Day 3

Question

Okay so I am on day 3 and have not had a wink of sleep. My legs and my feet are really achy and hurting. I went off of all my meds so it's really bad now. I have RLS to begin with. I tried to go back to sleep earlier but couldn't. Then I decided to f it and got up took a shower, got dressed, put on tennis shoes, ouch! Started to do housework, laundry etc. When all hell broke loose. I started to feel again, and I don't like it. I looked in the mirror and did not even regognize myself. I had three surgeries last year and my ex broke up with me because I just wasn't getting any better. Well that was in October, why the heck can't I stop thinking about it. It's ridiculous! Anyways the crying spell is over, but I know if I had some pills I would have taken a whole mouth full. Does anyone know when we start to get over all these emotions coming back?

Also is it okay to take Motrin 800mg every 3 hours?

An adult person is allowed as much s 3200 mg of Ibrophen in a given day.....if you think that is too high...Consult your doctor...

FLaddict · Answer

you can't take that dose more than 3-4 times a day.. so I would try even 4-6 hours if you can.. it says 3200mgs is the maximum dosage for a day..

The Motrin definately helps but space it out every 6 hrs max!   You are at the toughest point of w/d so hang in....you will start to feel better soon....my emotions were all over the place at this point of w/d so I do know things seem a lot worse but your emotions too will get better....you have to give your body and mind time to heal!  We are all here if you need to vent....I did a hell of a lot of venting and it does help some!  

Ride this out.....it is  worth it to get your life back!
