Hey, sick--looks like we're on the same schedule. I'm on day 4, too. I had to take trazodone to sleep the last couple of nights. I feel myself getting a little better, but this morning I just wanted to stay in bed with the covers wrapped tight. Couldn't get back to sleep, but just couldn't get up. I finally got out of the house though, and things seem to be better. Thanks for your support. I think I'm going to try the l-tyrosine.

Hi,

Just wanted to say you're so right. The first time I had to really push myself to go for a walk. After that I could see I felt better so I made the next walk a little longer. Now I drive down to the "River Walk" and take food along for the ducks. Last Tuesday I had 12 ducks and a few geese following me around and I ran out of food for them. I love the ducks but geese can get a little pushy and they hiss. Tomorrow I'm going back but you can bet I won't run out this time. lol

Hugs.....LS

Looks like we are all on day 4.  Things are going pretty good for me.  I feel about the same as usual.  I don't have all of the energy that sickofit has but it's the weekend so I like to take some breaks on the weekend anyway.

Did you all taper or c/t?  If you tapered what dose did you get to when you stopped and what were you taking?

I tapered and it seems to have worked for me.  Pretty much just one day of listlessness and lack of motivation.

I don't know how you fake it, sickofit.  I think it is great you are doing it for your kids but I couldn't be a super anything even if I wasn't withdrawing.  Which, I don't know if I am even withdrawing anymore.  Does anyone know if I could be possibly over the w/d's since I tapered and was on a low dose and didn't abuse the meds I took for legitimate pain.  I just wish my pain was gone.  But at least it is better.  

Keep on going, you all can do it!

I thought the same thing you did!  She has got some major mind over matter going on.  I think she is doing more on her worst days than I do on my best! :)

Sickofallofit, are you a person who just has a natural high energy level??  just curious.  Your posts almost make me feel a little sleepy you are working so hard. :)  I am happy for you and your family that you have the ability to forge ahead like you do!  They are blessed.
