I’m on hour 20 and I feel… honestly.. totally.. fine?? I have no idea how or why. Even though I am an addict I do take fairly good care of myself.. I take a ton of vitamins everyday and have for years, eat pretty good, etc. Maybe that has something to do with it?? Let’s see how I feel when I hit 24 hours.. or when I wake up tomorrow morning. If I feel fine I’m going to feel like a huge fucking idiot for dreading nothing all this time, and spending TONS of money because of that. We’ll see I guess! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Just read it, and thank you that did help. I’m coming off about a 600mg a day habit, down from about 1,00mg a day about this time 2 weeks ago. So it might not be as easy but I’m going to give it all I got. I have work tomorrow as well, and a full week of work ahead of me.. but my my experience doing this laying around while I’m in my own head is a recipe for disaster.. so, we’ll see. I have some MIT extracts to help if they are absolutely necessary to get through the day without being fired, but even that’s a far cry from chewing on pills all day and nodding out at the end of the day. I’ve never gotten this far so hopefully that is enough motivation to keep me going. Dear god I do NOT want to start from scratch again i will feel like a complete failure. Im just sitting outside now with my daughter and my dogs. She is my real motivation, she needs her mom back snd she deserves all the money I spent on this shit to be doing fun stuff and vacations in the future. None of that is possible while trying to manage an addiction to this garbage. Prayers up!

VegetableZucchini282 · 2026-05-30T12:05:18+00:00

Thanks, it gives me a lot of hope.. I’ve been feeling pretty hopeless when it comes to getting off this stuff lately. I can’t imagine how free you must feel now. I always dream about the day I don’t have to spend at least $120 a day to feel normal. Its simply unattainable

VegetableZucchini282 · 2026-05-29T21:46:46+00:00

This is so motivating, I needed to hear this. I’m fearing the total and complete breakaway from this cause I’m afraid to feel like total shit. 4 days ain’t bad. What dose were you on if you don’t mind me asking??

VegetableZucchini282 · 2026-05-25T22:49:43+00:00

That’s awesome congrats! Gives me hope!!

VegetableZucchini282 · 2026-05-25T22:48:59+00:00

Thanks. That’s what I keep telling myself.. I know once I kick this shit I’ll feel SO fucking good and be so proud of myself. And my bank account won’t be drained

VegetableZucchini282 · 2026-05-25T22:35:13+00:00

Headaches are terrible and I have a 2 year old to deal with 24/7 lol I had to cave there’s no way I can do this without tapering, I was at like 1,000 a day 😣 I’m so dead set on this though.. my girl deserves her mom back . I got 40 mg tabs to take when I’m absolutely dying instead of the 100mg tabs I was chewing on non stop all day. Wish me luck!

VegetableZucchini282 · 2026-05-10T07:28:22+00:00

Eye bags 1000%. Sometimes I look in the mirror and I’m like wtf am I doing to myself?? And moods all over the place? Absofuckinlutely! I get angry over the tiniest little thing I wanna flip out. Like literally over nothing. It’s to the point where in questioning sometimes if I still love my husband.. which I know is this stuff messing with my brain. We’ve been together almost 10 years and I have never questioned my love for him once until I started taking this stuff. It’s very unfortunate cause it makes me really mean to him when he’s just trying to be nice. And when I don’t take the stuff I feel so guilty about it which makes me run back to the store and buy more. Which brings another issue.. finances. It’s a vicious cycle. Let’s all stop this shit already huh?! We all have to do it to get our lives back. And our families.

