So, I had a huge pain pill problem for a little over 5 years. About 8 months ago, I decided to throw in the towel and get help with my addiction by taking Bupe. I was on 20mg a day. I wanted to come off, but just couldn't seem to get there. I need to also add that I take 4mg of Klonopin daily as well.
So here's the story...my Klonopin ran out 8 days before I could get it filled. So, as you can imagine, I was in Benzo withdrawal hell! I couldn't do anything...especially take myself to the clinic to take my Bupe everyday. Magically I went 8 days without taking anything. Finally got my script for my benzo and I feel much better except I do feel myself in the grip of Bupe withdrawal. But it's been 8 days!! I do t want to go back on. So I'm riding it out. The worst thing right now are the chills and the super stuffed up nose. I've done a lot of research on OTC meds to help get you through and came across the Imodium thing. And I have to say it works. I felt like I had a fever all day. It's 93 degrees here and I was wearing a long sleeve shirt and a coat all day. Anyway, bought some Imodium and took 20mg and its like most of my WD symptoms are practically gone!! Is this true??? Does this happen??
You guys have any others suggestions to help me get through the Bupe WD?? I figure I only have a few more days left, right???? Fingers crossed anyway.
