The most important thing to remember before putting yourself through this is that detox is only the first step to fightin addiction. After withdrawal you should seek treatment from a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC) or other qualified person/facility. Good luck and Best Wishes!
6 years is a long time. It will take about a week for the physical withdrawals to go away but the mental will last for months.
You should try to see somebody for help. You need to get help so you can help your daughter.

s reaction to the drug, the ensuing dependence and withdrawal symptoms if the drug is stopped. Physical dependence is a very real problem and many patients with legal prescriptions for real problems find themselves dependent on the drug. When physically dependent individuals try to quit, varying degrees of withdrawal symptoms ensue, the severity of which depends on the amount of the drug being taken.
Most of the individuals described in these reports had a history of poly-substance abuse or used gabapentin to relieve symptoms of withdrawal from other substances. When prescribing gabapentin carefully evaluate patients for a history of drug abuse and observe them for signs and symptoms of gabapentin misuse or abuse (e.g. development of tolerance, self-dose escalation, and drug-seeking behavior).
People who are addicted to these drugs need to know that if they want to break the addiction, they should NOT stop cold turkey. Withdrawal symptoms can be horrible and include flu-like symptoms, severe muscle cramps, severe headaches, severe irritability, sleeplessness and in really bad cases, seizures. If you want to quit these drugs, you MUST taper off. I know this because a family member was addicted.
i had tired to withdraw from it but some how i was not able to win over withdrawal symptoms like bad ache in my feet, frustration, not able to concentrate and etc..... Now its too much now i cannot cheat my parents any more, when i think that how was i in past, its totally different me now. And somehow i dont want to live with this addiction any more, it would be better to die rather to live with that addiction.
Although acute withdrawal can be completed in a week without the drug, long term withdrawal symptoms will persist. Medical treatment can help with depression and coping skills. The risk for addicts is that they will think one round of withdrawal and suffering has somehow made them less likely to slide back into full blown addiction. This is not the case.
"...but I didn't think this drug was addictive..?? or am I wrong?? Might I be dealing with addiction??"
People can be addicted to food, drugs...the internet. Ephedrine addiction is very real and don't think you cant go to N.A. because they only deal with "hard drugs" and you wouldn't fit in. To the contrary...Ive been to meetings with pot smokers....glue huffers...N.A. doesn't discriminate.
"As with any drug, there are withdrawal symptoms the addict experiences upon cessation of cough syrup use. Cough syrup, or DXM, affects the body in many ways. Becoming addicted to the medication results in a loss of control by the individual addicted to the medication. Things that once used to interest the addict become erroneous. Interest in sports, academics, and extracurricular activities fades.
I am finding that I am experiencing more like withdrawal symptoms than anxiety(tho it does creep in).Mornings and mid-afternoons are the hardest.Altogether I have been on this drug for just over a month.I was an alcoholic,and have been sober for 16 years,and am desperate to not develop another addiction,tho I feel it may be too late for that!
Hi, welcome to the forum. Getting here and looking for answers is the first step. The withdrawal is uncomfortable at the least, but it's a 14 day span at the most for the physical symptoms. How much and how long and what drug have you been using. There is always someone here who can offer more specific advice.
one thing, though, is that migraine management becomes much easier after withdrawal symptoms have passed. i get far more migraines when i'm taking this drug than when i'm not.
this drug DOES work great when it isn't abused....but when it is, it makes a terrible time of managing migraines.
Two years is long enough to develop a pretty serious addiction, but the amount/dose is also important. So... 5 - 10 days to get over the initial withdrawal. Then a few to several weeks of general lethergy (as in NO energy). After 2 -3 months you'll feel pretty normal but you'll most likely have ups and downs. Reading the info on Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome (PAWS) will explain what that's about. PAWS normally lasts 6 - 12 months but can last up to 2 years.
