Day Three

[gg636]

Well  .. I just got home from a sales meeting and the pharmacy.  I am a bit disappointed.  I actually stoped by 2 diffrent prarmacy's today to pick up my supplements.  The first pharmist said that the vitimin's would not help me- that I really need to get on suboxone.  I ignored him and bought them anyway. The 2 pharmist said do NOT quit cold Turkey and taper. Anyway, they only items I was able to get today was Melatonin, Potassium 99mg,Multi completeVitimin and some Muscle Rub.. What do I need OH and BTW I was tpld not to take to much potassium

well I had the taper from hell 8 1/2 mo off methadone but I learned there is a fine line between to fast and to slow let your body be the judge rather then a calander go fast enough to make progress when you start feeling the withdrawals slow down just a smige to slow drags it out to fast and your in withdrawals it is different for everybody no to tapers are the same experiment try a few mg and see how you do always wait at lest 3 days for your body to recover if it work with a few try a few more once you hit withdrawals your over that line but that line is different for everybody hope this helps I wish they would just let me spell it out but if I do they will pull the post and have a talk with me im one of the community leaders im suppose to know the rules and follow them and I do......Gnarly

Well about 2 months.....from 45mg hydro now down to 15...it was pretty easy dropped. 1.25mg a day up until I hit 20mg now it is every week...like gnarly said before the lower the didget the more difficult it becomes...its weird cuz u would think it is easier....

I think my eyes hurt for not enough sleep

I have no clue,,, How long have you been tapering? And what exactly was you taking? For me I have taking approx 40 mabbe 50 mg of Lortab foe quite some time,,

HI dont let me throw a wrench in what your doing but you would be a lot more cofortable tapering slower where not aloud to give numbers or dose but a few mg at a time or a pill at a time then alow 3 days for your body to adjust this will take away a lot of the discofort tapering is a game that the tortuts wins not the hare as addicts we want it and wa want it now!!! but that dont work tapering pacents is what you need slow and steady you cant go to slow if your feeling bad withdrawals your going to fast and just by the drop in dose you gave I know your feeling it slow down it is especially important in the lower doses good luck and God bless.......Gnarly

what you got today is fine. no you dont need suboxone. dont listen to him.
potassium helps alot for your legs. eat small healthy meals. lots of fruits,veggies and protein. stay hydrated. you are going to be fine. keep pressing forward. one more day of work right? then you have the weekend off? working is really helping to take your mind off it.good job.
the multi vitamin is fine and the melatonin is good for sleeping.
take a hot bath and drink some sleepy time tea.
