i guess its the depression that goes with detoxing. im sorry for what you are going thru now. its like time stands still but before you know it 6 days has gone by. stay strong and keep up the good work.i looked at my sobriety as this, my 18yr old nephew is dying of cancer. if he can get up and go to his chemo and fight for his life i can detox off these pills. i also did it for me. i dont want to die, i want to live and have a life. i want kids, house, memories and milestones. the depression part is bad i wont lie and many times wanted to die and sometimes still do but i keep moving forward cuz according to these posts it really does get better.

Good for you and what Lesa said is true at work you will have less time to think about it.  You sure have come a long way in a short time.  Was this your first time getting off of the drug, what were you taking and how much when u stopped?  I did not see the post of when you stopped sorry for asking again but just so eveyone knows what you stopped and things like that help out alot of other people and it lets them know it can be done............Have a good day at work and keep us posted.

Congratulations on regaining your Freedom.. Going to work will make the process of detox faster as keeping busy and movement go a long way in helping with the anxiety and irritating symptoms that are left.. Sleep will come too you.. it may be broken at first but it gets longer and better... Keep you eye on the goal and again congrats.. lesa

Congrats on 5 days, I am sure it will be getting a lot better soon. Sleep is hard to come by at first, are you taking anything for that? Melatonin worked great for me. Keep moving forward, your doing great so far:)
