Try cold turkey?

Can't kill you as much as the addiction, I guess..

Good luck and think positive.

Prayer helps!

Talking to ANYONE helps. Whether it be friend, therapist or your loving pet. Get things off your chest, analyze what you are feeling. Get in touch with your emotions during withdrawal.

You are on the right path trying to reach out to others. Talking helps!

You Can Quit
Posted: 10-09-07 07:54am

Hi, I was addicted to ephedrine for 14 years, and I quit 6 months ago. Depending on your body, the withdrawl symptoms can be pretty tough. For me, I felt like I was walking through mud...I couldn't concentrate, and I was sooo tired. I had to take a 2-week leave of absence from work, and I slept a lot. But I started feeling better after about a week, then I had to re-train my brain so I wouldn't start taking them again when I felt tired. Now I drink coffee instead.

You can do it!! If you have any questions or just need some support, let me know and I will give you my email address. Good luck, and remember...I was hopelessly hooked on ephedrine, and if I can quit, you can too! Smile

Hugs,
LaDonna
