TIRED..everyday, all day

Question

Withdrawal wasn't so bad..I did a taper then plunged into it, the only thing that consumes me is i'm tried all the time!! and my muscles ache all the time...will this ever go away??  And fighting temptation is pretty consuming since I AM A PHARMACIST!!

I just want to know if there are any suggestions...i feel like im always looking for a chemical answer (obviously b/c im an addict)

Also I can't sleep, legs get 2 restless and it wakes me up, Are these days ending soon? Today is my 7th day clean and i feel like i don't know if tomorrow i will feel any better

Any Suggestions??? -Tired

You poor thing and I had the nerve to complain (up above).  How do you go to work everyday and resist, you are one strong person.  If I ever do get off this stuff, that is one of my fears, that I still won't ever really feel good again.  Did you say how long you had been totally off all meds?  Just wandering.  Sorry if you already said, but like I said, I feel so bad today and supposed to be here typing as fast as I can the entire night long (I am a medical transcriptionist).

Love, Cindy

I know how you feel, I am a nurse and I give out pills all day.  But, I am on day 22 and I can say that I am a little tired some days, but not always.  You will feel better each day.  Make yourself do things and it gets better.  I walk my dogs every evening and it seems to help.  Now, I have such an appetite that I  am going to have to start watching what I eat -- my clothes feel snug.  Anyway, just wanted to let you know it will get better.
