Day 6 cracking!

Hi everyone, day 6 off hydros 4 me,
I'm feeling like I'm "druged" very
Confused, foggy feeling is this normal?
Could lack of sleep & food do this?
What can help with this? Also still sick @ stomach! Does this ever end?
I still have ability 2 get my refill 120
Pills should I get them & try taper or not
So lost & alone please help...
Suboxone would that help or would I just
Abuse that 2? I feel so weak right now. I don't know what is going 2 happen 2 me.
Will the nitemare ever end?

It sounds to me that possibley your blood sugar is dipping too low, which would cause you to feel confused and dizzy, etc. Also these are sings of dehydration so make sure you are getting yourself plenty to drink. Take you vitamins too. BTW, condrats on 6 days!!! Luv, Jacky

I wish u luck..i really do...but u have made a plan with a real big hole in it..perhaps u had not posted here before u stopped///but keeping refills on hand or any pills on hand is a sure fire way to fail//u have set urself up to fail so do not beat urself up when u fail....being able to let go meansbeing able to let go of drs who rx u pills, friends who sell of give them to u..and cancelling any refills....if a person is unable to inform drs etc that they want no more narcotics then they leave the line to a quick relapse wide open
If u didnt realize that u would want that refill then perhaps u r ready to let go...but now is the time to let it go or just try again later......perhaps u stopped due to the pain of addiction which is what drives many to stop//worring bout running out every mth can be a big bumber//or wds every mth waitng on refills..if u r unable to let ur dr know u stopped and want no more///then perhaps this is not ur time//not to be negative but every month those pills will sing to u from the pharmacy like a loud rock n roll band./.and u will most likely cave//most can not withstand this presssure//not even the most serioous of the peeps stopping//it is just too much to bear early on//or even later on
Chances are is u can not stop ur dose of hydro now./then u r not ready//sub is a step way up the ladder for a hydro user at ur dose...wds from sub will put wds from ur 75-150 mg hydro habit to a small flu bug///sub is a very long wd///and a lot harder than ur dose of hydro...do it in less than 21 days then perhaps u wont develop a sub addiction but have heard have problems getting off sub in less time than the 21 day mark//we r all different///thing is when the sub is gone u r still left with that hole inside u//and finally..i realized this is where my work to get and stay clean stemmed from..

no drug nor no one else can make u clean//only u can and u gotta want it badly from way deep down inside....keep posting

U r almost there don't get them filled hang in there cause u know that ifbu get them u mist likely won't be able to tape as most addicts can't and even if u did taper I r gonna go thru withdrawals and the withdrawals after u taper will still b there for a few days so u figure divi wanna withdrawal again for a week or more if u get them filled or withdrawal right now for a couple more days and not have to do it again. U can do if bro we e here to help anyway possible so stick it out for a couple more days and be done with it u can do it hang in there and be strong.

I was in the same boat recently. 7.5/750, anywhere from 10 to 20 a day for over 3yrs. If your 6 days in then your almost there. You know that magic spot where you wake up one day and you feel alot better and your head seems alot clearer. Just make a comittment that your done, once and for all. You have control whether it feels that way right now or not, it's all in your hands. you want some real power, and strength? Get those pills and flush them. I purposely got a 100ct bottle and flushed them, and I was amazed how liberating that was. Stay strong, because you are. No one gets to day 6 being weak..

Yeah that's the feeling that bothers me the most, even more than the pain is the outer space outer body head feeling. It's just your central nervous system waking up. Laying down is the best thing for it.  Also make sure you are getting plenty of fluids and eat something so your sugar won't drop because that makes that fuzzy feeling 100 times worse. Eat crackers and peanut butter to get your sugars straight, Orange juice helps too. Just turn on the tv and try to stay still, this  feeling will pass. Ive been right where you are and I know it's so hard, but you have 6 days behind you so don't go back now. Get through today, tommorrow you may feel totally different and clear headed. Keep Going Best Wishes

Please, dont go back!!! You are on your way! I know it seems like all this is closing in on you. But it will pass. How long have you been on the Hydros? I had to take Subutex, and for me I did not abuse them. Drink lots of water,vitamins, Epsom salt bath, not to hot, then drink lots of water, takes toxins out (helps a little). Off course I am not a Dr, but for me I had to take the Subutex, similar to Suboxen. Try doing it alone, if not try and see if you can get Dr, to help with Suboxen. I will keep you in my prayers!
God Bless,
Joyce

Please dont do it. you have come too far to go back now, and yes you will probably abuse the subs too. The lack of sleep etc makes us feel like this. If you arent eating, you must take vitamins, tonic water for the potassium, power drinks help with the energy. Are you taking hot baths or showers, even if you have to sit down on the floor in the shower do it. Anything to stop you gping back. this does stop, i know you feel like it wont just now but i promise you it does. And its so worth it. I have been there, your life will be so much different when your clean. Keep up the good work, your doing really well. Keep posting, we will help you in any way we can. Im on roughly the same amount of time as you so i know how you feel but i know it will go away soon also ........James
