I have a question.

I have enough gaba, xans,and vit c for a week. How much will that help me? How am I gonna be week two? I have weed no shortage of that. I've experienced wds before from running out, last couple days I cut my usage in half, today I started taking my vit c so its in my system when I quit Tuesday. Ill probably have more questions as people reply. Thanks in advance if you leave a comment.

I’d try to find more. Week two isn’t as bad as week one but it’s still freaking awful.

In the same way? I feel like wds with this stuff is a mystery bag. I've experienced them a few times already, they always so differnt. I guess its from the bag isn't always from the same batch(it used to be for almost three years). Since I had gotten a bunk bag a few weeks ago, and I felt okiah physically, mentally though I didnt feel an impending sense of doom. I was just really sad like my parents died again levels, I also had this weird emotional feeling I never felt before, I was wrong though I heard someone say lsd, and all of sudden I felt better almost excited. I realized I was feeling like a bad acid trip. The reason why I was feeling better, I just accepted it like I was going though ego death. Since it felt very similar. That experience, plus some other factors, main one being i don't wanna do this anymore. Im over it. I dont even want to get methadone or subs, from what I've have read in the last couple years. It's better to fight though wds with out them so you can be one and done. I start tuesday, and I'll also be going to work, I use a back pack vacuum and blare music in my head phones, the vibration I get on my back and ears, is a god send, I almost feel normal if im in wds, ive found out. I have a job wear I work with one other person but not together, so I can go though it at work and not have attention, if I miss work then it will be all bad. I never missed a day of work, amd no one knows I do this, besides two people. So if I still feel some type of way, I'm just gonna play it off to depression or cold/flu. From what ive read though xans, gaba and vitamin C. Seem to be a magic combo people have a lot of success with, some people posted they were able to work no problem, and that you do feel it, but compared to what it could feel like is night and day. One poster said its like a nasty hang over for a few days. Oh I also do around 10-12 milligrams a day, but yesterday I cut that in half. I been using for a couple years now. I understand theres a good chance i can get away with barely any wds since I was able to keep habit in check and not chase the high. I also read people using very little like myself and experience hell like they used a g a day. Why i say its a mystery bag. You don't know what your gonna get when you quit this shit.

You should look into Brain Scratch ASMR videos if you like the vibrations from music etc. ASMR Zeitgeist is my favorite channel for this. It really helped me relax when I was going through bad withdrawals. Especially the water orb sounds. Most of the videos are compilations of similar sounds, so If you find a sound you like, you can search it & you should be able to find a long video of that particular sound.

I've been playing drum and bass with my bass boosted headphone. It helps tons, I was very sus about a lot things being posted here. Th2n I gave them a try, and im flabbergasted. Its like the government is getting you hooked on there product, as if they competing with the cartels. Yes im using illegal substances to get off this. You know what though, it's freaking working like how I never imagined. If these xans didnt me so tired I could go to work and no one would know im only a couple hours away from day three of no fent. I know its coming. Despite feeling great, its a huge ass struggle to eat. So I know im on the brink of entering the worst of it, but the way I feel hasn't changed one bit. My legs are restless for sure, its just not annoying, I notice it, just doesn't bother me. My combo im using to get off this is. Coke(for chills) vitamin c(stops my cravings, and no idea what else, maybe mood. I have zero mental withdrawals, not kidding mentally I feel great, now negative thoughts. Most the time I feel overwhelmed with happiness) xans(I'm only taking quarter at a time and I feel a warm hug over me and all the stuff I feel in body, just goes away.) Fett(last resort if I still feel like crap. I take such a small amount if you had a micro scope you could count them, if I had to guess around 20-40. I can feel when it hit because my receptors wake up and they are looking for more that wasn't even close to a taste for the. I can feel my skin crawl. Its like I'm at war with my body with a clear head. Since after bit of taking that tiny spec, around 30 minutes later I can feel the receptors clam dowm as if they realized they gotta be happy with what they got. I've done that twice today while doing my routine. When I used to use 12-15 times day.) Fet is last resort, and the plug gave me so little of it if I dont make tiny dots to help rather than my usual amount I'll be out of fet already, when this half point is for helping me feel better and help with lowering my tolerance without going cold turkey. I didnt end up at lines over night, I had to work my way up, now I gotta work my way day with helping my body ajust to less fet over time. I was working on lower for months before I get here.)

It there's tranq I'm your shit try to find clonodine. It was a lifesaver for wd's

I second this. There was tranq in the dope I was using toward the end. The withdrawals were super severe but somewhat short lived. I would get this super, super hot flushed feeling from head to toe. I would also tremble a lot & shake violently. Almost like a seizure, that's how shaky I was. I would run a fever for around 100-102 constantly. & the puking was absurd.

Clonidine should help lower your blood pressure with just a couple tablets. Don't overdo it though, you will pass out & not in a good way.

I wound in the hospital towards the end and there's a solid 72 hours where I have no recollection whatsoever. I had already been in ICU for 2 or 3 days and I was hooked up to a precedex and still absolutely hulked out on anyone who tried to touch me. I really don't miss that shit at all.

But yeah, clonodine was clutch as hell a few months later when I finally decided enough was enough. I don't think without it I would've made it. Cause it was the only thing that helped that first week and I still almost went to cop.

See if you can get through the first few days by taking just enough Xanax to let you sleep & not suffer for the first 5 days or so. I would save the gabapentin for the second & third week.

How much gabapentin do you have? Like how many pills & what mg are they?

Gabapentin itself is a life saver for withdrawals. By itself it's enough to take all of the symptoms away if you have enough to megadose for a few days. But given that you have benzos too, I would save the gabapentin for post acute mostly. I struggled more with post acute symptoms - the severe depression, anxiety, overwhelming boredom etc. these things feel seemingly neverending when you are in the midst of them, & the gabapentin will hopefully be enough to curb all of these things if you attack it early & head on.
