Oh Avalon! I am so sorry! However, you are not alone in the way you are feeling. That is EXACTLY how I felt at the same time of withdrawal. My heart hurts for you. It will get better. I've been off for 18 days now and what you are describing went away after about a week, and other things started bothering me.
My doc said that after 2 weeks I'd start feeling better. I did but on day 15 I felt like crap, felt good on day 16 and like crap on day 17. We'll see today. She said it can take 4-6 weeks to feel like one's self. But I think your worst will be over soon. The sweating, feeling nauseated, weak, etc. passes. I drank a ton of water, worked on the building our house with my husband, and kept a spray bottle at hand for those horrible sweats. I ate tons of watermelon, oranges, bananas, cucumber, and all of the watery fruits. Small doses (1/4mg) of Klonopin helped with many of the symptoms. Please keep us posted!
I'm, as I'm sure we all are, with you.
Be well,
Kesta
