i was first prescribed 50 mgs, after a year i was put on 60 mgs. when i first started taking them, they helped and i had noo problems with them. but after about 6 months, i started staying up for days and i would take one everytime i got tired. i got pregnant about a year ago and i quit taking them, cause i didnt want harm to my baby. after a few weeks i felt better. my body didnt ache and i ALMOST felt normal but to be honest, i never had energy. i couldnt wait to have my baby, just soo i could start taking them again, even though in the back of my head i knew i shouldnt start them again but i did. after my daughter was born, i started them and the addiction has only gotten worse. i dont stay up for days at a time but im taking atleast 2 a day. i get soo crabby and mean when im coming down at the end of the day and i dont want to be bothered at all when im doing something. i feel horrrible in the morning, until i take another one.. my personality has completely changed. my boyfriend and i fight constantly because i get soo aggrivated with him over nothing.
i want soo badly to quit but i have a 3 month old daughter who i have to take care of. i dont have a few weeks to just lay in bed and withdrawal.
i just dont know what to do. ive been down this road a few times in the last 3 years. ive quit taking them a few times and no matter what i doo im going to feel horrible with out them until i completely withdrawal from them...
i just need to know how do i quit them with out feeling soo weak and sick.
