>Jenico:
thanks for your support.. Yes I expect things to get a little rough but the way I see it ,,, if we think negative about this , then it will be.. I am trying to keep a positive attitude.
Yes I had acupuncture today and told the acupuncturist where i was at my schedule.. He said yes..."now we get serious with withdrawl" and he is so supporting of me . He's bumped up the visits to once a week now and we will go from there how I feel.. then cut back again. He also told me that if I feel more tense, or real down, to not hesitate and come in sooner.. He is really dedicated to help me through this once and for all.
I feel more even mood tonight after todays treatment. I was more down yesterday so this has definitely helped...
I am also starting with my meditation again.. and visualizing myself getting out of this.
Other than that my sleep is kinda stressed but I am managing and the acupuncture will help with this also... I find if you dont stress about not sleeping it is ALOT better and then you do sleep..
Im not gonna worry about every symptom.. just try to keep busy.Today is day 7 off and still going along!

> It's going to get rough, just know that and prepare yourself. I breezed through the first week and a half, relatively problem-free (with the exception of insomnia which is a given for me). My doctor told me at day 14 that any affects I should have felt from the medicine would have been completely gone by then. But we here know differently. Around days 15+ I hit a wall and couldn't recover, and as you know started back 5 days later(but I had stopped cold turkey).
