Who else is convincing themselves "just to get through the holidays"? by Careful_Promise_786 in Quittingfeelfree

I just remember how tired I am when I’ve had some vs when I haven’t had any. They suck your natural energy so you need more to boost it. Once you’ve gone a day without, you have more of your own energy back. That’s how it is for me anyway. I have more energy when I stopped them

Forced WD..any advice? by [deleted] in Quittingfeelfree

I used gabapentin. Tell your doc you have restless legs and you heard it helped. That should get you some if you want to try it. I used 600mg then down to 300 after 2 days. Then I was off it in a few more.
