Day 2 off Vicodines

Well I am feeling crappy but amazed that I am still functioning. I had the runs all day yesturday and today and my body feels like a mac truck hit it. I am grateful I found the Dr. to work with me...what ever they gave me for sleeping  knocked me out...I wen to bed at 8:30 and slept till 4-5 AM...pretty good I think...I layed in bed and had intermitten sleep until 7 when I had to get up...feed, dress, and get my 2 little ones of to preschool and school. Had a parent teacher conferance....and I am at work (totally against my physicians wishes but I have a lot of work to do before I leave for 2 weeks of trade shows) I even did an interview today with NBC morning channel...however I am sure i will look like hell on TV...I look exhusted and shaky.
I guess I am just releived...I had worked myself up into such a hizzy about stopping and was so scared that my blood rpeasure was crazy...whcih I do not ever have any issues with...but the anxiety was overwhelming. The clonodine helped me with that. I also got some of the things from Thomas recipee and also the amino recipe but only had a CVS nearby to get things and they don't carry it all. But I am just here to say THANK you for all that talked to me on this forum when I was scared and desparate to quit.....I know they say day 3 is the worst...but honestly...I feel bad....but not imobile...I feel sluggish and soar but I can still function. I think as a full time workign mother you learn to persever throuh everything.!!!! I was so ready to be done that I am now sick but releived...I made the choice and I am done!!!!!

It sounds like you are prepared for this and it may not be as bad as expected. It seems for most day 3 and 4 are the worst, but you will be fine. I think a lot scare themselves before they w/d. Although w/ding can be hell, i think a good frame of mind helps in the process. Congrats on day 2, you can do this. Good luck

Well the doctor today said I was doing well....she scorned me for going to work....but I have so much to do I don't have a choice!!! I am going to try and play my final indoor Coed soccer game tonight , we didn't find a sub fo rme and the team needs the third girl....so I am going but will be pathetic....although I played so well under a lot of vicodine (which is crazy too) but I am going....then taking some sleep meds and knocking myslef out getting the kids out to school and then I have to go to work!!!! I have to so I do it....I always worked when I was sick with any cold or flu....and still had to take care of the kids. So I will do same now!!!
