Day 2

[desperatetostop]

its day two without any opitates...
I feel as though I have a horrible cold coming on...flu like symptoms as well...which every one in the office is afraid of the swine flu...but I know its just the w/d.

Slept ok last night with the help of ativan...sweating alot though.

today going thru chills and then hot...to chills again.

still taking L-Tyrosine and Tylenol. anyone know which vitamin helps warm up the body? My grandmother used to give my mom something years ago...I think it was one of the B's.

Thanks a bunch

Vitamin d3 works great for a lot of things...it helps bones, imunity and much more...look it up.

so far this evening is much better than last night.
just went to pharma and got my chantix...i'll be starting that tomorrow.

i'm scared

[desperatetostop]

thanks sara...I am taking the L tyrosines...in fact, I'm due for my 4:00 dose (overdue...hahaha)
you're right...its not a miracle pill...nothing comes without strings...though I do feel better than before. But the reality is, if I don't fully experience the horrible feelings of w/d I may end up right back where i started. I need for this to be as unpleasent as possible so that I REMEMBER.

I am feeling tired and a little dizzy. Drinking LOTS of water today. I have noticed that I feel pretty darn good when I'm walking around...

Thanks for the support

What you took is not a miracle pill........Those pills come with their own set of problems and need to be taken under a doctors supervision, not from a co worker.  I know wd is tough but it is the only way out.  There are other things you can do to try and ease the wd's like taking warm baths or showers, drinking plenty of liquids and taking supplements.  You can do this......................sara

ok...is this cheating...I took a quarter of a sub??? whatever its called. I was really feeling like **** and the one dude at the office is on day one and he went and got the little miracle pill and split it with me...i took only a quarter and I'm hoping I wont need the only one till sometime tomorrow, if at all.

I HAVE to tell my man tonight...he really thinks I have the flu.

I AM feeling a little bit better since I took that 1/4...chills definitely have mellowed out, in fact I'm feeling warm again. :)
I still feel icky, but not as bad as before.

still cranky...tummy isnt right...can't eat real food...been snacking on saltines and half a cup of tomato flourentine (yum! just can't eat it all) feeling a little shaky too. Have a partial headache but I took Tylenol at noon...so I need to wait one more hour as I am depserately trying to FOLLOW DIRECTIONS! this oughta be good. If only I had followed direction with the hydrocodone...perhaps I wouldn't be feeling like this today, eh?

well...only 2 more hours left at work...I'm surviving...slowly but surely.

Your doing great..Keep posting it really helps And Yes, for me it did get a little better each. I'm on day three.Hand in there.You can do it.. God bless you.Steve

[dominosarah]

You keep telling yourself that each day will get better.  Your mind can be a very powerful thing.  As for the chills..this will get better with time.  Just know you are doing a really good thing here and these symptoms wont last.  Drink plenty of fluids and get up and move as much as you can.  Keep taking your supplements.  Are you going to any type of aftercare?  You are doing great!!!!!!!!          sara

[desperatetostop]

I'm glad to know that there is hope and this will get better...what scares me is that ppl keep saying that the 3rd and 4th day are worse...I want to believe each day will get better and better.

omg. this totally is NOT fun

[tooklastdose]

you guys are doing great.   hang in there.  I'm day 10 and it is so much better,  Still some minor symptoms, but no where near the first week.

bless you

[desperatetostop]

I'm doing the best I can...one freakin minute at a time.

I would LOVE to just go home and sleep...but I'm saving up my time for Disney in December!

these darned chills are making me crazy.

How is day 3?
