Eleven months of vicodin finally came to an end this week...
Tapering down over the last three weeks...
And took my last half pill of vicodin Wednesday at 1145am...
All I can think about is asking the doctor for another script...
Other than a worn out gut... I am feeling ok...
Although it is crazy difficult to find motivation to work today...
Any advice to help my focus and energy...

Hi  well N/A is a great program it is free and most places you can find several meetings just google N/A in your area the program is great as addicts we think quitting the pills was all you needle to do what you wind up with is a ''clean addict'' but still with addict brain N/A will help you change the very way you think and being around like minded people is priceless for many of us it is the first time your understood ''those that go to meetings tend to stay clean''  now for a old dope fiend like me it takes 4 meeting a week but it is a cheep price to pay to stay clean this is one of the best things you can do so step out of your comfort zone and go you wont regret it

currently all mental withdrawal... tapering was soo hard... but i did... snuck in an extra half pill on a day or two... so i wasnt perfect...but for the last three weeks... basically went from 3 per day... 2 per day... then 1 per day... here i am now...
just wishing it were a week later...
are NA meetings good... i am so afraid to show up and walk through the door... arrogance... or ego... or pride... or combination of all three are stopping me...

how are you feeling??  are you having normal withdrawal symptoms??
it is wonderful you had the willpower to taper.  most don't.  
RLS in my legs and arms are the worst symptoms for me.
cal/mag/zinc (3 in 1) vitamin as well as bananas, hot epsom salt baths help a lot with that.
if you don't feel like eating at least drink ensure or carnation instant breakfast.
if possible try and find a NA meeting.  it may help to talk to people in person.
any questions just ask.
congrats on taking your life back

i started taking wellbutrin a week ago to try and stop smoking (the only thing in my life i can not stop) and it is helping a tad bit with energy and reducing cravings.  actually feel really nauseated when i smoke.  can help with cravings and energy for most people.  added benefit of helping with depression as well.
