Help this sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!111

ok 1st day off methadone actually been 38 hours, i am feeling really bad -crawling out of my skin that is the worst so far except runny nose runny eyes and a severe headache-i started to get cramps in the backs of my calfs , but i took 2 ativcans and a valium feeling a little better,especially the cramps and somewhat the headache. i know tommarrow is going to be worse but today sucked, i may be too big of a baby to deal with this,i might not make it if it gets as bad as everyone says-can't do that.i hear they are worse then kicking heroin and i couldn't do that without going and getting a fix within 48-72 hours never made it past 72 hours, although my husband was always with me before sick at the same time and would judt leave and bring us home a fix, i kinda miss him now only because he is someone who at least knows me,understands what i am going through and can give me constant gopod advice-i know i told my famiily to not let me know if he writes but now i want to know and they are saying they threw his letters away, that really pis::: me rite off, i am a 33 yr old woman and he is my husband for 6 years i blame me for my faults not him.
thank to whoever read this, i am beginbning to think noone does really read these unless you are known on here and all the posts i read are so werid compared to when i came here a while ago 2 weeks ago, anyways i am sure noone is gonna read this even tho i really need a little encourage,ment
peace out,
Jenn

Hey J.  Just remember that you will go up and down... there will be some lows where you just get the 'screw-it's"  be prepared for the roller coaster ride OK?

The normal stuff will come to you to after a little hell.... be looking for it, (the normal stuff)  Keep your head up and don't stay horizontal for too long eh?

im right there with you jenn.. i feel like im crawling out of my skin as well.. i actualy bought some b stress complex today and it really helps me for a few hours after i take it.. in the meanwhile im trying to distract myself with movies and crappy cable television.. you have to hit rock bottom before you find your way out it seems.. try the b vitamin and make sure youre stocked up on sleeping aids and what not.. its going to be all right.. it really is.. (something i have to keep telling myself since it feels like im in hell right now)

you know what too, guys?  maybe this isn't the best advice, but i took a ton of sh** to help me sleep last night, and today was much better.

even when i wasn't a "junkie" i had sleep problems, and lack of sleep makes everything - EVERYTHING - worse.

so one thing i found that really helped me between yesterday and today was getting SLEEP.

also - one other thought - i don't know everyone's story here, but most of us do not have an incurable disease (well, maybe a manageable one anyway, some none at all) and all we have to do is GET OFF THE DRUGS.  WE have a choice.  many do not have a choice to feel like sh** - so in a way, we're blessed to feel like sh** (PLEASE don't take this wrong...) because we CAN get better.

alot of people don't have the choice or option of getting better.

so maybe tonight, i will count my blessings for that.

food for thought.

thanks everyone again for all of your help.  i don't know if i could have done this without this place.

with love...

Hi J.

It is tough yes but the good part is that you aren't really that old and your body will heal fast.

I did post earlier, Can you get to a doc for some help?? don't have to do this all at once you know.  

Best
Jim

We are reading and thinking of you... I know this is hard... Do you have a doc that could give you some clonidine?? It would help much more than the benzo's..  banana's help for cramps.. as well as Hylands Restful Legs.. salty foods help with the chills, lots of hot showers and baths..
You can get through this...

Hang on................it will get better.  We are hear for you and we are listening.  If you come across one of our "funky" patches here in the forum just scroll back to the archives, someone will say something that you can relate to, it never fails.

I have heard that advil pm helps for sleep and others swear by the Thomas Recipe.   Whatever you do just don't use that drug that got you here, k?   Stay with it and it will pass.....
