Please everybody keep in mind your M.D. might be helping you with the Subs but in reallity its just another nightmare,today is day 7 without Subs believe me if you know how to taper this medication you willbe fine.My Doctor told me that most of his patient should be on Subs for 3 years or more,my friends its totally B.S. Doctors make alot of money by giving you Subs. But anyway dicipline yourself and taper what ever dose they are giving you buy alot of vitamins and amino acid,Ensure have some benzos for anxiety and most of all pray and pray at this moment i don"t feel 100% but with time life will get better.i from south florida and everybody knows what went down here with the pain clinics and in reallity i am glad it did happen. Plus one more thing if can at least take off from work or school for at least 10 days it makes life much easier, i was on 16mg a day for 18 months and my Doctor will tell me its not the right time to taper this med F.Y good luck everybody.
