Day 1

I went to my parents house for support. I decided to go to the ER and I'm so glad I did. I'm groggy off Ativan but my BP is regulated. I think I will be in bed again all day but at least I will sleep and not be in the agony I was in yesterday. I had burning veins. My face was on fire on my HP. Calling Cadas to get started. Can't wait to get this life started!!!!

All the best and good luck Sunshine!

CADAS in my experience are likely to suggest tapering. I would strongly suggest reading a few posts here before deciding if that or some other route would suit you best.

CADAS will be used for counseling. They have free programs. I'm windering if I'm okay to move around some in this period or if I need to stay in bed.

I don't want to derail the thread, but I had some intense burning sensations on my face on occasion. It would get super hot, to the point it scared me. Anyone know why?

Sunshine, I am glad you went to the doctor, and are now resting at your parents. I noticed you joined in 2013, but do not have many posts. I have found reading and posting here daily to be really helpful.

Glad you are back!

I joined in 2013 bc of my ex. I didn't really drink back then. I'll tell my story someday.

Day 3 and still sober. I'm having some anxiety issues but that I can handle for the most part. Lots of hot/cold feelings. A little uncomfortable but not too bad. I am having a hard time being at my parents house. My mom triggers my anxiety. She's super controlling and plays the victim all the time. She can't help it though. Tough situation to be in. Maybe it's time to head home. I think I'm over the hump.
