Day 20

Question

Day 20 off of detox with Suboxone, Day 30 off of 2 and half year hydro binge.. life truely is better on the other side.. I will admit i was scared that i would go crazy or something if i had to live without some kind of escape.. but actually its quite nice.  My apologies to anyone who was looking for me here today.. i was busy around the house with hubby and I had my step daughter for a few hours..

Hope everyone is having a great 4th... i for one am tired of listening to the fireworks already and its only 10pm....my foot is a bit better today.. the hydrocortisone the doc suggested seems to be helping with the immflamation.

XOXO

stephanie-- you are such an inspiration.....w/o your suggestions, i would not be feeling better today....day 5- going from 6-10/325/day to 3/day (6 halves).
but will take your suggestions from now on the rest of the way off of these things.....only 1/2 of 1 dose per week, correct? that is what i am planning, now that i can think clearer, and the w/d's of such a big drop seem to be over.....also got the bcomplex, and the taurine, gnc did not have the other two (leucine and metheinine) as seperate amiino acids....only in a complex, but it was too expensive and didn't have enough of them in the complex.......you seem so together, i can't imagine that you thought you would go crazy.....your research has helped so many of us, i am truly grateful.......and i did lookk up your other postings about tapering, and the way the drug affects our brains, which i didn't understand too much of, but was great reading....thanks again, and please keep us updated on your journey.....it keeps me going.....

if they upset your stomach the doctor in the book says you can take them with meals for awhile until you get used to them..just a suggestion..

Congrats on your clean time!  Everytime I see you post how many days, I smile for you...Keep it going!!

I'm tired of hearing the fireworks too.  Our dogs are very scared of the noise.  They're driving us all crazy!  I'm going through Cymbalta withdrawal and medication changes...which have made me very irritable as well...so I'm just not in the mood!

Hope you had a good day...

You are doing great.Keep it up one day at a time.
Thank you for looking up the amino acid info. for me.
I am going to take 5HTP,L-Glutamine,DLPA,L-Tyrosine and I found 
a great Sublingual Liquid B-Complex.I will take a dose 
somewhere in between what it says on bottle and what you
are taking.(the aminos upset my stomach a little)lol
You are a very special person.It is wonderful how you are
always here to help everyone.God bless you.
