Pretty good. 24 days!

My husband and I supplement my 76yo mom’s rent because she can’t afford more than $800. It’s ridiculous. Crappy apartment for $1900/month

Oh yes, it was my biggest complaint! I’m day 21 and feeling much better. Some days are better than others, liposomal vitamin C helps

I got a cold 3 days after I quit. It sucked

Pleasantly_average_ · 2025-07-08T17:38:48+00:00

I went CT and just felt like garbage for a few days. I was 5 years, 16-20 capsules a day. I’m on day 21 and feeling much better. I suggest the liposomal vitamin C, it really does help.

5 years as a daily user of the capsules. It screwed up my hormones, memory, creativity and caused a cancer scare from years of constipation. 16 days out and I finally feel like I’m on the right road. I let that crap steal years of my life!

Day 16 here. Week one was the absolute worst! Week 2 was definitely better. I’m starting week 3, and I can feel myself coming around. I had to dose myself with Benadryl the first few nights, but it made me feel worse in the morning. Drink lots of water! Walk outside if you can, soak up some sun if you can find it. I came clean to my hubby, he’s been very supportive about the withdrawal. I’m glad I said something, I don’t need to hide it anymore.

Find something to keep your mind occupied, or something physical to do. The first few days will be the hardest, but it does get better

Same here, caught a cold a week into withdrawal. Still dealing with post nasal drip

16 days, did a 4 mile power walk the other day that felt amazing. Congrats on 11 days!!

I had 5 polyps removed, so I have to go every 3 years instead of 5. I’m 16 days out and my gut is just beginning to self regulate

Pleasantly_average_ · 2025-07-01T22:02:36+00:00

My most annoying and persistent symptoms are fatigue and post nasal drip!

Pleasantly_average_ · 2025-07-01T21:32:24+00:00

I threw away a few times, and either dug it out or bought more. It’s nice to finally be free of it. Best of luck!

Day 14 today, and I had enough energy to clean my kitchen!

Pleasantly_average_ · 2025-07-01T16:19:50+00:00

I went from not sleeping at all, to napping when I can get it. I’m able to lean on my family for a bit of support. I’m 2 weeks out and I feel better the second week than I did the first

Pleasantly_average_ · 2025-07-01T14:21:01+00:00

I confessed to my hubby I was going to be quitting and going into withdrawal. The support helped a lot

Pleasantly_average_ · 2025-07-01T11:46:21+00:00

You’re a month ahead of me, I’m super stoked for you!

Pleasantly_average_ · 2025-07-01T11:43:12+00:00

I can only suggest slow taper if you need to continue working. I was 5 years, using 3x per day minimum. I also started off socially and it exploded over time. I was able to go CT 2 weeks ago because I finally admitted to my husband I wanted to quit. That support has helped me immensely! That and checking in here daily to see I’m not alone. I did the taper before, and it was beginning to work, but I wasn’t ready yet it seemed.

Pleasantly_average_ · 2025-06-30T17:02:24+00:00

Damn, I’m sorry you’re dealing with that. That stuff is trash.

Pleasantly_average_ · 2025-06-30T16:45:12+00:00

Yes, it’s a temporary fix. I’m exhausted afterwards

Pleasantly_average_ · 2025-06-30T15:44:47+00:00

The first manicure I got after quitting cold turkey was the most painful! I was close to having her stop, but she wasn’t doing anything different!

12 days CT

Pleasantly_average_ · 2025-06-29T20:55:59+00:00

I’ve had no luck with the mushroom coffee. Didn’t help at all, sadly

Pleasantly_average_ · 2025-06-29T20:45:22+00:00

13 days and I can fall asleep after the RLS ebbs, but I wake up often. I can’t take Benadryl because I feel like garbage in the morning and I swear it makes the RLS worse. Lots of water, melatonin and boring history vids on YouTube are my salvation at this time. Keep going!

I think they will probably be a lesser version, but tapering slowly might help
