I'm almost 48 hours clear. Just spent today in bed, got no energy to do anything.
My main thing just now is just avoiding people and staying on my own. My family keep shouting at me which does my anxiety and situation no help. I'm telling them I'm ill and to leave me alone biut they don't fucking listen. By tomorrow hopefully I'll be getting back to normal.
never had these sort of withdrawals, very intense and just being chucked into delerium.
DS: If you really think you need Geebie to get through work tomorrow, or even taking some with you as a precaution in case shakes or what not, go get those energy shots. Roby used to chug those sometimes when he was feeling tired. The wee bottle is perfect for putting a measured dose in along with your beverage of choice for consuming.
It has a label on it saying its an energy drink so you can take it where ever you want. Just an idea.
Never had to go through WD's before but Roby has. They're quite handy for someone who is tapering. .4 ml shouldnt be all that much to be noticable if you need to take it at work. Perhaps maybe .3 just in case. Only an idea.
Hope work isnt too bad for ya. Keep up the good work.![]()
I forgot to add that I'm scottish and need to drink a shit load of alcohol for it to do anythingI think half a bottle of spirits is maybe a lil on the high side but a certain amount of alcohol has worked wonders for me withdrawing from everything I've ever withdrawn from. It's certainly not harm reduction at its finest... but it really does help some people. I'd take it steady though - you don't want a killer hangover on top of geebee withdrawals and too much booze whilst you're already feeling light-headed, nauseous and got the room spinning around you may not be too much fun either.
Well I describe it as physical addiction as I have no urge to take it to get high, only *have* to take it to sleep at night (waking up every 2-3 hrs if I dont) and I get anxiety attacks all day long. Basically my body keeps waking itself up every 4hrs, even now that I'm under the influence of diazepam. so it's just asking for its shot. I'm pretty sure though I can overcome this quite easily. I keep my benzo dosage low and shouldnt take more than 2-3 days till I'm back to normal. I booked an appointment with my GP, hopefully they'll get to prescribe me some pregabalin for the anxiety attacks.
I will try G once again, only by itself this time. I won't mix it with any uppers and see where that will go. But it won't be happening anytime soon, at least in a month's time from now.
You reckon it's gonna take me a couple weeks to recover from this? I know its just about the dopamine rebound thing that wont let me sleep, thats why I've been continuously repeating dosing the last few days. After research I've done here, it seems that its still early and I can work my way out.
It seems you've got the exact same thing as me. I've found that the drug becomes slightly more moreish once you've beat the addiction once or twice because you convince your self that it'll be easy to kick again.
I've got some blues coming tomorrow, haven't they helped you sleep at all? How much have you been taking?
Apart from Shambles who as we all know is not 100% human....I reckon he belongs in an x-file![]()
I get similar sleep related happenings.
I do half wonder if I may have some kinda ADHD style o' thing sometimes cos of the dopamine thing. Happens on peevee too - I'm not so inhuman I can sleep initially but once I'm fully saturated with dopamine I can sleep fine on it. With G there's a window of opportunity for sleep. If I take a KO dose (through carelessness - never do it deliberately) then I'll rebound and not be able to get back to sleep. But anything short of a KO dose and I sleep like a baby pretty much.
The dreams are getting truly bizarre now though. Indistinguishable from reality - almost more like descriptions of sleep paralysis, to be honest. Last night I was sort of conscious but couldn't move with my eyes just slightly cracked open and could "see" the blurred shape of someone I know stood over me with a knife, or screwdriver. In my head I was at a place I used to live at being observed and "pretending" to be asleep. As I came round I slowly realised that I didn't live there anymore and there was nobody there. And that even if there was this person would not be likely to get stabby with me. It was kinda freaky. Then there are the rats... If anything will make me take a break (other than running out and not ordering more instantly) it'll be these dreams cos they're straying into somewhat uncomfortable territory![]()
