Real World Withdrawal Story - "It's pure hell. The hot and cold sweats, leg cramps, some abdominal problems, diarrhea and / or vomiting. You need not only to be de-toxed, but also treated. If you are really at your end, you will do whatever it takes to get your life back. I did. I love life today. Good Luck. The withdrawals are a long 2 to 3 weeks of no sleep. I know, I've been there. That's why it's impossible to do it out-patient or at home. You have issues to deal with, and need reinforcement."
