5 Months Today Since Cold Turkey WD

Posted , 10 users are following.

I will make this short. It has been 5 months since my last Mirt pill. I didn't sleep last night, and had abdominal cramps and pain all day yesterday, and today is starting out bad. For those who have followed my journey, I have been to the Emergency Room 3 times, and had 2 abdominal CT scans, one with contrast, the other without. Both results were negative (normal). I have been through every symptom in the book, and the whole thing, so far, has been hell. I had a couple of decent days, and thought that I had started to improve, but the last couple of days and last night is almost like hitting the re-set button. If you have had similar circumstances, please reply. God bless all who come to this site suffering, as they have limited resources for help. David

    Do you think matazapine could have caused you to develop ibs just a suggestion and have you tried buscopan you buy it at the chemist in UK. I have ibd and swear it's amazing for stomach cramps worth a try. Sorry to hear your still suffering xx

      Lauren, unfortunately, buscopan is not available in the USA. We do have other medications that have the same function, but I take heart rhythm medication, and that type of drug can't be taken with the heart medicine. Thanks for the suggestion. David

    David my withdrawal symptoms lasted 5 months, from June to November 2012. The good spells gradually lasted longer. The posts on this forum helped me so much. God bless
