That might be a good idea, Wanda. When I stopped, my pharmacist gave me two pills to get through the weekend, just in case I got in trouble when after three days he saw that I looked like a decomposing heroin addict. I didn't want to take them, though, because I figured it would all be over within a week or so and I thought it was all nearly over and didn't want to have to go through the pain all over again. Besides I knew I had an appointment with my doctor by the sixth day of withdrawal and that he would surely make it all better...boy was I wrong.
About the dreams, I think that if you can sleep through the beginning stages of withdrawal, you are very lucky. Funny, besides the brain zaps and things like the room moving in stages when I turned my head and the insanity brought about by the severe physical pain, I didn't have any other purely mental experiences. I couldn't sleep because I was dizzy, had headaches, was shaking all night long, was throwing up and couldn't leave the bathroom; so there were no bad dreams, good dreams, or any dreams that were left in my memory banks by the time I caught a few winks
:-)....glad it's over....
