Finally

[bb454]

I finally told my husband today about me abusing my prescribed vicodin. Big weight lifted but still feel like crap... Day 3.

[Dixiechick72]

Awe congrats. Glad it makes u feel better. Hang in there. I'm on day 3 too. Getting ready to make myself walk ... But it's great when u can unleash things isn't it?? Stay strong !!!

[Pat1956100]

Was your husband supportive?  I am glad you did it.  I told my son and that was so hard and he was so supportive..  I will never forget it. I could just cry thinking about it.

[bb454]

Yes hes being very supportive. Thank god.I am feeling so badly right now I can barely move.

[Free2agoodhome]

keep going  only good thing to come from here.....

[Dixiechick72]

Eat and drink. It keeps ur energy up. Drink Gatorade. Trust me. I'm on day 3 walking on the treadmill now. I feel old but hey I'm moving for almost 30 minutes now. So be strong. Keep going ok. U got this

[bb454]

Dixie how many are you coming off of? Im coming off around 6 to 8..sick as a dog and so depressed I can barely have a conversation with someone ugh!!!!!

[Pat1956100]

Believe me, I'm not on any treadmills.  It took all my strength to go downstairs and get crackers. try and see if you can much on a few crackers. Drink as much as possible.  Just think in a couple of days you will be drug free and feel so much better.  

[Pat1956100]

Well you are already drug free and you are on day 3 so you should be feeling better any time now.

[bb454]

I am going to force myself to eat something small..feel like im going to pass right out.

[bb454]

My Dad died in July..he was recovered for years and if he were here he would be able to help me along here..this is so fd up..my personality is gone right now..stare is blank!

[Pat1956100]

I believe your father is helping you through this.  Sorry if that offends you.  You just need to relax and get through this.  Can you get your husband to get you some "ensures" or "boosts".  They have them in drug stores or Walmart.  They are full of vitamins and taste good. They are a meal replacement and they use them in the hospital for people who can't eat.

[bb454]

It doesnt offend me I just wish he were here!

[Pat1956100]

I know hun. I wish my husband was here to help me too.  Actually if he was I wouldn't have these problems.
It's so hard and now that we are coming off the pills all our emotions are coming out that we have supressed.  I felt that yesterday.
I just couldn't stop crying.  I didn't reach for a percocet though.
I just feel that they are pulling for us and giving us the strength to get through this nightmare.
I want to scream at my husband too.  Look at what you did to me by leavning me.  See how well I did without you.
Yeah that's not fair but it's how I feel.  I feel like I wish I had never fallen in love with him.  It just hurts too much when they're gone.

Congrats...You are almost over the worst - try to eat, drink Ensure, take a walk if possible. On day 4 you should start seeing a light at the end of this hellish tunnel. Be proud of what you've accomplished thus far, and realize that you have a lot of happiness to look forward to.

[bb454]

Thank you. The pain in my legs are imbelievable! Taking 800 mil of motrin with no relief.......im so sorry you lost ypur husband :(  lets hope our lost loved ones are up there pulling for us..do u think someome like me needs to go to rehab? Coming off 6 to 8 vicodin 7.5 a day.

[Pat1956100]

That is your decision.  I think that the worst of the physical is over.  I was taking 20 percs a day and oxy's when I couldn't find percs.  I'm surprised I'm alive.
Try taking a hot bath.  People say it really helps with the leg pain.  Also epsom salts in the bath really help.
I think you are just about through this.  I found just when I thought I couldn't stand it any more it was almost over.  
Hang in there.  Give it a few more hours and keep posting.

[Blackwolfsgirl]

ZJust hang in there. I am on day 7 and feeling much better. Day 4 -5 is when I started feeling better, not great but better. At day 7 I feel as if I just worked out too hard.

[bb454]

Thanks everyone! Your messages mean more than you know!

[Pat1956100]

Everyone helped me through such a rough day yesterday.  I know how much it helps.  I didn't think I was going to make it.
Day 3 is so rough and you have been doing really well.
Keep posting if you want to.
We are all here for you.
More people seem to come on in the evening.
Hugs

Bananas helped me, also Jello, drink ginger ale for the upset stomach.  Keep up the good work your doing fine it only gets better and don't give up

[bb454]

930... Of day 3... Body hurts like I have been run over by a truck. Looking forward to a long restless night ahead. I have Ambien and wonfer if it will make me sleep through the restlrss legs which drive me INSANE. I have xanex too..which I will never abuse because I hate that tired sluggish feeling. Vicodin game me so much energy..then turned on me. F'n devil.pills.

[Pat1956100]

Lack of sleep is something we are going to have to accept for awhile.  Don't stay in bed and toss and turn.  It's too frustrating. Watch tv or get on the computer.  I know it is really awful.  I hate it.  

[bb454]

For the record hylands restful legs have been a god send...

Hi bb, just wanted to offer encouragement and support. I remember those early days of detox well. I'm glad you found this site. I wasn't prepared when I quit. I didn't know about the vitamins and supplements, the only thing I took until day 4 was a multivitamin and Immodium. Keep going, hun, take it as it comes. I'm thinking of you today.

Hugs and prayers,

Minn
