Wow, this is seems very similar to me, I am 29 and have been taking Zapains for around 5 years. I was taking 35 a day / getting 120 prescribed every 3/4 days without a blink of an eye from the doctors.
How are you getting on now Dan? I hope it’s good news mate?
I am currently 8 days cold Turkey, and still fighting, nobody knows what I have been going through, done all the withdrawals myself, going to work, looking after my 3 month old daughter etc. I am still getting urges to get some, or even nipping the chemist to get some Solpadine, the main thing that is keeping me going is not wanting to go through the physical withdrawal process again but after the withdrawal process you won’t want to take them
Mate, if you can fight the first 8 days you can pull through. Honestly, when i was on them I was so emotionless and emotionally dethatched, to everyone and everything, I just didn’t care. Eating crap, smoking and not being bothered about my health….
What I have done is – got back in the gym, Valerian root extract for the mild anxiety and help sleep, black coffee to get me through work and tried to think positive and smile mate.
if you need any advice let me know, I hope you have pulled through the other side fella.
