Just in case anyone else has severe stomach problems like I have had.
Despite being fat already, my stomach bloated to at least triple normal size.
It looked hideous as it wasn’t symmetrical I literally had melon sized bits sticking out at the sides. Obviously friends and family were worried it might be acetes (I am a fair old drinker too.)
I walked 12k six weeks ago but this week can barely walk 20 yards.
Anyway, just now I had my first vaguely normal shit. Not massive, just a snake coming from the proper inside.
I identified the contents from two weeks ago.
Feeling slightly better and now the bloating is improving.
What a hideous drug.

Awful little pills I had no idea how dangerous they were.
Yes this page is a godsend. I would definitely have cracked during the horrible mental effects earlier in the week.
My bloating looks gruesome but doesn’t hurt. My wife wants me to go to hospital for a scan but I just want to wait it out a bit longer.

Managed my first couple hours sleep this afternoon which has really helped with the psychological issues.
My stomach is SO bloated though now.
Can anyone recommend anything to help with this?
Or do I just need to be patient?

I’m almost there with sleep last night was a bit easier (I could stay in bedroom at least though I’m waking up 30 times.)
Yes I have a lovely wife who knows all about it and is being as supportive as she can.
Thanks

You are not alone.Day 5 for me.
Please share your tales of woe and strife.

I’m a total idiot.
I just started having 4 30mg once a day with my last glass of wine to sleep better when a friend gave me a box.
Can anyone let me know if they think I’ll have the full lovely four week experience? Or will it be shorter as it hasn’t been years?
Been on them about 4 months. I didn’t even enjoy the stuff much.
The withdrawal is really fucking nasty even for a newby taking very little like me.
Gave up 4 days ago and haven’t slept a wink. If I start to fall asleep a massive wave of fear slides over me and I have a panic attack and gasp for air for ten seconds. I timed on my phone and this is happening every two minutes through the night.
I’m now sitting in my car (upright gives me less panic attacks) between 12am and daylight to ignore the nighttime.
Best of luck to everyone. What a dark dark thing.
Cocaine is a synch to get off by comparison.
