Day 1 again..and crazy mood swings

[vnessa813]

Ok, so I went for only two days, and yesterday, ruined it. So, today is day 1 again. I am feeling pretty guilty about it, like I let myself down. I know, I have to just start again, just had to post this here for someone to talk to I guess, since I have noone to talk to about ''this''. I really do have a question though, Has anyone else experienced anger as a wd symptom? I have been getting REALLY angry lately, over the littlest things. Even this morning it happened when I was getting my son ready for school, and I got mad at him. I had to leave the room, because I didn't want to loose it. I have never been like this before. My husband must think im crazy going through mood swings like this.

Thanks, guys. I did see Thomas's post, and have done pretty much all of it exept for the vitamins, which I am definitly going to try. And yes, RAGE describes it perfectly. I have gotten so bad that i want to hurt someone or break something, punch a hole in the wall or something. I am soooo not like this. Im glad im not the only one, everyone is just kind of walking around the house in an awkward silence since this morning, so it must have been horrible for them. I feel like an abusive wife or something..lol.. Ok well i will keep posting as i go through these brutal wd's if i dont end up in jail first. :)

I completely understand and empathize with you because I am not myself either and I feel an extreme amount of anger at times...almost a rage, which is very out of character for me.  The emotional and mental anguish from pills are more miserable than the physical symptoms for many people.  You mentioned that you have dealt with withdrawals before but it has never seemed like this and that sounds very familiar to what I am experiencing at this time.  
Very best of luck to you.  Try some herbs and vitamins, perhaps check out the Thomas Recipe, that has been very effective for many people.  The interaction of this forum helps to offset some of the 'crazy' feelings - it helps to know that you are not alone and others are feeling just as crazy.

It is the wd's,,beieve me. I've had the same on the two occassions I've gone thru this crap. I was three weeks out back in August post surgery and due to some stupid complication, had to backtrack..Just do the best you can to keep it in check. I have 4 teens I spar with everyday btw :)

Yeah I have been through wd's before, but this is new. I have never had THIS before. I mean I had to get out of the room, cuz i felt like I was gonna actually lose my grip, and the last thing I want to do is hurt one of my kids. I hope its wd's because i feel a little crazy right now.

Heck yeah anger and mood swings are there. wd's are not fun,don't feel good and can make a person react in all kinds of ways that aren't normally the way one would act. Use the anger to your advantage. Direct it at the pills, because the pills are the root cause right now. Try to remember that when you feel like lashing out..Your going to have 3 or 4 uncomfortable days here before things turn the other direction..Just keep that in mind and try your best to realize this is normal and things will be ok..Just a few more days..Hang in there, try to stay busy, and try not to sit still if the thoughts start to overwelm you..Get up ,do something, get on the forum here,talk,,whatever..It will pass...
