Mild symptoms...

Here it is 40something hours off of Suboxone detox. I have mild chills. Some hot flashes. Lots of yawning.. WTF is up with the yawning anyway?? Never understood that one..The chills always kill me.. they are not that bad however (yet?).. it did make me stare at my roommates old bottle of hydro tussin. Chills always = pills for me.. I am way too stubborn though to give up for a chug of freaking cough syrup..that is just insane..
I am taking my vitamins and aminos. Also clonidine. I have xanax if it came down to it.. but the L-theanine works just as well.. I bought a bunch of vitamin water today..some with vitamin C some with potassium. I have melatonin, a sleep blend, and lunesta as a back up.. I think i will survive..
Hubby wants me to go with him to his mom's for a BBQ tommorrow.. i told him not to count on it...to tell her tonight I am not feeling great.. that way if I feel ok. I will go. If not.. home I stay.
Hope everyone has a good night.. I will be here for a bit..

I hope you get to feeling better! How was the subox detox? Is it worth it? I am between doing that or just doing it cold turkey. You sound like a very good person and I always love your posts. If you do get to be 100% which I think you will soon, please don't leave us! (((Hugs))) Ggin35

He there sorry to hear how you are feeling, i unfortunately know nothing about that Suboxone detox.... But just wanted to tell ya how proud i am of you.. You have come along way my friend. I am sure this is all normal... I know i also yawn alot now, and don't know why either....I am also taking the vitamin B complex and it does help....Thanks to you....I am sure this will all pass, and it is to be expected. Stay strong............................

About the BarB Q thing....I don't blame ya for not feeling like going, it is hard to do, getting out around others at this point in time is hard to do.... But want to say, "It might do ya some good" I hope tomorrow you feel different and feel like going....

Good Luck to you,
Hopeless

my favorite name  hehe....Im sorry that you are having these symptoms now.  After all that you have been through, girl, you should be able to skip these lil gifts, dont u think?  What dose did you stop with?  So you notice that you are not having 2 symptoms at the same time or not really?  Dont know if you read my email but I wrote about some ppl having that experience, myself included to some degree.  

As far as the chills, do you have an electric blanket?  Kinda a funny question for Florida in the summer, hu?  Well, if either of you do stored somewhere....get it, you will be so VERY glad that u did.  That blanket saved my butt one night when chills were too much to handle (way way back).  So, do you feel like you were on them for the right amount of time?  Im sure you are now just so glad to be done, right?

Well, girl, you just take care of yourself and call the doc on Monday if you are still feeling bad or worse.  Maybe there are other options (yeah, right trace).  Positive me....hehe!!  anyway, Im just sorry that you are not feeling great right now but I also know that GREAT is coming very soon for you girl.  I can not wait to share that day with you.  Let me know if I can help and you just hang on!!

love tracy

Congratulations on reaching 40hrs. The reason everyone is yawning so much when in w/d is because all opiate and narcotics suppress the lung and breathing. Yawning is the bodies natural way of of opening the lungs back up. Yawning pulls air deep into the lung much deeper than we can even when we take a deep breath on our own.
I hope that tomorrow you are feeling great and have a few ribs for me. Staw awy from that cough syrup you hear me girl. I'll talk to ya soon.
Love ya, M

Well you're in the winners circle!  I had to get some ativan with clonidine at the ER one nite cause I just didn't want to tough it out... Ativan worked real well.  After about a week I went back on the Suboxone cause I just have too many things going on.  Especially with the courts and I was NOT going to go back to the hydros.....at about 12mgs a day which is ... well motivation in a pill... can work and all of that.  After my litigious adventure I'll get very serious.  I know how stubborn you are, heehee and I am glad for that.
With hope and Faith,
Jim

So far just the yawning and chills with the hot flashes... it could be worse so i am not complaining really..Yes I own a electric blanket... in FL most old houses don't have heat... so when it does get to be 40degrees... rare.. I get it out.. I wonder if these hot/cold flashes are anything like a fever.. you have to sweat it out..??  I just took more clonidine so that should help..
Thanks to all of you for posting....

i have an easy remedy for the chills.  take a long sock, like a soccer sock or a mans tube sock, and fill it with rice.  leave a long enough tail to tie in a knot to close the sock.   put it in the microwave for 4 minutes, and you have instant moist heat.  you can use the same sock over and over.  i have been using it at bedtime, and it really helps me relax.  i also put it on my arthritic back, the reason i got hooked on pain meds,  and it gives me relief. cheap and easy.have a great night.  you're going to do great.  luv,
