Feel odd not taking pills

[kris123]

I am so use to taking pills everyday that I just feel weird and not normal.  I always thought pills make me feel normal.  I was taking percocets 5/325 12 a day.  Since I am not taking them today, my legs are weak, I am tired, and I don't feel normal.  Is this what it feels like????  I feel like I am in my own little world.  You know I got 9 pills in my purse but i am not going to take them.  I am not sure why I even have them in there.  I think maybe in the back of my mind I want to prove to myself I don't need them.  I just want to feel normal.  I just don't feel happy and I am depressed.  What day does it get better????  I feel so lonely and sad like nobody cares.

Hey hun why do you have nine pills on u .. you are torturing yourself ...Sara is right stick to the meds your doctors put u on until the baby is born.Let me know what the doctor says ..

[kris123]

Yes, the OB has cleared all the med that the psychiatrist gave me.  That was seoquel(sp), neurtion(sp), my thyorid med, and the BP med the dr gave me for my withdrawels.  I just made a call into him and told him I have high anxeity and what does he suggest I do.

Well said. Listen to pharm kris. These things will help. But please, flush the other pills.

This is a good time to quit ct...early on before it gets worse.Flush those other pills away and take the vitamins to help your body through withdrawals.
I suggest Vitamin c 1000mg,vit b12 methylcobalamin under the tongue,Vit d 2000U and b vitamins with minerals ,omega3 and coenzymeq10 100mg daily.
These vitamins help the nervous system regenerate and your immune system.
Sphynxs is right,potassium and magnesium help the restless legs.
If you need pills for rebound pain,take 2 extrastrength tylenol every 4 hours max 4000mg/24hrs,or 800mg ibuprofen every 6 hours max 2400mg daily.
To help me sleep at night I took Nyquil without the decongestant a few nights and I got through withdrawals working the whole time.No days off.
Nyquil can be habit forming so i only recommend it a few nights to get through the worst.It contains doxylamine an antihistamine that causes drowsiness,1000mg tylenol,dextromethorphan a very mild opiate that I feel soothes the opiate receptors during withdrawal
Good luck in healing and keep posting.
PS I am over 5 months opiate free now and have no cravings at all.
The otc pain meds work for my rheumatoid arthritis pain just fine.

Only you can make the change. I'll support anything you want to say or do. Just know that there are people here with the same problems. I started taking pills cause of pain too. Towards the end I wasn't even sure where the pain ended and the addiction began. 2 months isn't horrible. You can do this. I promise you.

I know, but man, this is just crazy.  I hate feeling this way.  I took the d a m n pills cause of emotional reasons and back pain.  but more to not have emotional pain.  I just couldn't go on taking them.  I only took them for two months but that is long enough anyway.

whoah, first off.... don't feel lonely or nobody cares. That's why this forum exists. To show that people care. Can I make a suggestion? Get rid of the pills. They will taunt you and manipulate you. You will feel normal again... I promise. The road is rough, no doubt about it. But, think of what's at the end of the road. Cleanliness. Normality. Think about my advice. It's just advice though.
