Have you stopped drinking as well?

Thanks everyone.
When I've tried kicking it cold turkey I've had terrible withdrawal symptoms. I didn't think they'd be this severe but they completely floor me and I can't really function. Once the third day hits I use to get rid of the pain. I'm not going to mind some withdrawal symptoms so I'm going to make sure I stock up on vitamins, muscle rub, immodium and some other bits and bobs. They worked quite well when I was doing my cold turkey so I'm hoping they will help when I'm finishing the taper.
I've not had a drink since November. I can take or leave drink but stopping the pills is another matter. I said to the doctor that although I'm psychologically prepared to stop the physical withdrawal is making it a lot harder.
