Yes i am doing it cold turkey. The hardest thing i have ever went through in my life, by far.. Day 8 and can't believe it still. For the first week i had severe stomach pain, the runs very bad, fever, chills, just flu like symptoms... also insomnia, and still having trouble sleeping, did get a few hrs. last night for the first time in 8 days. But after all that the physical pains are pretty much gone, i do still feel very exhausted, i go outside for 5 min. or so and dont even have to do nothing but feel like i was hit by a truck, get worn out very easily. It will pass though. I keep telling my self i made it 8 days and i DO NOT want to go through those withdrawals ever ever ever again. I am depressed and find myself thinking about the percs 24 hrs. a day, but then i tell myself NO it is not worth it. Come so far to turn back now. I can't wait until the day i feel normal again, i feel like a 5 yr. old trapped in a 35 yr. old body, gotta learn to live life all over aagin in a totally different way, it can be done. From reading on this site and seeing what lies ahead for me is very helpful, it lets me know what i have ahead of me so i can be prepared. I wish you all the best when you start. It is possible, Trust me... I never went a day without them in over 4 years. So 8 days for me is so UNREAL.... But i am proud to have made it this far. My husband is the only one who knows in my family, so talking to him and crying to him and letting it all out helps me soooooo much. The rest of my family just thinks i have a bad flu, its hard hiding it, but someday i will let them all know what i had to go through and i am sure they will be proud of me... Well sorry for talking to much, just feels good sometimes to let others know what to expect and give support. Talk to ya soon.
HUGZZZZ....Hopeless
