Hi Holly and Jim,
Holly, indeed that is what all of us are here for, and thank God for this forum!
What were you on Opiates for? I am not sure about the withdrawl from these, but I suspect that panic could be a withdrawl symptom, that or you are too nervous getting off the medication, maybe there is another side effect you are dreading perhaps? If you can check with your doctor and if not check with the pharmacy you got the drugs from. I've found if you talk to them nicely they may answer your questions, as they know more about the drugs than the doctors do, but are not doctors so are not able to answer some questions, but you can try, just be nice.
Jimbo, good to hear from you! lol! Glad you weren't trying to pick me up or something, you would have gotten a surprise boy! ha ha.
I now have a Holitor monitor I am going to wear at night for about 3-4 nights, this is going back to that study I mentioned a few weeks ago. We;ll see waht they can get out of it. I was wrong it is not a sleep monitor like I was hoping for, it is only a heart monitor, but they know based on the heart rythms when you are in rem sleep or awake, etc. We'll see what happens. I've been very shakey lately and unable to sleep. and of course now that I have the monitor I slept early and actually slept through the night without getting up for hours on end. I woke up sevearl times, but thats ok.
Glad you are doing well. Glad you can reunite with your friends that will really help you, and especially those who have had problems before. Glad you are feeling happier! That is a good sign.
Cheers
