MedHelp Member's Question

When will the energy return?

Tags: Addiction, vitamins

I'm addicted to hydro and am now quitting. Today is day 4 and I have no energy. I just got into a new job and I really don't want to go in there all sluggish like on my first week. How can I regain my energy. I used to be very athletic before the prescription. Basketball, swimming, snowboarding, biking, anything really. Now I am so tired and lazy all I can do is something active for about 20 mins tops. Any suggestions on how I can get back to normal quicker?

Day 4 for me to bro. Same feeling....no energy at all. I take vitamins and that does seem to help a little. I too am usually very active but after taking my last hydro my energy has left me.

I'm not sure what to do. I did read a post that said drinking those energy drinks may help...the only problem with those is you really CRASH when the sugar and caffeen wears off

I've been told you need a blood pressure medication like klonodine to counteract the weakness. It's the best you can get in America, the better treatment drugs aren't allowed.

Clonidine helps with some withdrawal symptoms, but it actually makes you feel MORE tired. I had rather be tired any day than have bad anxiety, sweats, and body aches. I drank Red Bulls like crazy. Yeah, I crashed a couple hours later, but the crash was what I was getting anyway without the Red Bulls. I've also seen people recommend sublingual B-complex vitamins for energy. You can get that at any WalMart. Comes in a little vial with a dropper. It does seem to help some. My energy started getting better around day 7. Keep hanging in there!!
