Congratulations on your 15 days clean. Energy must be a common problem because I've seen it a mentioned a lot. I just got off fentanyl patches. It will be one week tomorrow night. I have been getting vitamin B shots from my dr. during my taper and I'll keep getting them every week if I'm not too tired to drive to her office. lol They truly do help though.
Maybe someone stole all of our energy and it's in a big ball hidden somewhere. Wouldn't it be nice to find it?? lol

Have a great night and a better tomorrow.....LS

I tapered down.  With my hubby's help though.  I could never have tapered on my own.  The withdrawal was still there, but not like cold turkey.  I don't know which is worse, I have done both.  With c/t, you seem to get hit really hard, but then it's over.  With my taper, the withdrawal wasn't as severe, but lasted longer.  Felt like I was delaying the enevitable.  So you are really going to be released from your doctor on Monday?  My god, you were just at the ER the other nite.

Hi there.  I have followed you from the beginning.  It is really great that you have accomplished this.  From what I have heard about the patches, they are definitely a force to be reckoned with.  Aren't you in Indiana?  If so, then we very well might have the same person stealing our energy!!

That's where I'm at and I'm gonna start looking for that energy. lol If I find it I promise to share with you.......LS lol

Hey I thank you for that.  The drama here is something sometimes.  I even had a post deleted the other nite, and I really don't know why.  I didn't get any emails from Medhelp or anything, and no one was really upset in the post, but poof it was gone.  I am here for you to, unless of course it would be blood you would need, LOL, only I assure you cause I am so far away.   LOL.  I hate needles.

Can I be nosy and ask what part of the state?  I am in north central.  I have noticed many times that when you describe the weather where you are, it is almost identical to mine.