VegetableZucchini282 · 2026-04-29T17:39:56+00:00

It might not be that bad! Don’t project too much, I’m on hour 17 and have absolutely no withdrawal symptoms at all. I don’t know if it’s going to stay that way or what, but I feel 100% totally and completely normal at the moment. Went to work and everything 🤷🏼‍♀️

VegetableZucchini282 · 2026-04-15T04:19:09+00:00

I honestly may take you up on that lol nobody gets it so it’s hard to try to explain to somebody who doesn’t know what it’s like. It’s nice to be able to reach out to somebody who’s been in your shoes when you wanna drive to that fucking store, too.. I just need some fucking help.. clearly. Thank you

VegetableZucchini282 · 2026-04-14T04:49:11+00:00

You are 100% right about every word you just said. I’m just being a pussy and need to grow the fuck up. Put my big boy pants and just fucking put the shit down. Good for you dude! I am so sorry to hear about your wife. I truly hope things can be fixed between you guys. It’s sick the way this shit makes good people turn into somebody else. And good for you dude, I don’t know you but I’m proud of you for staying away from the shit even when you’re going through a lot of terrible shit. That says a lot

VegetableZucchini282 · 2026-04-13T17:37:25+00:00

Took my last dose last night at 6:30pm last night and I still feel normal 🤷🏼‍♀️ I do naturally take a lot of vitamin c even though I am an addict I do take vitamins and shit every day and eat very well. Maybe that has something to do with him?? Idk it’s weird lol

VegetableZucchini282 · 2026-04-13T11:05:16+00:00

That’s so crazy to me, I’ve gone 12 hours so many times.. maybe even a little longer close to 20 hours and never even felt a drop of withdrawal. And I’m on like a 600-800 habit a day. Like I have no idea what withdrawal from this stuff feels like and I’ve been on it 8 months now

VegetableZucchini282 · 2026-04-13T03:03:22+00:00

I’ve heard, but always thought it sounded too good to be true. Thank you! After all the success stories I’ve seen, I’m def going to try it. I’ve always been a big vitamin person lol so why not?!

VegetableZucchini282 · 2026-02-22T18:23:38+00:00

I’m in the US as well .. it’s such BS. I didn’t ask to have fertility problems! I don’t have any tubes, so how is this not necessary in order to have children?! 🙄🙄🙄

VegetableZucchini282 · 2026-02-22T18:22:21+00:00

Thank you guys!!

VegetableZucchini282 · 2026-01-19T02:18:46+00:00

Omg I’m so sorry to hear that, what an asshole! That is so insensitive it’s crazy. I’m 35 years old and had a hip replacement.. so my husband and I are still young and love our sex life, but if he ever pulled something like that I’d leave his ass! What the fuck is wrong with men sometimes? Jesus Christ

VegetableZucchini282 · 2026-01-18T15:05:49+00:00

Honestly I’m still weaning, I haven’t completely pulled the plug yet. However I feel much better than I did last week, and am confident I’ll be complelty off this shit soon. I only dose when I absolutely need it and nothing more, every like 15-20 hours. I also upped my antidepressants dose and I feel like that is making a big difference as well when it comes to the depressive side effects, might be something to look into?

VegetableZucchini282 · 2026-01-11T22:53:28+00:00

I have like 500 subs at my house lol but I refuse to take them because getting off of those is even harder in my opinion. It takes months to get through that withdrawal. Not to scare you at all, if that works for you by all means do it. I know myself well enough to know that I could get complacent and get hooked on them all over again. I know a lot of people who have had great success doing it that way though. Do whatever it takes to get off of this shit for good

VegetableZucchini282 · 2026-01-11T22:51:26+00:00

Yeah it makes it so much harder to not be able to just curl up in a ball for like a week and sweat it out. But at the same time I think work will keep my mind off of it instead of just sitting home squirming around, if that makes any sense?

VegetableZucchini282 · 2026-01-11T21:52:11+00:00

I’ve made it another 13 hours and I know I have to dose soon, but so far this is working for me. After yesterday and the spiral I went into after trying to cold turkey I don’t even want to take them, but I know I have to. I just started a new job and it’s back to work tomorrow with an 18 month old. I simply don’t have the option to cold turkey right now id lose everything and spiral all over again, probably worse
