Avatar m tn Do NOT go cold turkey. Talk to the Dr./Clinic that is prescribing them. Going cold turkey off of Meth is a no-no.
7827044 tn?1399391443 Yeah, don't cold turkey stuff like that. Yikes! If you ever decide to come off, slow and steady wins the race.
7827044 tn?1399391443 I was having extreme anxiety and very bad withdrawals from quitting gabapentin cold turkey. I resumed taking gabapentin yesterday and now today find myself very depressed. I quit it cold turkey because I felt it was causing me depression and mood instability. It is messing with my moods terribly now resuming it. I am very down and feel so disconnected from myself. Do not want to live like this. I know I will never quit it cold turkey again but feel this is not the medicine for me still.
Avatar m tn What is it your trying to wean from? How much are you taking? How long have you been dependant? Everyone is different when it comes to taper plans and goals, we aren't allowed to give taper plans but the general rule is slow and steady wins the race, if you can't manage a taper get as low as possible and jump cold turkey! There is never a good time to detox, you just have to get on with it.
Avatar f tn Is it ok to lift heavy weights and do strenuous activities? Btw i tried quitting cold turkey but i had seizure at work i was stocker in the frozen section at a grocery store maybe thats why i had a seizure idk.
Avatar f tn I was on that once to help with what the stupid fentanyl was doing to me. I was so run down I couldn't do anything. So my doctor wrote me a script for it I took it for 2 months and then just stopped taking it. I felt a little more tired than normal for a few days but other than that I was fine. I was only taking like 20mg I believe. Im not sire how much you were taking? I just didn't like the way it made my heart race.
Avatar m tn is there a safe way of tapering off, or is it better to go cold turkey and just deal with the side affects? Everything I have looked up online has me so confused. I don't know where to turn. I've lost my job because of this, but I hate being sober. But I HATE this feeling even more...
Avatar m tn She has been taking Xanax for years. Her neurologist has told us to stop all narcotics-cold turkey. Is this right? She is going through hell right now. It's been 2 weeks. How long do the withdrawls last?
Avatar f tn Things come to a head a few weeks ago when he started coughing up blood an our little boy asked why he was so sick in the morning when he got up an why he had to go out all the time. He is now gone cold turkey as i type this i can hear him thrashing about as this time the withdrawl is a hell of alot worse i suppose it would be going from 6 bags a day to nothing. HOW DO I HELP HIM WITH HIS WITHDRAWELS THIS TIME????? WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT??????? WHAT CAN I DO???????????
Avatar f tn Just want you all to know that I decided to quit cold turkey. I will be starting tomorrow. I am ready to be free once and for all. I'm so tired. Asking for your prayers. Kinda scared for some reason. Thanks.
Avatar n tn About 12 a day and he stopped cold turkey on Sunday afternoon. What side effects can I expect? Any suggestions on how to help him get through this would be very helpful. Foods to eat or avoid? Tea or herbs? Anything to help him get off naturally. He is also a sugar and caffiene addict. Lots of candy, rockstar and coffee. I did give him a zanax to take with him to work yesterday but he didn't take it until he got home and fell asleep at 7:00 and slept 12 hours.

Avatar m tn I'm on 1500mg Depakote, 160mg Geodon & 4mg Lorazapam a day! I've been on dozens of medications over the years for my Bi-Polar Disorder & nothing seems to help! What if I stopped, cold turkey, taking any medication for my illness? Would I feel better after going through withdrawals? Has anyone else gotten off their medication cold turkey?

Avatar f tn hello and welcome. no you cant go cold turkey from tramadol. it is dangerous. there is a risk of seizures. it has to be tapered. how long have you been on it and at what dose? you need to ask your doctor for a taper plan. that is the only safe way.
