the next day, or the next day, it's scary. Just today. I can take something tomorrow if I have to.

Ugh. My head!

I am so ashamed. I've been so dishonest by omission with everyone around me. I feel like a horrible, terrible person. I'm thinking about calling T and leaving a message about what is going on.

I'm not even sure if I'm doing the right thing.

Just thought someone here might understand.

It sounds like you are having problems with both withdrawl and anxiety. I know I when I came off of pills I felt anxious just thinking I would'nt be taking them the next day. I wish you luck.
