The physical effects of wd are starting to get better. Now I'm really depressed. How long does this last & any suggestions for dealing with it.Do I just kick back or try to stay busy? Should I get rid of rest of hydro? My husband has them.

You are doing good. Depression and lack of energy are very common.
Just remember that it took time for the body to get out of whack by our use of drugs. It takes time to have it re-regulate itself again. some things can take months. Be patient with yourself during the recovery process. The next thing you may soon experience is a flood of emotions.

The Top 10 reasons why a handgun is better than a woman



#10 - You can trade an old .44 for two new .22s.


#9 - You can keep one handgun at home and have another for
when you're on the road.


#8 - If you admire a friend's handgun, and tell him so, he
will probably let you try it out a few times.


#7 - Your primary handgun doesn't mind if you have a
backup.


#6 - Your handgun will stay with you even if you're out of
ammo.


#5 - A handgun doesn't take up a lot of closet space.


#4 - Handguns function normally every day of the month.


#3 - A handgun doesn't ask "Do these new grips make me look
fat?"


#2 - A handgun doesn't mind if you go to sleep after you
use it.


AND THE NUMBER ONE WAY THAT A HANDGUN IS BETTER THAN A
WOMAN . . . You can buy a silencer for a handgun.

if the withdrawls are getting better than you must have passed the hump and that is great. the brain needs a little time to heal. those amino acids will really speed it up.

i think we have to teach our brain to do the endorphins on its own again. laughing is the best! just try and take in as much funny people, movies, and stuff you can. there were some thoughts on marriage that helped me out once. i will see if i can find them.

hi laura. i am on day 10 off vicodin. you will depressed for 4 or 5 days and then day by day you will start to feel normal again. take valium if you have any and just try to sleep through the first few days.  remember, don't take another pill, you have to be strong. prayer helped me the most.
