Day 8

[hopeless]

Hi everyone, it is day 8 for me. I still CAN NOT believe i made it this far along. this is so unreal to me. I just wanted to let you all know if it was not for this site and reading what you all are going through as well and to know what is up the road for me has helped me amazingly. Just to know i am not alone is a good feeling. I have only slept about 6 or 7 hrs. in the past 8 days it has been horrible. I got most of that from last night. I woke up this morning and felt groggy and restless. I really am lacking energy BAD. I can do something then within 5 min. i need to rest then i go back to it again. I know i am on my way. I am thankful i got past that first hard hard week. That was just awful. My physical pains are lighting up alot, just mentally now. I still find myself wanting and thinking about where i can get a percocet at. Don't worry i am not giving in. I refuse to put my body through all that pain i went through last week. If i could just get motivated and feel alive again i think i can handle this. Any suggestions on how to do this? I still cry alot and feel depressed but i know this is normal. Just want to be the old me again that i was 5 yrs. ago. Talk to ya all soon.

A B complex will help alot with energy and stuff.. vitamin B12 gives energy and B3 can help some with the depression..

Yes depression is normal.  Day 8 is NOT heehee.  It's not in the sense that I needed the drug so bad at days 4 and 5 that I usually caved in... at least 30 times.

Great JOB!

GOT COLONIDINE?  It worked so well for me.

Please keep up the good work. You are so close to the end of dark tunnel. YOu are doing a tremendous job.

I was the same way last week. I am on day 21, but coming of a 1000mg a day dose of Oxy Contin for over three years...So that is why my w/d lasted so long,\

Anyway, I felt the same way. I had a little energy that last maybe two minutes if I was lucky. I couldn't do dishes..wash...I could barely take care of my daughter. It was a a nightmare. I was going on virtually no sleep at all. It sucked. But everyone on here gave me alot of support and helpful tips to get me through.

Get Melatonin...it will help you sleep most certainly. But the first time I took it, I tool like 5/3mg pills and felt groggy the next morning, but got like 6-7hours sleep. So be careful. And get the B-Vit's/Thomas Recipe. L-Tyrosine will give you some energy the very first time you take it...But I took 3000mgs, like the Recipe says..

Keep posting n let us know how u are. Stay strong, don't cave in n get a perc..or u will be doing this again, the next day...maybe not as bad, but again...

Good Luck.

from what i have read on here ..the energy comes back day by day.
yesterday was my day 8 and i was the same way. I could do more but took longer to do it. today on day 9..(hope this helps) i have a lil more energy..i showered, went to the dr, and am getting my kid ready for bible school. yes i feel like i need a nap and honestly lil naps seem to help. even its like 15 minutes at a time you rest..they feel like power naps. i slept this morning til 1030 lol. there is energy on the horizon. i am having my b-12 shots called in for me. they were too busy at the dr office to give me one. but ill let ya know if those help ok. your doing great and im glad to see you doing good.

What is the L-Tyrosine? Never heard of this before. I did read up on the Thomas Recipe, seemed like alot of products involved though, and i don't want to mess with all that... Something that can help with depression and definately something to help me to get some energy would be great for now. Hopefully something that will help ASAP would be great. Tired of feeling weak and just want to get back on with my life i had 5 years ago, sooooooo freakin bad. I am giving it my all and NOT gonna give in, as a matter of fact a friend just called and said she got her refill on percs today and offered me some, OMG as much as i wanted so badly to say heck yaaaaaa I resisted, and so NO not right now. So i know i am doing something right, and I know i am on my way to feeling better. Just wnt energy and not to feel depressed is all. Can ya help?  

Thanks again, Hopeless

Thanks for your advice, and letting me know whats next to come, you are one day ahead of me, so when i see what you can do now it gives me hope. I did get a hot bath about 3 hrs. ago and when i got out i was exhausted. I sat here and talked for a bit, then went back in to dry my hair, then back out here to talk some more then back in to get dressed. Just seems like it is taking me forever to get movin'... Makin me crazyyyy.... LOL... Oh well guess it's to be expected, right? Anyway thanks again, will keep checking back. Good luck to you browneyes, sounds like you are doing great. Definately an inspiration....
