Honestly, neither should be taken care of on your own. Three years ago, I tried coming off kalanopin on my own numerous times and I kept having seizures from the withdrawals. Age wasnt the factor, I was 27 at the time. The third seizure was life threatening enough to give me the wake up call that told me I needed to go to a place to detox appropriately. Doing it that way i didn't have any life threatening withdrawal symptoms. Proudly, I have not touched a pharmaceutical since. Seriously though, be VERY careful. Alcohol and benzoes are the two substances that the withdrawal can actually kill you. Coming off of these substances should never be taken lightly. Good luck, i hope you pull through. |

Trust me on this.... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56663066 i wish i could but im out. missed my appointment. so its just suffer til it goes away i guess Did you intentionally miss your appointment? Did you plan for this detox? Or did you just sort of wing it? It sounds like you may not have planned appropriately for a tapering. Trying to bring GLP together.

The only time I smoke too is at night. As long as I get enough sleep and drink water before bed I seem to feel okay, but some days i know I've overdone it. I know it's a habit of boredom, but haven't been able to shift the behavior...yet. Thanks OP for being a good influence, take care and keep us posted.
